:shadow: Hello! I recently bought a shadow guard kit. It's already trimmed and I started the paint process. Is there a strapping system for the chest and back plate along with the shoulder piece? i need help.

I used velcro on my flight suit and mounted the velcro to the pieces. I would recommend using sewing velcro cause the adhesive glue after a while can give out.

I'll try that! Do you have a picture that I could look at? I just want to see how you did it. If you don't mind :trsuit:

So at first the chest plate, back plate, and shoulders I was going to go matte black but Iv'e decided to not go with the black matte anymore I'm going to paint them with a black gloss giving it that shine! I will take a better picture soon of my progress but here it is. Sorry my phone camera sucks!

Now I'm not sure how to connect them all together.

Image

I did see someone in the forums use this type of strapping system that I'd like to try but I don't know exactly how it's connected besides seeing buckles and nylon straps. What do you guys think? It's not my picture but I'd like to try this. :ani1:

So since I didn't have any vambraces i decided to use some parts from the stormtrooper kit. They look pretty good! Right now I have each vambrace clamp together since I added the super glue and will have them sit over night for the glue to comepletely stick. I may use some bondo to fix the vambraces a little bit. :D

As long as the final product looks like the game model you will be fine. No Stormtrooper Vambrace Details.
