Hello all,
Below are pictures of my nearly finished armor. After a few failed attempts I went through RS Propmasters for screen accuracy. I still need to add on my holster and get the shins to fit a little better. Also I am looking for ideas for attaching my upper legs ?? Let me know what you think

Re: Nearly Finished Armor
Attaching your upper legs? How are they attached in the pics?
Most people create a belt garter system to wear under their upper body armor. The thighs are connected by hanging elastic straps to the belt around your waist, so you're wearing the thigh plates like a pair of shorts, basically.

The pics are too small for me to give advice on anything.

Re: Nearly Finished Armor
My upper legs do have a belt on them that I wrap around, just not the ideal comfort for walking. I was thinking some kind of suspender design. I can re-upload the pictures as a bigger file if needed. I will be taking more with in the next week or so and hopefully send in for application the first week of May. Also the way my snaps/ straps are placed makes my armor almost impossible to get on by myself is this something most people run into ?

Re: Nearly Finished Armor
Yes. With the correct accurate armor method used in the movies, you do need a second person to help you suit up.Starkiller1218 wrote:My upper legs do have a belt on them that I wrap around, just not the ideal comfort for walking.

You CAN use a suspender type setup, but attach them to the belt, because really the belt holding the thigh plates is the main thing. Some people do put suspenders onto it. Up to you.

Re: Nearly Finished Armor
As of today I am officially done and ready to send in my pictures to the GML. Is that done via email or through message here on the forum/ FISD forums ??

You email Ripcode, the GML. The FISD doesn't approve costumes, but does approve the above and beyond programs EIB and Centurion.

Re: Nearly Finished Armor
Thanks. I attempted Centurion standards, but as this is my first armor I do not think my modifications are proper. I will add a few more photos here in a higher resolution to show.Terrell78 wrote:You email Ripcode, the GML.
