Thats actually not a button. It's a note I tagged on there in photoshop to help show what the straps were.

I'll be weathering it when I weather the armor to get a nice consistent look. But until then, I have to find some armor! T_T

The only piece now is the part from the detonator from the armor, and I don't have the armor yet. Aside from that and the weathering, it's done.

Ask and ye shall receive! Since I don't have my armor yet, I'm leaving the strap configuration like this for the moment. It seems to work alright, I even hopped around a bit to simulate some heavier-duty trooping, and it was still sturdy. However, as I get my armor put together, the straps will allow me to try a variety of things, so I may not even use the cross-style.

Hey all, I'm new here to Sandtrooper.net. The name's David, and I'm in your DL's garrison, Southern Outpost (AL, TN, MS, KY). I'm currently a Scout Trooper in the 501st, TB-1184, but my next uniform will be a Sandtrooper. Because I love to actually build the armor just as much as I like to wear it, I thought I'd make this to save some time for me later on down the road. I'm currently finished with the construction phase, and tonight I'll be breaking it down for painting. I've seen several options for shoulder straps, but what seems to be the best way? I've seen people cross it over their chest under the armor, plain backpack style, and even some highly elaborate, time-consuming methods, and they all appear to work the same. Which works best for y'all and why?
