henselmonster Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Looking great man! They will ask you to show the original strapping external details on your chest plate. So you may want to add a picture of that, or add it to your chest plate if you haven't done so. Same goes for your rivet placement on ab and kidney, the male snap on the ab plate, and snaps and rivet on the cod piece. Great stuff though! Good Luck!

drawdan Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Im not sure if I know what you mean by the original strapping external details on the chest plate. Everything else I did complete and can take pics of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Im not sure if I know what you mean by the original strapping external details on the chest plate. Everything else I did complete and can take pics of. Looks like this. The screws need to be there, but they don't need to be functional with your strapping system, just an external detail.
