Help please for strapping

[foxtrott alpha 123]

Help me please because my armor is complete, and I have no clue as to were I can find strapping for my armor. Can anyone tell me where I can find some, or where you got yours




p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong place

I mean the straps that are used to keep the armor on

Walmarts camping section has some nice nylon straps and buckles. I suggest those personally.

Does anyone have pictures of how they straped their armor? Inside armor pics and the location of velcro, clips, straps, etc.?

 

[foxtrott alpha 123]

thanks for the good idea I will check that out, and yes pictures would be kick ass

Can everyone who has finished their armor (adam, sean, link, etc) please take a picture of the inside of their armor?

I need to attach mine as well and don't have enough material or money to just add 3000 straps just to keep the legs on.

Thanks

Im not sure then...The site only has the belt and pouches avalable..nothing on leg strappings..

 

[mark]

well heres an idea put the belt/strap on the armor and the clip or whatever the belt goes to, to complete the loop on the pant leg

 

[BenStreeper]

jo-anns fabric is where I get my straps and clips. They seel if buy the ft. so you can go nuts

 

[Agent Orange]

lol, i get where to buy the material, i just don't know how to attach it with minimal show

 

[Damien]

well there is clips snaps elastic and magnets. you can do whatever you want to keep it on


EDIT: Westerfield has a strap kit http://www.westerfieldstudios.com/halotee.html

It's best to preplan how you're going to attach straping, if you've already finished te pieces, use some epoxy glue (or mix a small batch of resin) to attach it

 

[honest insanity]

I use a mix of Nylon Straps and Industrial Velcro. Riveting some of the Nylon (in some places) is a good idea but remember it does stick out! (can be fixed with some patience) However, if you do rivet your armor; depending on what its made of use the "umbrella?" end of the rivet on the inside and pad it with a layer of nylon or 2. This is to make sure you don't crack or break the armor

 

[joshua61991]

How would you put the straps on though? can someone show us the pictures of your armour strap areas?

 

[Macattack64]

Can I hot glue buttons to the inside of my armor?
