Vest Advice please

[The Fett Man 79]

Hi everyone, i'm a new comer to the dented helmet from the UK and was hoping for some advice, i'm currently in the early stages of my costume build and i'm about to start looking at attaching my chest armour to my flak but not quite sure how best to do this to achieve the best finishing look, obviously i want it to look well fitted with no gaps showing between armour and vest as well as being nice and secure at the same time.
Any help / advice would be well received.

Thanks guys

Hello there !
This thread may help you, its called : Attaching Armour : Tutorial by bobamaker
good luck

Lots of options for attaching these. You can browse other members build threads to see what they have done.
Options include:
Snap Fasteners
Velcro
Eyelets and Bolts
Jewelry Pins and Clutch Backs
Magnets
Gromets
Any combination of those can work as well
There is not really a right or wrong way to do it. For Level II 501st certification you have to use Gromet method.
Hope this helps.
Cheers and best of luck with your suit!!!

Great thanks for that thread, i'd thought about a press stud velcro combination but wanted to see what other options were out there, but that thread certainly helps thanks bud.

I'm all good pal
glad I could be of some help. I've been tinkering with gauntlets and doing finishing touches to the helmet that I started some time back. beyond that I've been rain dancing and found religion as I keep muttering "oh god its hot !"
I've posted updates to some of my threads if you want to have a gander ?
