Well everyone, I think this may be my last update on my backplate. I do believe I am finished with this part of my suit.
I decided to use the rare earth magnets on my back plate and collar armor. The two pieces are screwed together with the shoulder bolts, and I slip the two pieces on over my head. Once on, the weight of the collar and backplate rests on my shoulders. The magnets are there just to hold the armor in position and hold the vest tight to the armor.
I also finished the weathering for my armor using the blackwash method that others have used. Black acrylic paint mixed with windshield washer fluid, and misted on the armor.
What do you think so far?
p.s. See my other thread for the front side, including my chest pieces.
