I was wondering if any one had any pictures of how they attached there back plates to the neck armor ?

That neck piece itself is metal but my back plate is fiberglass i wanted to see some pictures of fellow fetts and how they attached there armor together.
 
If they overlap use Industrial strength velcro. But even if they dont the velcro can still hold them together.

If you use screws for the shoulder studs just make it as short as possible so the 2 halves of the velcro still meet.
 
The collar and the back plate is hold together with screws: the screw is inserted from the inside of the back plate through the collar then holded together with the shoulder studs (the same method is used with the cod piece and the back belt).

Rafalfett is there a way this can be done but with a quicker release and attach method?

This technique though accurate will be very difficult when suiting up for a troop..

There is another method used with the stunt armor, it's some kind of a hook but I don't know how is connected to the collar plate.

If you are not looking for totally screen accurate in terms of attachment method, but only in the finished look, this is the easiest way to do it (and what I did for my ESB Fett this time around):

Attach the collar studs only to the collar -- going ahead and attaching the cape and leaving it on the collar armor all the time -- and then mount to the backplate with Velcro. Looks exactly the same, but means I no longer need assistance screwing in the studs every time I suit up. (y)

The knee pad should stay on the knee starting from the upper part of the patella. See the image below of the Pre-Pro #3.

I'm actually on this part of my build right now and am I missing something but isn't the cape supposed to be on that outer stud?
 
i have aluminum shoulder studs with a threaded hole on the bottom. i drilled matching holes in the neck and back plate and run a screw up through them that the stud screws on to.
