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.
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).

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.
That wasn't the annoying part. It was having one of the chicago screws strip while suiting up and having to dig around for replacement and put it in, etc....

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.
I noticed that, too. Great idea! Keeps the individual bolts from spinning when you are trying to thread the studs on. Mine always eventually came loose.
