finaly starting my armour

Your sticky velcro won't stick to the sintra? Hmm...thats wierd.

Have you tried hot gluing it? If that doesn't work, try some plastic epoxy also if hot glue won't work.
 
just to clarify...its just the gut plate it wont stick to...the chest peices and bells are soll#id and firm...the velcro doesnt budge...but there is damage to the back of the gut plate which prevents the velcro from taking hold....damn second had sintra off cuts lol...cheap though lol
 
Hi Setra, Hot glue is good, but its not the best to use. Have you thought of using Araldite - Epoxy Adhesives. They are 2 part chemicals. They will hold almost anything together.... just remember to get it right first time... cos it's a hard job to part after its stuck
 
ok so its update time...i have had a test fit today and have repainted the armour plates, it went together pretty well...anyway i am going to dye the flight suit black...but here it is:-

I'd recommend a fitted vest if you can, instead of the t-shirt. It makes the armour sit better and stops any unwanted movement of the plates. Aside from that it's looking great.
 
Another idea would be to buy a couple Tshirts that fits perfectly on you...not snug or lose. Then sew them together with some backing between them and that should give you a decent thickness without costing more then a McDonald's value meal.
 
cheers guys....yeah the armour isnt secured there its just taped...and today work begins on V.3 of my neck plate luckilly enough i have now got enough materials to make another suit of armour...so i can do as many neck plates as it takes to get it right!
 
wow this hasnt bin updated in a while...heres mine as it stands now:-
