Needed a break from painting so started assembling what I've completed so far.


Started with assembling locking pins in nylon and gluing to the armor pieces with E6000

Then assembled all the chest pieces to the flack vest.

Similar approach for the Boba thong only I used a T-Nut and Screw combination to assemble a cheap nylon/velcro belt to the kidney plate.

Lastly I did a test fit of everything with the flight suit.   I had used magnet for the back plate and quickly learned I needed to upgrade to a more powerful magnet to get them to attach properly.   Replaced those magnets and am waiting for them to fully dry before doing another test fit.  I'm thinking everything seems to be set up OK.   Thoughts?

From this picture I am also quickly realizing I must have a super short neck.  :p   Lots of work to still do on the flight suit itself.  Weathering, fill the pockets, etc.  I also need to order a chest display.  Any recommended vendors out there?
