I just want to give a brief description of how the Fem Trooper Armor assembles compared to other similar types of armor. The assembly is a mix of TK (stormtrooper), Movie Clone, Animated Clone and RMQ. Tools: Pencil, Carpenters knife, Belt Sander, Sandpaper, Dremel, Zap-A-Gap CA glue and Spray Kicker. (Wear gloves when using the CA glue) Lower Legs like RMQ (Glue in the front inner shin shim & clam-shell in the back) Thighs like my Animated Clone (with the side connection flanges on the back of half of the thighs for easy assembly) (A Connection Flange is where you can apply the glue and over lap the corresponding part to make a seamless look without having to cut each end to a but joint and use a separate strip of plastic and glue it on the inside between the two halves.) Mid section similar to a TK: Butt to Kidney - 4 black 2inch elastic straps glued the butt and kidney together. Ab to Kidney - Split Rivets with straps on the top & bottom left side & split rivet with strap top and bottom on the kidney with snaps on the right side ) No crotch strap! Chest & Back (under the arms is like a move clone held closed with velcro and top bottom slightly rounder corners) Upper shoulder straps like TK glued to the front chest and hang over the back. Black strap inside with snaps holding them together. Shoulder bells held on like TK Biceps assemble like Movie Clone (the cut ends but together and use an extra strip of plastic on the inside to glue the two halves together, to make it look seamless all the way around. Forearms- The outside wide simi-flat edge, over laps and glues together. (Over lap the inside over the out side so that the cut edge is less noticeable. Mirror this for each arm. The inner seam need to assemble like the Movie Clone with a but seam to look seamless with an extra strip of plastic glued on the inside. Main belt is vac-formed- belt box connectors are screwed to main belt and belt boxes are then glued onto the connectors. T/D is bolted to the Kidney just above the belt boxes. Large side boxes are held on with bent metal clips and hang over the cut seam on the sides of the Vac-formed main belt. Knees - 1inch white elastic is glued to the inside of the thighs, a slit is cut into the thighs, the elastic is pulled through and snaps to the inside of the knees. 4 side knee strap coves are glued over the cut slit at an angle allowing the white elastic to hang out from the larger flat area.
