Armor Crafting - The Strap/Snap System

Originally designed to make sure all limbs are not connected to the chest/stomach pieces. In the original manual, the thighs are connected to the stomach armor (making it heavy) and the arms are lose because its attached to nothing. Now with my custom made strap/snap system .. i can buckle/snap armor pieces onto my vest.

Why? That way, i can wear my body armor like an overall shirt! giving me more mobility! No figma comics from me this week, not until i finish my final assignment in <2 days TwT

Danny Choo's Tokyo Dancing Trooper motivates me to make my armor as mobile as possible. But not mobile enough to run away if i got chased by Aussie dingos or the Tasmanian Devil =3

Designed to adjust the height/length of my thigh armor pieces

Still needs some armor patching up with elastic straps. Already tested, flexibility by doing ..

and .. MOE MOE KYUN BEAM-MU~~!!

Nice, how much did that armor cost you? I'm looking to get me some armor and parade around my shopping malls and any cons around here

Wow, with all these strap harness, you're good to dance all out ^_^
Mine are basically all velcro secured.

  Yeah, when I was designing it, felt like I was designing an iron-man suit!

  Researched how to assemble one from the 501st. Researched how to make it flexible by watching videos and looking at as many pics of Danny as the Tokyo dancing trooper!

        there are 3 now. well .. in one of the squads. TAG is made of a few squads. >_< U should have listened to them talking about applying boob size to the chest armor.
