The Birth of a Trooper - Chest and Back Webbing

With the top half of the armour complete, it was time to get started on the webbing. I've opted to use industrial-strength velcro connections for now as they're a little more forgiving than snap-plates when it comes to getting the fit right.

The first connection to be made was the strap connecting the chest, back, and shoulder bells together.



I've used a small pad of velcro to secure the shoulder straps to the back plate.


The finished product!
