![]() I built the torso in three portions: chest, left upper arm, right upper arm. I've left 2 2" gaps of velcro between the belt and the culet (ass plate) so i can velcro weapons, gadgets, and grenades to the back of where the belt would be. I have an extremely small frame, so i only use about half of the belt section. ![]() The codpiece and belt have been built all as one piece. ![]() there's two 2"x4" velcro straps running down the front of my leg that i adhere the thighs to. I wrap it around my waist and it adheres to itself. it's fuzzy on one side, scratchy on the other. The belt and thighs are kept on using a double sided velcro belt i made using 3'x1" velcro. I plan on adding a second, smaller, piece of velcro to the back because at the moment the foot piece is too loose and rotates too much to my liking. the foot is held in place via velcro and moves independently of the steel toed boots i wear. at the bottom of the shin, there's a 1.5 inch gap between the foot and shin piece. the foam extends 3-4 inches into the shin, and an angle against my shin to create pressure and hold it in place without blocking blood flow. The knees are elevated from the shins using upholstery foam sealed with black plastidip, and are attached to the inside of the shin via hot glue. I wanted the rig to be as naturally fitting and loose as possible, so I constructed the knees down as one piece (that splits into multiple when not worn. The boots are connected entirely by friction.
