Day 12

The accessories on the thighs are attached!

The ammo packs on the right thigh is riveted on. The knee guard on the left shin is glued on.

The shoulder bells being ready to get attached to the biceps via straps and snaps.

My snaps: Press Fasteners!

Buy this box once, and then like a dozen refill boxes! No, just kidding.... Buy 6 refills. 

That's approx. 70 snaps. You will enjoy having spares in case you mess up.

Again, I strongly suggest using this tutorial.

Day 11

Attaching elastic straps to the shoulder bells.

I used scrap pieces of ABS to secure them to the armor.

Biceps being glued and curing in a makeshift squeezing machine.

Day 8

I haven't done much lately but here are some pictures of the beginning of my strapping/snapping system.

The ab plates.

For the one side, I made a rivet-snap row to add some screen-accuracy. The rivets are completely decorative, the snap strip is held to the plate with E6000.

The back, front, abs and butt plates, with the suspenders.

Also be careful when making straps, the fasteners need to be facing the same direction.
