Some TD's use hightemp hotglue for their harness straps, and while I was skeptical at first, I used it on my TK at the Rose Parade and the harness was solid (and is to this day). The cool thing is it's removable if you ever want to move the straps.

Plastic weld doesn't sound like a bad idea, although I'll pass on the hotglue, I've had bad experiences with it in the past. I would have posted thigh armour pics by now - only I lost my wok-o-doom - the wok I use to cook my sintra. I'll have more progress when I replace it at the weekend. (And once I've replaced it - you just KNOW I'm gonna find it anyway)

Its nearly completed armor that I will be putting together. All I need is the boots, weapons, jumpsuit, and gloves. Hopfully that is what I will be getting all for my armor aside from the fan system, pauldron, and speaker system,

Oh and the pistol! That said I was basing my costume of the original storm commando as presented in the GDW books.

These costumes always look better when there are a few identical ones. I have a couple of questions, forgive me if these have been asked and answered before. If the SC is mainly covered in armour, would underarmour, like Stormtroopers wear, be a better option than the slightly baggy flight suits worn by Biker Scouts? Would it allow the armour to be more form fitting? Would a Biker Scout belt set up work and help in securing the thigh armour? I haven't studied the refs as much as you, so sorry if I'm talking bull.
