WIP oota goota OGA stormtrooper build

[MattG]

Hmm, shoulder straps sitting too high, any suggestions?

Quite hard to tell what it's hanging up on, from those photos. How is it rigged...what do you have the chest/back pieces strapped to (if anything)?

At the moment the chest is rigged to the back plate and the shoulders using the traditional strap and snap method.
I still need to add a strap to the abdomen to keep the front of the chest down. I may need to recurve the straps,

if you lengthen the straps between chest and back would that help? Overall the suit's looking really good, maybe some careful heat bending?

Perhaps a few pics without the helmet so we can see what's going on under the bucket

Here's my OGA ON the mannequin I just resized to my height. I can see I need to shorten the shoulder tabs on the chest and back. I also need to put a bevel back into the bottom of the chest ( not quite sure how to do that). The elastic I purchased at spotlight has proved to be next to useless and has stretched ( while just sitting idle) and will all need to be replaced. I will also cut the cod and curve it a bit.
