Ah I just saw this post, to answer this question I met someone who got to wear one of the actual movie suits (Justin Harder -> Artist who drew the end credits for the DP movie) he was lucky enough to be the same height and build as Ryan Reynolds. Anyways, I asked him about it when I met him at a comic con in Houston and he said there was an internal harness which had screws in the back, as evidenced by the pictures.
Any way you could elaborate on how you made the swords/scabbard? I was hoping to possibly try my hand at making a lighter one, the set I purchased is made of wood and is attached to my suit by backpack style straps. Not as stream line as the movie suit., El_fett one of the few people who have a pretty damn accurate replica suit is planning on attaching the scabbard via industrial velcro. Not sure how well that's going to go if I'm being hoarded at the Cons again this year.
