Update Time!
I haven't done much to be honest, but I'm really excited about what I have done as I tried a few things that I thought would work in theory but was anxious about them actually working, and then they worked really well!
So, I added slits and snaps in the top of the torso part so that the cape can be inserted into the torso armour and snap to the underside.



It worked really well, although I did have to reinforce the straps a bit because as you can see, that hole is pretty big and it didn't leave much in the way of structural integrity.
So, that's the first thing I did.
Then, I finally did some work with the fabric side of things, installing snaps into some short elastic straps to finish off the bicep pieces. I wasn't sure how to attach the biceps to the rest of it, but luckily I didn't have to. The elastic is just tight enough that they actually sit perfectly on my arms and don't need any other attachments.




You may have noticed that I haven't put up any photos of me actually wearing any of this stuff. It's just because I want to hold off on that until everything is finished and I can wear the whole suit painted and stuff, I just thought that would be more fun and would make for a better reveal haha.
If anyone wants to see these parts and how they look on a person I'm happy to oblige, I'm just excited about holding off until the whole suit can be worn together.
I'll take a photo of the torso with the cape attached though, coz I think it looks awesome and I wanna show it off haha.
Anyway, thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying the thread!
