Masked Rider mk 4 assembly thing

[CTK creations]

Hey guys, so after a long time of saving money i was finally able to purchase a set of Leslee's beautiful mk 4 armors. it arrived a bout a week ago and I've slowly been making progress. Ive looked into various threads on how to put it together but still thought that making my own would allow me to get advice as i go.

At the moment the only things that i am confused about on the suit is the strapping for the arms as they straps end on my shoulders but need to attach under my arms. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out with the best way to keep the arms up. I was planning on simply attaching the straps on the shoulders together using a third strap with two female ends, but I'm open to other ideas as i am very new to this stuff.

A few photos from a recent charity event i attended a few weeks ago, the helmet in the photos is not the one that came with the suit due to the fact that i managed to crack the paint on the helmet hours before my event lol. Its all fixed now. Not sue when ill get around to it but I'm plan on posting some photos soon on the inside of the suit and some explanations on how i put some of it together

The suit looks great on you! I'm curious as how you assembled too.

I decided to clip both arms to themselves. I used the two clips that were attached to the armpits of the strapping that came with the suit. This prevents the arms from sliding down at all and it's really simple. The fingers that came with the suit were a little too big for me so I decided to cut up a cheap pair of rubber ironman gloves from target using an exacto knife and I liked the result quite a bit

Thanks for posting the photos! I'm still working on assembling my Mark IV that I got from Masked Rider, and this gives me a better idea on how to strap the arms.

If you need any advice on something specific feel free to ask and I'll get a pic up with an explanation of how I did it.
