It's simple really.
Go back to post #34 and look at those pics. Do you see the groove in the shoulder of the chest piece? And do you see the retangular piece of foam that's set down into that groove? That's where the shoulder is connected.
I cut a small piece of foam the same width as the groove, put a strip of velcro in the groove, and another strip on the underside of that small piece. The strip of velcro attached to the little foam piece extends out and is glued to the underside of the shoulder bell.
So i basically connected the shoulder bell to the little retangular piece with a strip of velcro on the underside, then i just stick it into the the groove on the chest. Done. The shoulder doesnt flex or bend since it's only attached at that one point, it just moves like a flap if i raise my arm.
Thanks to everyone for the compliments. I'm hoping to hit it hard this weekend, getting the codpiece done and starting on the legs.
