Revan Rebuild....Sorry Rob....

[RevanRider]

Hey guys i forgot what strapping is best:

Is it Cross Braided or Straight Braided?  

 

width of 1" or 1" 1/4?

 

Of course Black, but i need to replace the tied threads and i need to replace the front belt straps with something more durable in the heat. The Summer tore it up... 

Is Vinyl or Leather ok? as long as it all matches right?

 

and where the hell can i find CA Glue? 

 

I got the MWA Set....so any recommendations appreciated.

The strapping shouldn't matter that much since it shouldn't be seen at all. The type and thickness depend on what you personally put it through in terms of required durability. The straps should be leatheresque, meaning so long as it looks like leather (and not hi gloss) then it only comes down to, again, durability and what hell you are going to be putting it through.

 

When I build my armor, I fashioned a harness out of 1.25" strapping in order to keep all the sections of the armor fitting nice and neat against me. It has the straps that go over the shoulders (though under the shirt), around the chest area, around the waist area, and around the hip area. This keeps the various sections from flaring out funky.

 

On the straps, I still use Rob's from my old MWA kit before I built mine since it's a good piece and I haven't had time to do my own, but if you are redoing straps, I would suggest using something meant to hold up to wear and tear like the faux leather upholstery stuff that thick and sturdy, as well as coming in several textures.

I would be really interested in learning more about this harness you made for your armor.

I'll try to get a photo this weekend!

I get my CA glue from the guys at Eternal Armory. But they are close by for me, so works out. Shipping might cost as much as the glue, though
