Well after a long struggle I managed to get the side “straps” on the chest piece done, well the first of three layers at any rate. the strips were heated one at a time for several minuets then once soft were bent into shape and quickly glued down with Plastic-Weld glue, I used this particular glue as it dries very quickly and gives a strong bond, the moved on to the next strip until all four were glued into place.
well as you can see after a bit of sanding to get them to be lined up perfectly and keep the shape tight it has come off ok, now the next stage is too add the next 2 layers and cut the side “straps” to length, the repeat this for the next two chest pieces
, then I can begin on the front parts of them. more progress and posts soon I hope
