Why are the shoulder straps so...

Post by ryth_ »

....god damn long?

When put in place where they look correct to original armors, it's way to long for you to get the chest and backplate clamped together. There will be a huge gap back, or both pieces will be so far down it will only look stupid.

You'll have to attach the straps / octagons quite far in front, borderlining not looking good at all.

So, why are they made so long? Do most of you cut into the rubberstraps from Targ?

Received clarification, you can cut the straps to fit. :)
