Hi Keith , i normally go 5 strip's up to the end

[SW1]

5 narrow strips that is

[LadyInWhite[TK]]

the big one in front and 5 little tabs (maybe 4 if you're building armor for a smallish person, so it doesn't come down too far in front)

i ended up going 1 big and 4 small as i was finding it hard to keep the hole thing flat. the bottom of the strip was resting on the edge of the part were the chest curves off to the side. if you know what i mean.

I just wanted to say three cheers for that gif!

cannon distance is large tab and 5 ribs up to the top.

 

change for short or thick chested builds.

I went big...5 small.

me too, one big five small.

I am just about to glue mine, I also asked the question and it seemed most went of the 1 large tab and 5 small. Doesn't sit quite right on ATA armor so I may need a little bit of heat

[troopermaster]

I go for 1x large and 5x small ribs (taller troopers can leave less small ribs). You should really trim the border completely away on the front end of the strap. This allows it to contour better to the shape of the chest when you clamp and glue it in place.
