bigtrev503 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi, all. Sorry for posting so much lately, but this has somehow turned into a super speed build! Anyway, my dritz snap tool came with four brass colored snaps. I have set these ones aside so tha ti could ask the forum whether the exposed snaps on the butt and side of kidney should be silver or brassy to match the split rivets. Any advice is good advice!

bjsavage7[TK] Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The butt snaps look more silver & the side one looks more brassy to me. Thats just my opinion though. Not sure thats 100% accurate. lol. Could be just the way mine turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrev503 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 With all this pestering, my suit is going to be FREAKISHLY accurate haha. THanks for that unexpected answer. Any reference images that support this theory? NOTE: I am going for ANH hero. Han's suit specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Here's some great pics in the photo reference section. Now that I see them, I think they look more silver all around. I think the suit pictured with the rivets is Luke's, but I'm not positive ---------- Edited December 23, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Silver. It's the single crotch split rivet that is brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 The ab->kidney split rivets are also mostly brass. There were variances between which rivets were used, but most are plain solid head brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrev503 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 So, to clarify, when I drill the two butt holes (hehe) and the right side kidney to ab hole for male snaps to be exposed, they should all three be silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Only the two butt snaps are silver. All others are brass. The ab and kidney rivets are even brass, painted white. Edit: I realize I wasn't very clear. By all others I was talking about the split rivets. All snaps are "silver", and all split rivets brass (unless of a variance yet to be identified).

bigtrev503 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I know the split rivets are brass but I wasn't sure about the male snap on the top right corner of the kidney plate. Silver or brass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 All snaps are silver. Gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrev503 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well, that's good to know! The snap tool came with four silver snaps and all the rest I have are brassy. I'll use the brassy ones all over the inside where no one can see and use three of the four silver ones for the butt and side. Thank you!
