I've really been putting in the hard yards with the chest and back piece lately. Up until today it was one piece and impossible to get onto the tape-dummy or onto my own body. I've been dreading this bit.

So today I installed some heavy plastic buckles on the inside, fibreglassed them in position then cut the pieces apart right on the join of the buckles.

1. Male buckle installed on the back piece at rib-level

2. Female buckle installed on chest piece at rib-level

3. Preparing for painting!

4 & 5. I also started on filling the hip pods with car-filler and finally started painting the chest and back.
