Greetings, vode!

My shins are nearing completion... all they need now are attachments.

I was reading through the requirements for applying to become official and in the mention of straps, there was nothing about strap use on shin armor.  That was my intent; to strap them around my legs.  Is that allowed?

How do most of you Mandos attach your shins?  Photos would be extremely helpful in this case!

Thank you in advance!

You can have straps show as long as they are the same color as your flightsuit, but the Jango method looks much much better. Here's how:

This is just what I was looking for!  Thanks so much, vod!

You can also have straps showing in a contrast color as long as it's an in-universe material, such as nylon webbing or leather, not elastic.  If it's elastic, it has to be inside the flightsuit or otherwise completely hidden.

"Same color as flightsuit" applies to elastic straps on knees only.

That's sorta-kinda what I thought... which was basically the impetus behind this thread.

Thanks for chiming in, vod!
