Finally got some time off.

Unboxed the armour today all trimmed and ready to assemble.

secondly these also arrived this morning..

I Know these aren't the original but they are dam close. The right glove needs some work so am taking them to a leather guy to get repaired. Then I get to convert them.

The gloves look good. They were not all the same either. I personally think the slight bend in the fingers makes it more believable as a robot than the straight fingers.

Question Guys,

Looking at detailed images of the rear of the back pack am I correct in saying once its assembled they used chrome tape around the edges to conceal the seams?
