Hey everyone this is my mando mk 2 I made just sent it to get approved. And hopefully my first kit that my bro Cody (cdawwwg) gets in to. What you guys think?

Awesome work! Can't wait to see it in person this fall!
Also, nice pouches! wonder where a fellow might get those? :D
-
Thanks man I hope it gets approved and that my other one gets approved to. Hopefully they can start a clan here! And thanks again for the pouches they completed the kit!

Linking your pics here so others can have a look 8) Some people here don't like chasing links :rolleyes: (for future reference, you just need to copy the [ IMG] tag and paste that here)

As for my comments on the kit, it looks great, but I have a feeling you'll have to reapply after a few fixes.
-Shoulder plates appear to sit a little too far back (that may just be an "IMO" thing)
-Chestplates spacing/positioning could use a little tweaking. Does the Ab plate come down to your belly button? There's a lot of space between your ab plate and belt which could cause your app to be kicked back.
-Carbon Fiber may be deemed to "earthly". I really hope not, because it looks great, but there's a chance.
-The lighting also makes it a little difficult to see the one side of you. You may be asked to retake pictures.
Otherwise, the weathering looks good, weapons are cool, leg wraps are awesome, and overall I like it! :D
-
Thanks a lot this was my first post and I wasn't sure how to do the pictures. And for the armour, the ab plate does got to my belly button and ya I wasn't wearing the belt properly. Hopefully I'll still get approved I'll take better pics then and I hope the carbon fibre is ok I really like it so fingers crossed!
-
Good luck, man! I've heard sometimes they request some additional pictures to clarify things, rather than making you resubmit completely, but I've heard that kinda second hand so I can't prove anything :P
It'll be sweet to have another OM here in Vancouver! Keep an eye on the BC boards, there's an Armour Party coming up possibly ;)

that is true, the app team does occasionally ask for specific area clarification pics.
-
Oh... a mando who comes with a built-in garotte. insurance against turning your back to an enemy left they choke you with your own scarf? :p :laugh:
Looks good.
-
Your backplate idea is really great. I love the double blades, vod. Great job!
-
wow, this looks really good. :o you've got an eye for detail sir, the whole thing just looks top notch. I can see a few *minor tweaks* that you might need before submitting, but you've done an excellent job. jedi better beware with you on the hunt ;)
Your shoulders should come forward a bit, they're hard to see in the front picture.
Your Knees are touching the shins, bring those up a bit, might want to add a little patch of velcro to the knee to help them sit where they're supposed to(knees are a tricky bugger. I got dinged on my first app submission for the same thing, learn from my mistake! lol)
I can't tell if you have a groin plate or not. if you want a soft covering, ie loin cloth, you need a little more coverage there
***side bar, if you intend to go for the force hunter brigade(which is optional but appears the direction you're leaning) you will need a hard cod plate.
slide the belt rig up to cover that gap between ab plate and belt.
those shouldn't take more than maybe a day of tweaking. seriously nice kit though :)
-
thanks and ya i submitted and they told me i had a few things to move around a fix up and i just resubmitted today so i got my fingers crossed.
-
Cool. Did they point out anything that wasn't pointed out in here? How did dawwwg's app go?
-
Mine got dinged too, some minor adjustments on the helmet and a fix on the placement of my ab plates. But other than that re app should be simple. Can't wait to join the crew!
-
Sweet. If either of you want eyes on before you resubmit, post them here and we'll pick them apart :P
Curious, was the carbon fiber an issue? I would expect them to say it was too "earthy"
-
No the carbon fibre wasn't an issue thank god lol it's one of my favourite parts and it was just adjusting the chest plates abit and tightening the vest

Ugh still not sure how to post pics :(
-
to post pics from photobucket, just copy the IMG link they provide. glad to hear it was an easy fix!
-
Got you covered again, vod! ;) I'm assuming you're doing it through a mobile app? Look around and try to find the share links options. There'll be an email and IM option, direct, HTML, and one called [ IMG]. When you click/tap on the [ IMG] it'll copy the link that makes the picture show up in your post.

Awesome thanks everyone! You guys think this will pass now
-
Hard to say. I could say the chest plates are still off, but it's something that is easier to fix in person than try to explain, and may not be enough to warrant another set of app pics. I am surprised the shoulders weren't mentioned though, as Serim pointed out. But again, that would be an easy fix if it came to that. Looking forward to meeting up with you soon.

with the chest plates, the outline is in black, so the plates look a little smaller than they are, that may be why they look "off" in person they look much more normal sized and positioned
-
Ok well I sent them in and I'll wait and see if they let me in if not I'll bring it to the armour party and we can get them all ready and retake pics.
-
Good luck!
-
are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?
-
Still waiting on a reply. Oh when's the armour making party?
-
Next Sunday [not tomorrow] noon-ish till whenever. We usually break it up around 5, but depends on what's going on. PM me for details if you [both?] want to come out.

Thanks I'm so happy to be part of this now. Now all I got to do is help Cody get his ready and you'll have two more people for the vancouver clan
-

-
Cody my friend I applied with we just got to fix up the helmet and do a minor tweak or two
-
Great. Now we have a Cory and a Cody. Because I wasn't bad enough with names before LOL glad to hear he is an easy fix. Let me know if you need anything
