Thank you so much guys for all your lovely comments and feedback. You're all too nice around here 

Not much of an update but I re-weathered my left gauntlet and it looks so much better. I used a mixture of brown and black acrylic paint with rubbing alcohol to give it that dirty look.



Next up on my list are two things:
-Jump jet boot thrusts and a couple tweaks on the thigh plates. (More velcro and trauma plates  )

Now THAT looks properly grimy. Excellent work.

'Deed it does. Weathering is the most daunting task, since I like to make patterns. And that's not what you're supposed to do with weathering, so my kit will be pretty clean (besides, I'm a bit of a selective OCD person, so there's that).

But awesome work Aden!

First you skip leg day, now you keep your armor dirty! Shame on you! There must be some punishment for making so cool stuff! There should be limits you know!

I’m not actually sure it’s as cool as it looks... he should send it to us for.... testing, yeah, long term testing!

True. No good bounty hunter will be without some sort of liquid to consume, and a cup of caf is as good as any.

Very well. *Boxes up entire kit and sends it for long term testing.*  There is a possibility I'll be opening a store on the Supply forum. Just depends on the weather here  ]

Challenge excepted.  8)

Not a big update (no pics) but I have added more velcro to my pants. Thigh plates look so much better now. When the weather allows it I be back with work pics of the trauma plates for the thighs.

LOL. And yeah, weather. I just realized winter is coming. Which means no painting (both garages are part of the house, so no spray painting there) since it won't dry.  And I don't want to wait till next year! Mebbe it's time for the good old hairdryer...

Ok, a couple things that I see in general that will get kicked back in Brigade App.

First, you need a backplate. It's required for all professions. I know they're not your favorite, but maybe you could look into a segmented backplate for more comfort?
Secondly, I don't see a cod plate either. What you have right now would qualify as an armored loin cloth. If you want you can keep it and wear it over a cod, but you'll need a cod plate attached to the flightsuit for brigades.
Your flightsuit looks a little baggy under your knees and behind your shin plates.

Other then that, you're really close! Well done!!

Thank you Aria for the feedback! The segmented back plate idea will probably work for me. I'll see what I can do to fix the bagginess on the legs. As for the cod plate I'm working on some designs that will fit me better than my last cod plate. 
Thanks again!
