[Kandosii Tor]

Vest and kama look great!

[Thrig Skor]

Cheers mate. both were made By Aria 

[Thrig Skor]

alright holsters arrived here a better look at what i have so far

though still awaiting a proper girth belt to arrive. over the scarf im using for show atm

[Havelock]

Lookin' pretty spiffy, vod.  The flight suit arms and legs look kind of baggy, you'll want to take those in some.  You're definitely off to a great start, though.

[Thrig Skor]

been thinking colours lately what do people think of this colour scheme? the soft parts will all be the same as the old design just changed armour colour.

[Thrig Skor]

started the painting process still got some fixing up to do


alright so my boots arrived will these be acceptable as is or do i need to modify them? they are the same boots that the 501st approve for tie pilots

[Havelock]

Nice to see some paint on your bucket.   And those boots should work just fine. 

 

[Straka Zulu]

Pretty slick build,  so far, vod!
Really like the lighter colored plates, and that helmet is sweet.

I really Like this design, maybe the cape should put more detail of fights, such as holes or burns..
Anyway you armor looks terrific

Oscar

ok so some progress has been made and must kits should almost be finished.
buckets done:

soft parts almost finished just awaiting my girth belt and cape:




Gauntlets also arrived just gotta do some modifying:


and my armour plates are cut out and moulded just gotta paint and attach

[Havelock]

Nice to see you making progress, vod.  One concern, though; it appears that your pants and long-sleeved shirt are made of different materials.  Do you have a black short sleeve shirt made of the same material as your pants to wear over the long sleeves and under your flak vest?

[Thrig Skor]

I think it's the lighting and they way the boots and karma cover the pants because they are exactly the same colour and material

[Havelock]

Excellent.

[Dha'werd]

Great work and process, I really like the color scheme of the plates.

good luck vod

I agree with those above me. I really like the switch to a different plate color. Black on black really mutes a kit in my opinion and it is hard to make certain aspects pop and stand out to show off all of your hard work. Your kama is also looking great. However, not to slow this build train down or anything but have you mocked up how your plates are going to look size wise on your vest? I would hate for you to get so far along in your build with painting everything up and attaching it only to find out that it looks too large and you would have to cut them down. Toss a photo or 2 up on here so we can assist just in case. Keep it up!

thanks for the feed back. all good this builds already slow as it is lmfao.
 iv tried with the templates ect but i just cant get it anything to work for me so im going to get the soft parts all done then hope a armour party happens some what soon and get some help with the plates

also switched back to flight suit over thermals
and just waiting for the cape and girth belt to arrive (to replace the scarf)

[Straka Zulu]

Don't slouch! 

[Thrig Skor]

sorry for the lack of updates work has been full on these past few weeks.
but my weapons are finished. also my cape and girth belt have been made by Aria just waiting for them to arrive then my soft parts will be finished, so il upload pics once they are here.
and the Sandhawk's are having an armour party next month that im going to make sure i get to and il get the rest of my armour done as i am struggling to do it myself.
 

[Straka Zulu]

Those blasties and stabby are very pretty!   
 

[Thrig Skor]

got to leave work early today so got some stuff done on my kit

still got some tweeks to do but getting closer






do these look like they are the right size? they still need valcro attached so they arnt in place properly atm

[Fenn Beviin]

Everything is looking pretty good so far. I do have some slight bad news though. Your chest plates and collar plate are a tad bit too wide. I would suggest 1/4 to 1/2 inch off of the outer edges. After that it looks like you should be good to go

[Havelock]

Agreed.

Additionally, per the CRLs your ap plate needs to be half as tall as it is wide.  You'll need to trim the height of your ab plate a bit.

[Kandosii Tor]

The chest pieces are definitely a bit wide, and the inside "teeth" don't seem to fit around the chest diamond evenly...
