Love.  It.
Very well done, my friend.

Thank you Blackbird. Means a lot coming from you :D
 
Aside from a scope and rope (which I'm putting on my thigh now...) what am I missing for BM?

Why you no have left gauntlet missile? :O

Can't find my velcro D:

Not that you ever really looked bad but, have you by chance gone back and comared these pix with your version 1? You have done VERY well.

Falin. You have been my role model behind this entire build. And Blackbird was the role behind the theme. Both comments have made me a giddy man.

Now please, do you see any errors that would flag me down? I'm really trying to be perfect first time through so I can attend a parade.

Haha, I'm an aquatic Mando, I don't catch on fire!

I purposely made my vest grey to make the plates pop.

I see a few minor things that can really help sell the AquaMando aspect of it but, from a CRL aspect there is nothing of a glaring issue at all. teh only thing I would say is adjust the way the helmet rides or, get a taller photographer for the ide shots  8)

I do believe you've become part of my favorites list! 8)
Great job. I've got nothing for you this go around (CRL wise), you nailed it.

I'm gonna have to pull out some of my scrap leather and start trying to figure out how to create water/salt stains, because I think the addition of them to your leather parts would just be more icing on the cake.

Everything ~ within reason .
Concept ? ..... hmmmm ....  Not the Concept as much as your ability to Capture the Feel of Aquatic Armor......
I'm not saying that I doubted your Skills ....... I'm just sayin it's not easy for a First Kit . ;)

In your side shots, we can see your chin.  Balaclava will be your friend.  You hinted at hoses for your pack, I think.  You currently have odd holes in it, that seem to need either hoses or greebs to cover.  You may want to move your rear pouches, they look like they are trying to be part of your pack instead of separate pouches, maybe spread them out over your rear hipbones.

Looks very nice and you have just the right amount of moss weathering.

Dealt with the holes :D

The RF doesn't mess with the helmet AT ALL.







And mesh... I still need to trim excess.

Your kit looks amazing and I love the use of the algae. I was just at an antique/junk shop and found a log holder so similar to the one you made your thigh plates out of they may be the same, but I didn't think $20 was worth it when that's how much I'm paying for ALL of my sintra.

What did you make your backpack out of?

I totally agree with you on the $20 thing. I'm very cheap when it comes to my armor. I had a TON of sintra when I started, but I couldn't make the wrap around thighs with it to save my life.

And Back pack was a child's push toy. It also cost me $2.50.

Oh look, it's Barnacle Boy >_>...:P

Your helmet still seems to be sitting a little funny to me, but it's probably just that you aren't looking straight at the camera or standing up straight or something. Ah well, shouldn't be an issue. Also, the RF on the backpack looks weird to me, but again, not a CRL issue so if you like it, roll with it.
