Here is my "finished' kit:

This is one week after submitting my application pics... you will notice a marked improvement:

Now I will focus on getting into the Technical Brigade, and then on "upgrades."

Love the color scheme, very sharp.

I like that vest too, did you make it yourself?

[Thaxos]

Excellent improvements, goes to show how you can never truly be done your Mando. Though I think most people wait at least a couple weeks after being approved before diving headfirst into more changes 

Have to ask, what's the thing hanging off your belt on your right, some sort of datapad? Would like to see some more pics of that.
Also, those dets you have on your belt look excellent!

It is a thigh keyboard/computer:

I did not make the vest. It was made by one of my clan members.

I am not happy with the kill marks... the paint I used kinda blobbed up and didn't hold to the stencil... they were supposed to be IG-88 heads... now they just look rather blah.  Will likely redo them soon.

Lookin' sharp! I like the quilted finish on the vest sleeves... (now that's kinda contradictory... guess that makes it a T-shirt rather than a vest?)  

And BTW, how did you go about weathering your flightsuit?

Cheers!

great!
I notice you switched belts for your app pics. Are you not going to wear the thermal dets? 'Cause those look slick.

If you read, you'll note that the app pics are old and he's showing off the improvements he's already made so far

I really like the vest and flightsuit used in this kit. Where did you get them?

Mostly used gray self-etching primer sprayed on to various degrees and randomness... then hit it with a little transparent black in areas.

Flightsuit is a Tactical 5.11 I ordered on closeout from LAPoliceGear.com.  Got it for $28, but I think they are out of their closeout surplus. Can order it direct from Tactical511.com but probably more expensive unless on clearance.

The vest was made by one of my clan members. I won't drop the name because I do not believe this person wants to be openly solicited for commissions at this time, but if I hear different, will let you know. The workmanship is great.

Here are some pics of the (partially) assembled kit with recent upgrades.

These show girth belt, gun belt, and ammo belt.

I have also raised the shoulder bells by about half and inch or so.

Great holsters! They really add a "gunslinger" feel to the kit...

What are they made of, vinyl? And is there a pattern somewhere for those?

Cheers!

No, they are made of leather. My first attempt at leatherworking, actually. I had to pretty much make them custom to the blasters, as having scopy doo-dads on both sides of the guns made them difficult to accomodate with a simpler holster design.

Here is the latest evolution of my kit... not quite a V2, just some final touches. Kit now includes the gray flightsuit and leather holsters/harnesses. Additional greeblies to the gauntlets. Fettronics light board added to the chest plate.

Two issues arose prior to photography: 1) the existing spats I had aren't working well with the new flightsuit, neither functionally nor aesthetically; and 2) the keypad I have for my right thigh snapped its strap, so it is missing from the pics. One final issue I am aware of is that the ammo belt is a little too short.. I need to rework it with another 3 inches or so of leather.


First the traditional poses:

And then some detail shots:

The additions look great, and really add a lot to the kit over all.

Well done
