That's a nice color scheme on that renegade helmet Vod. I haven't decided how I'm painting my renegade yet.

Put everything on last night. Tried a sleeveless variation then decided to go with full flightsuit. I always envisioned a very low tech rough wilderness kit with the legacy (layered) styled front torso. But I've been reading about late crusaders and I'm wondering if what I've put together fits better in that era. Please anyone reading give me your thoughts as I'd really appreciate them :)

Oh yeah and I know the shoulder plates are missing but I am currently  working on getting them designed and banged out to wear by next weekend. If it helps just imagine metal shoulders in place of the blue grey material on my shoulders in most of the pics. Also I am definately going with the full flightsuit after working it both ways. I feel like the sleeves help the suit flow better.

Did a practice run with the unfinished kit at Tulare Scifi con.  The left side of the fur kept falling off but other than that the armor trooped real well. It was tons of finally being able to sport some Mando armor with my kill striped wife Van'sa!!

Love the design of the shoulders! Do you mind if I use that idea, or one based off of it for future upgrades to my kit?

Not at all they are a variation of Ronan's (GoG) shoulders. Right now they are connected with tape but I will be using leather riveted to the metal  to keep them together.

Thank you! I like the leather idea. It will definitely give it a lot of character and look pretty awesome

Starting to come together. Although that chest plate looks like it could do with being closer to the body at both top and bottom edges. It looks to be sticking out a fair distance right now. The rest does look pretty much done though.

App team members from my future clan noticed the same thing  ;) problems fixed and app pics sent

Sash shortened, kama/loin backed with leather and chest piece readjusted.  I am really glad the chest was noted. I used two screws one on each side to mount but I didn't realize it had created a pivot point causing it to sit incorrectly.  I put it back into original position and mounted an additional screw to maintain it. Thanks everyone!! Should be final pics up tonight  ;D

Looks great, vod! One thing though, the leather bags and some of the pouches appear to be really clean looking as compared to the torn up kama and weathering on the armor. This might be what you're going for but I think that if some weathering was added to those, it would bring the kit a little bit more together. Just my opinion though. Great work!

App wise I think you're good now.
(I'd add not just the pouches to the weathering, but possibly put a rip or two in the sash too :P )

Now it's time for upgrades!!  First I'll dirty up the leg pouch as its the cleanest. The coin pouch is pretty thrashed and the satchel(purse) is actually pretty whooped too but that leg pouch needs to match  :D

Next I'll be going for a brigade and this is the first step.

As bad-shebs as that is, it definitely looks like a mistake waiting to happen  :laugh:  Try to remember not to lean back on a seat, lol

Nah I got a 14 gauge metal backplate between me and those teeth. The pic was just a mockup of the mounting system that will be under the armor  ;)
