armor is a bit close together.  The bottom of your ab plate should be just above your belly button.  That may aleviate some of your spacing issues

Size and shape looks good. Glad to hear you're replacing the vest, the zipper is too visible on that one. Ideally the zipper should be at the back and hidden by your backpl or backplateor cape, or the side with an extra flap hiding the zipper. A front zipper works best with like Legacy plates that completely cover the zipper.

So armour pieces are all done (minus the shins).

Thoughts?

I realise that I forgot to put on gloves.

Weapons are good, weathering looks nice and consistent. Things I see:

-Collar looks awful close to your chestplates. You may have to move the rest of it down, to get the spacing right.
-one shoulder is over your jacket; one is under. Easy fix.
-Girthbelt seems a bit droopy; may wanna tighten it up.

Not sure about this one, but typically when the cape/duster is worn in place of a backplate, it's with the understanding that there "is" one - that people can't tell that there isn't. I don't know how strictly they take that, so you may wanna get a second opinion, but I can see your shoulder blades.

As far as photography goes, the lighting is good; we can see details easily. Always tricky with a kit that's got black in it like yours :P.If your photographer tries to get the photo frame in as close as possible to you, or you crop it that way afterwards, it makes it easier on the App Team.

You're looking pretty close though, there can't be too much left to do!

You're pretty close and I agree with the things Kavryn posted.
Maybe as a suggestion, have a look at how wearing your belt with pouches over your duster looks.
I think it'l tie it all together a bit better, but that may be my personal taste.

I'm going to have push it down as everything is sitting to high and my Girth belt is way too low.

Actually any tighter and i wont be able to breathe but i got to move it up anyway. Good advise, thanks.

I had asked sometime ago and they said that rule applies to capes only but I'm definitely gonna ask.

That's doable but I'm also curious to see if u can wear the Girth belt above my ammo belt so it covers this section

So I'm going to add double shoulders to the armour and place it top of my shoulders.

I'll draw up a design shortly.

To do list.

Buy cutting wheels.

HI App team,

So I have posted in the pre app thread for the sandhawk clan (Ner Vode, ner mando aliit) and they have given me the following advise:

So items to change positions are the cod piece and belt.

What about the helmet?


And obviously anything else I might have missed.

OK.
Helmet is fine.
The belt needs to move up until it just covers the girth belt, maybe 5cm
Shoe plates need to cover the laces
I would greeblie up those gauntlets.

Carids got it in one 

I'd also adjust the boot plates so they are even.  I'd pull the flight suit over the tops of your boots as well just to help hide the lacing.

And move your shins down just a tad otherwise its starting to come up millhouse now.  :D

FRONT: main issue as per ner vode is the placement of the cod (using a makeshift black underwear) and also the ammo belt needs to be on top of the girth belt.



RIGHT:



BACK:



LEFT:

No pics but I tried the ammo belt over the duster and I liked it better, thanks.

Your torso armour is looking a little squished together. If you can raise the collar a little and drop the ab just a touch so they don't look to be overlapping. And drop the girth by the same so it overlaps the top of the cod plate rather than the ab.
Looking very nice though, and I definitely vote ammo belt over duster.
