Mmm, Mmm! I love me a good kama! ;D Fantastic work, that pocket is smart! I feel a lot of the quality in a kit comes from the soft parts, and yours are definitely good :)

Found it L3roy! This is some of the best advice I've seen for forming female chest plates :)

I'd take the height from the chest plates myself. They look to have been stretched out a bit to fit over the breast fully. This seems to be a common change as it seems to be expected that the breast sits directly under the breast plate, which it actually doesn't if one keeps to the standard proportions. This leaves the ab plate sitting much lower than normal and you end up with girth, belt and cod all squished into a tiny space. The bottom of the centre of my breastplates (not the tabs which do extend further) are actually about in line with the centre of my breast and the top of my ab is overlapping the bottom edge of my breasts.

Thanks Serim :) my artistic background is all in textile arts and very informal sewing, so the soft parts are very fun for me. I do have my cape that I wore as well for a bit, but I didn't get any good pictures of it.

Haha thanks L3roy! They're my 1940s safety glasses. I found them at an antique store- they never fog, even when you're wearing a dust or particle mask- they stay on no matter what, and comfortable as all get out. I've never had a better pair.

Thanks everyone for the luck! After submitting, I did notice that one of the thighs is lower than the other- due to its placement on my belt. I'm going to put a new hole in the leather strapping  so it's a little higher- or if that doesn't work, I will put them on a different belt than the cod so they can be more easily adjusted on the fly. Which would make it 5 belts.....*sigh* is there a record I should be attempting to beat?

It's good to see a fellow merc taking care of the pretty flowers... ;)

Good luck!
Thanks! I've taken a week or so off between the test con and now to get my garden ready for the summer. I have a riduculously large garden this year and I'm taking full advantage of the space. I do love flowers- but my heart lies with my tomatoes.

Those chives are being well cared for. Great job!

I can't bear to chop them all down- I love the purple. Hope you're doing well- I've missed seeing your updates on your kit!
