Looks like the flightsuit's a bit baggy.

Where are you seeing baggyness? It was brought in so much it's pretty tight, just wrinkly

Gretat paint job on the blasters, tho you might get dinged on the nerf. There is no moding on it, so it still looks like a nerf.

Yeah I'll probably ditch the nerf. I like the DE-10 much more anyway

Weather looks really good vod. Would it be possible to get some straight on shots? From those pics it looks like the an may need to be trimmed in a little.

Just found your thread! Nice progress so far. You said you trimmed the ab plate; do you have an current pictures of it on you to see if the spacing issue was corrected?

I've been waiting on my new flak vest to get here (should be in the next day or two) before taking more photos wearing my armor, but in the mean time I've weather the heck out of everything. Here's an update on my chest armor.



Tomorrow I'm going to my Ver'alor's house to get some sewing help with my kama and cape. I'm getting so close to preapp!

EDIT:

Of course right after I post an update the mailman rings and my flak vest is here haha. Can't get in it on my own (back zipper), but I'll definitely get a good pic with everything on tomorrow

Love the grit and grime on those plates, vod!  And the colors kinda remind me of the Shoretroopers.

Welp, I didn't end up getting a full armor fitting pic yesterday because things took longer than expected, but I do have some update pictures!

I spent all day with my wonderful Ver'alor yesterday and she helped me so much. We knocked out a kama and got everything spaced out much better. My Ruus'alor joined us via video chat for a little bit to weigh in on spacing as well and I got the go ahead to start velcro attachment.

Here's the kama



And some silly pictures with my chest plates attached (minus diamond). I'm officially the sandal mando haha.



And another silly one

A quick update. Worked more with my Ver'alor today and took the first in kit photo with everything I have so far. We had to beat the rain so the photos were taken pretty quickly. Everything from the waist up (except biceps) is attached and below the waist is taped for now. I still need to do MUCH more weathering on soft parts but I'm starting to get excited!





And here's an in progress gauntlet photo. Have to fill in a couple of spots still.

You're on your way vod! The spacing looks wonky for sure though. How do you have everything attached? If it's all permanently attached with snaps or bolts, then this will be your easier solution. Trim the plates where I have them marked. I'd say take about 1/8" of the ab where marked then shift it up about 1/4".  Take about 1/4"-3/8" off the collar where marked. And to keep from having to move your chest plates you may want to make a larger diamond. Otherwise you'll just need to move them in some. I know it's hard to have to go back and fix things, but it's better to know sooner than later. :)  Of course if it's attached with Velcro it's a much easier fix.



Also, just being OCD, your thighs are actually on the wrong thighs. lol Won't get you dinged, but it isn't how they were initially designed to wear.

Thanks for the help! It's all velcro attached. And yeah we had to attach pretty quick to beat the rain, but the plates were spaced better earlier today. Might also be partially because of an angle, as I was on a bit of a hill. In my previous post from a few days ago you can see how they were indoors the other day. As for the thighs, that's just how I personally like them  ;) More mobility

Oh, ok. Just didn't want you to get almost done and have a ton to fix. :) Be sure and post some new pics when you can so we can make sure of everything. :)  As far as the thighs go, my OCD is that I can't see something and not say something. In all reality though, I'm doing my thighs the same way. :laugh:  Just making sure we're all on the same page and that you weren't going for the traditional style of wearing them. lol
