Can't go wrong with Delta 13!
Indeed!

Got a bit of week done earlier this week! Thanks to Pk’hulz and Moru Pha, we were able to trim down my back plate to proper sizing! This picture is pre-trim on length. We trimmed it up on the shoulders and at the bottom.


Now that I have the belts, I was able to tell that i needed smaller cod plates. No biggie, I cut out some new ones last night. They just need shaping and paint once again; I plan on doing that on Monday :) I’ll likely have to trim the ab plate too but I had forgot it at home when I had my soft goods on lol

Finished up the headband; just needs some lights for the yellow bars and attaching! It, too, will get some blackwash at the end :)


(Pre painted trapezoid, just wanted to see how the colors looked together)

And last for my update, finished the gloves! They aren’t perfect but I think they’ll work! (Pardon my mix-matched outfit, it was cold and I wanted to be cozy lol)


My current to do list:
1. attach magnets to wig and headband (and trim lace with mirdala’s help)
2. lights in headband
3. thigh plates
4. shape and paint new cod plates
5. back plate and jetpack
6. reposition chest plates and ab plate
7. black wash to all armor
8 . attach boot armor

(I’m hoping to do 1-6 on Monday)

Small update!

My current to do list:
1. attach magnets to wig and headband (and trim lace with mirdala’s help) - Magnets made the headband stick to far from my head, going to try hair combs
2. lights in headband - Ruus bal’Neta helped me figure out what needs to be done, hopefully I can finish this up soon
3. thigh plates - sized down and filled in the seam, just need to create a return edge and boxes and attach to leggings
4. shape and paint new cod plates - shaped and painted, just need to weather and attach
5. back plate and jetpack - started painting both
6. reposition chest plates and ab plate - started this, just need to attach the ab plate
7. black wash to all armor - need to do still
8 . attach boot armor - need to do still

Here’s an awkward selfie lol. I may need to shape/add more Velcro to the collar plate but for now, I’m pretty happy with this. Planning on sewing the Velcro for the belly plate tonight :)

Thank you! :porg2:

Got the Velcro on the belly plate and the chest diamond (need to touch up the paint on, which I also started last night)! Might trim a little off of the bottom of the belly plate and maybe take the shirt/vest in a bit so it’s more form fitting. I tried to get the chest and shoulder plates as even as I could but given that I have scoliosis, it may not be perfectly even with other.

(Please ignore my face, messy hair and messy apartment lol)

I mean, now that you mention those three things I'm just ignoring the armor entirely...  :P

Thank you! :D Got a good amount of work done today while at Ruus and Mirdala’s house!


Not quite done, but this is so close! I need to paint the tan stripe around the top cone thingy still and maybe add another layer of the darker grey on the back behind the cones.


The cut-outs aren’t the prettiest but you won’t even see them once the jetpack is place. This just needs  bit of weathering.


Got the holster box on the right thigh plate; needs some sanding and the bottom added before paint. I also got the return edges started on the left thigh plate.

So... my current to do list is:
-finish painting/weathering jetpack
-finish thigh plates
-weather back plate
-lights and attach headband combs
-black wash all plates

Jetpack and back plate update!



I’ve trimmed the nylon straps since we took these pictures and added a bit of foam to the inside of the back plate to help with comfort. Just need to finish painting the jetpack now :)

Thighs are nearly done, no progress on those. I plan on trimming a bit off of my belly plate and collar plate after discussing it with Miix. And hopefully Ruus can help me with the lights for the headband tomorrow! I’m so close to being done - my goal is March 9 for our AP.

Thank you all!!

Some updates but no pictures yet! Jetpack and thigh plates are all painted and needing to be weathered. I trimmed the belly and collar plate as well and is needing a bit of weathering added back as well. Ruus helped me with the lights in the headband and it looks so cool!


(The only picture I took yesterday but it’s so pretty :<3:)

So what I have left is:
-weathering: jetpack, thigh plates, belly, and collar
-attach thigh straps to thigh plates
-move around Velcro on belly and collar plate areas
-attach boot armor (taking them to a cobbler tonight to have Velcro sewn on professionally)
-black wash all plates.

-black wash all plates.

Weathering is done! I have attached both thigh straps and did the Velcro for one thigh plate. Boots are at the cobbler getting the Velcro sewn on and will be ready for pick up tomorrow (technically today but I have a troop tonight).

I haven’t yet reattached the collar or belly plate yet due to running out of Velcro but that should be here by Friday so I can hopefully do all that Friday night. The black wash will take place on Saturday morning at our armor party.

I did a partial kit up last night just to see how things were looking :) I’m pretty pleased!


I also finished the headband. Huge shoutout to Ruus for helping me with the lights!


 I can wear the headband, wig and helmet all together but it’s a bit uncomfortable. I’m thinking that when I wear the wig and headband, I’ll likely just carry the helmet and put it on for pictures. For troops where we can’t have our helmets off, I’ll just wear the helmet (and get a balaclava) without wig and headband :)
