Around the back venting/keyslot area. Find something straight and use that to find edges. I have an old wooden ruler I use, press it against the edge and then I just sharpie bits that need sanding down and other bits that need filling.

This is my current project. I think I'm onto sanding round six? or so. I went over it with my fingertips and circled any bits I need to sand/fill. And the lines are where I've had to correct some wavy bits. Especially the back which I somehow got slanted...




I don't fully paint my helmets till very late on. Usually just a primer coat, then sand it. Primer gets caught in indents and left behind so you know where to fill.

This is definitely coming along nicely.  Looking forward to seeing all that sanded and repainted.  And don't forget to weather your new girth belt - which is a really nice addition, by the way - to match the weathering on your armor.

Just as a general practice, any time you use spot putty, apoxie sculpt, bondo, whatever, on your bucket or armor, you want to sand it down to make sure it's smooth.  And your belts or whatever else that sit atop your girth belt aren't going to ride in the same place every time the whole time you're in kit.  For myself, I just weathered my whole girth belt, front and back.  Seemed easier that way than trying to weather just parts of it.

With the sanding, It is smooth, I'll get pics up later, and the girth belt, what I am talking about is that I am planning on attaching it to the inside of my ab plate with velcro, so I am waiting to finish that, not topical on the spots the belts are.

To sneakily keep your girth in place, snaps or velcro to either the bottom of the vest or to the flightsuit is the usual method. Your ab will be attached to the vest, so there's no way to attach to the ab without sitting the girth under the vest since the ab must be fully on the vest.
Bucket is definitely looking smoother.

Apologies, I should have been clearer. The ab must be on the vest - ie the vest cannot end short of the plates, that includes having the sash/girth too high and covering the bottom of the vest and under or overlapping the ab.

Ohhh. so attach the girth to the flightsuit, leave the flak vest to move, sorta making it more obvious that it is a vest, not part of the flightsuit?

The wraps aren’t gonna cut it Vod, simply wrapping stuff around an Unmodified nerf to mask its silhouette gets ding’d more than a bell during Christmas.

I must say, seeing your progression from the beginning to now, it's come a long way. The helmet has certainly gotten better, as have certain aspects as well. As Bow said, the wraps tend to sometimes drop quality more than the blaster itself, depending on execution. If wraps are something you would truly want to do with your blaster as an added aesthetic, I suggest you take to google and get some references for ideas! Many wraps are done tight around areas that are normally gripped, carried, or need to be camouflaged, and these areas can usually be wrapped like bandages. I look forward to seeing where you go forward from this. Glad to see you're responding positively to feedback vod, we try to make critiques as constructive as possible!

after removing the wraps, I realized that the rifle was less clean in its shape than I thought, so it will not be part of my kit.

Not sure if I'm not seeing correctly, but do you have a vest with your soft parts? If not, one will be required for approval.
