@Everyone Thanks!
@Karl They /are/ weathered but for some reason the black showed up really vibrant on the indoor photos. I'll see if I can't take some better pictures at another time.
@Bryn Yeah, I should be there. Been exhausted this week and don't know why but I'm almost done with the important bits. Still need my ammo belt and I can't decide on what I want to do for a neck seal.

Finally got it wearable and took it for a test run today. I have some preliminary app style pics to show it off. I need to weather the soft parts and add some more velcro to the bottom of the thigh plates. I need to trim my mando "thong" on the cod plate. While the shoulders feel fine while wearing, visually I think they should come up a few inches. Other than that, I just need to resume work on my blaster.

Love the kit overall. The Shoulder Bells (as mentioned above) seem really small, and they are not actually covering the shoulders at all, they are sagging down to cover the triceps. I would suggest a strap/strip of leather from the vest to anchor them up into place. As is you can see the whole shoulder joint exposed between the vest and the top of the shoulder plates.

Weathering on the soft parts to match the black wash on the armor would/is recommended.

I'm curious about the border on the gauntlets, they are the only pieces of armor with it and make it them look like they were soccer shin guards... if the border was removed it would make them mesh with the rest of the armor plates much better IMO.

At an armor party so the soft parts are currently being weathering. The border on the braces was actually made with apoxie sculpt. The bracers themselves are ABS plastic. I am simply taking inspiration from Rohlan Dyre's kit as he doesn't have borders on anything else either. I'll try to find and link and picture.

Here's that picture. Of course comics are always different based on artist but there's only a border in the bracers in my opinion. The shoulders look like they have an inlaid line around the edge to me. I should have new pictures by the end of the day.

The shoulders need to be moved up

New pics with shoulders moved up. Weathering is there on the flightsuit and soft parts.

much better!

Nice work Vod!  Fitz comments nailed the fixes I saw yesterday and moving the shoulders up helped a lot.

Posting the latest round of pictures for reference for my official app.
