Hellooo. I have not started a topic or posted in my old ones in a very long time, thanks to Photobucket, as well as, taking an extended break from my kit. But I'm excited to be back and working on things. I've since acquired some ABS sheets and cut out some plates.

And since it's been such a long time, here's my helmet, which has been done for a couple years now.

I began planning in 2014 so as you can guess, I'm quite ready to finish this up and get official. I suppose I should make a checklist.
Flightsuit
Flak vest
Ammo belt
Girth belt
Boots
Half chaps
Helmet
Armor
Blaster pistol
Loin cloth
Gloves
Backplate
Holster
Gauntlets
Knee attachments
Blaster rifle
-Minor adjustments


Looking forward to getting back into things.

Those are all looking good.  I'm looking forward to seeing more, vod.  Welcome back.

[Bryn Cin'Prudii]

Watching with interest! Hope to see you at an armour party soon!

[Jal Korvo]

Well I broke my elbow so progress has been slow. I got some plates shaped but otherwise, I've been working on other parts. Got a new belt and buckle. Acquired, assembled, and painted a new sidearm, as well as binders. Hopefully be healed up before Summer's over. I wanna get this armor done before the end of the year.

[Jal Korvo]

Finally some progress! Just got my loin cloth. I love it. With the exception of a holster for my blaster, my belt setup is finished. Aside from that, just need to paint my shin armor and add attachments for shins, knees, and boot armor. That will complete my lower half. Closing in on getting this done and it feels great.

[Havelock]

This is all looking good, vod. Keep it up.

[Jal Korvo]

Hello! Progress!
Just need attachments on all this and to finish up some weathering and my lower half will be finished.


And here's the shoulder bells and glove armor.

[Jal Korvo]

Got a back plate shaped today thanks to help from Desago. Also finished up shaping torso armor and got outlines drawn on the vest for attachment. All other plates were cleared for size and spacing and are ready to be sanded and painted. I'll be working on a holster for my blaster soon and I'm just waiting on the gauntlets to arrive. Really getting close here and I'm super excited.

This color scheme looks amazing. Great weathering job, the pieces really look like dinged-up metal due to hard use.

[Jal Korvo]

Thanks so much vod! That's great to hear. I'm so excited to finish. Got even more done today. Velcro on the vest. Flight suit all tailored up. Plates ready for paint.

[Jennari]

You look awesome, ner vod.

[Dar'manda]

Loving where this kit is going vod!! Can't wait to see more progress

[Jal Korvo]

I feel like this may be the last post before pre-app pictures. Every piece of armor in my possession is finished. All that's left is taking care of lower armor attachments, making my holster, and my gauntlets, which should be shipping this week. Here's everything I have so far. Can't say enough how great this feels.

Your kits is looking great!
Keep an eye on your weathering though. From the last pic I don't see much weathering on your ab plate compared to the rest of your armor. Don't want you to get sent back from pre app for just that little thing   
Glad you are keeping up on your WIP,
You're almost there!!!!

[Jennari]

There are no words... Your kit looks uh-mazing! (Yes, I wrote it like that for emphasis  ) Very, very nice, vod! 

[Straka Zulu]

How have I missed this build?!  Kit looks really good!  Can't wait to see those killstripes. 

[Jal Korvo]

Hey thanks for the kind words, vode. Really close to finishing but wouldn't be surprised if it takes another chunk of time. Been kinda down lately and maybe needing a break.

Looking pretty good over all! This may have been mentioned already but with the amount of weathering on your plates you are going to need to even though out and add some matching weathering to those soft parts. 

[Jal Korvo]

Happy to report that I've ordered some new parts and progress should continue soon.
 

[Bryn Cin'Prudii]

Woo! Glad to hear you're gonna be back at it soon!

What kind of work do you think you have left?

Thanks vod, it's good to be back.
My biggest trouble has been gauntlets so that's the last piece left as far as armor. I finally ordered some from April Storm that should hopefully be a good fit. Aside from that, my holster needs finished, which will probably get done later this evening when I go to Desago's. We also have to adjust Velcro on my vest, and I've still gotta figure out straps/attachments for my knee armor. That should pretty much cover it. Then I have a frag grenade on order to add to my belt as well, but that won't take any time.

[Jal Korvo]

My holster is finally done! So excited. Big thanks to Desago for the assembly.

Shaping, staining, and finishing were done by me. 

[Kol Varek]

Welcome back Jal! Blaster and holster both look great!

[The Unknown Mando]

Nice work vod, that came out looking great

[Straka Zulu]

Coming along nicely,  vod! Been enjoying watching your progress, and it shouldn't be too much longer till you get your stripes!
