I got nervous when I started scrolling this. When it was unpainted, your chest trauma plates looked a lot like my armor (in my avatar). Ha!

It all came together and looks original. Good job. I'd weather it a little though. You'll find that wearing it, washing soft parts, it'll start looking like some parts age faster than others. A weathered kit makes it all match and feel real, lived in. Everything in Star Wars is dirty.

How much does that shoulder armor restrict movement?

Weathering is definitely happening before I app.

As for the shoulders, none. Each shoulders is attached to the other via elastic so it move with my arm. I also don't have the vest wings so I have more movement range.

Started to weather the armour today. Looking for the just got off the battlefield look.







Also trying to embrace the "Let the armour tell the story" So most the the weathering is directed from one side to the other getting less and less as you go across the body. Need to add some carbon scoring to it tomorrow and a brown wash or two to add some needed grime.

Got the weathering done.
Time for a kit up soon, once I have repainted the gauntlets.

Not too shabby! The weathering really sells the heavy assault look.

Thank you. Need to add some proper carbon scoring, though I don't know a good method. I want to avoid clear coating because I like the armour rubbing and chipping paint.

Also, pre app/app shots have been taken, just waiting on them to be emailed to me so I can post them here (only thing I am concerned about is chest placement may be off)

I've heard that using charcoal dust is a good way, but I have had zero experience in using it.
I used a flat black acrylic paint,  and dry brushed it in.

Looking good! For your carbon scoring I used crushed black pastels brushed on. Then matt clear coat over the top. Just a suggestion with your boots add some boot armor as it will help tie the boots and the rest of the kit together and make them look less earthie. Torso plates Need  a tweak to straitened  up. But overall looks so good I'm jealous!

Boot armour is one of the upgrades planned after approval. It's required for heavy assault and I am planning a dual brigade heavy weapons/heavy assault.

Very nice! The only thing that stands out to me other than what Josh mentioned is that your left thigh is overlapping your shknee, or very nearly so. Looks like it's sitting a little lower than the right thigh, so that's probably the issue.

Yeah, will get that sorted.

Also had someone say one of the shoulders look a bit flat and it could do with weathering. And the Cape could do with a bit more work.

Thanks. Needs some alterations before I can get OM. Shoulder needs adjustments as shoulder armour cannot be used as bicep armour. On a technicality it is shoulder armour much like Roman Centurions, but that's a debate for once I finish everything else.

Need to make sure my gaters are not flaring out as much, and I want to add boot and toe armour so I can combine that.

Armour spacing and the ab plate needs adjustments.

Weathering on the off shoulder and gaunts.

The armour won't be OM for the upcoming event, but I can still wear it. Then I can finish the first round of upgrades.

I haven't scrolled back far enough to see how armor is attached, but you could benefit from a more precise method. I have Velcro along long edges and snaps on corners. The pic with your helmet off, pressing against the chest plate moves it so much. That shouldn't happen.

The back edges of the collar are "floating" up too. If you had a backplate attached to collar, that would be held down, but with just a cape, the cape needs to attach to the collar, you you need to anchor that back edge to the vest. Floating, unsecured armor just looks sloppy and You'll be adjusting it all the time.

Armour was on hold during a trip, and while waiting on bought pieces from TMA. Received those and now it's assembly time.









Back plate might need some heat forming, gauntlets I am not going to add hinges, just going to glue the outside pieces.

Toppers will be hot glued on, but that is so I can add electronics later.

If anyone can link to awesome display led tutorials that a real noob can follow along feel free to link them or PM me.
