Yes, Mi'ix, I'm aware of all that you've pointed out. The simple fact is that I have yet to get to those parts. But I DO have the other pieces and parts for the knees, I will be making the cutout and trimming the back plate, I still need to cut the rectangle on the diamond (since I lost my original), and the cod is the right size, plus, I have the loop piece. Nothing to worry about. Not yet, anyway.

The gist is that I bought the backplate, and it doesn't come with the cutout. I bought the cod from the same seller, and I gave him my measurements for both plates, so they fit me. I also ordered another diamond with the rectangle cutout BUT I won't know if it's the right size till I get it. I got the loop piece from our very own Noevex. And I cut out all the parts for the knees based on the online templates, I just haven't attached them all because it'll be easier to sand and smooth them when they're not all one piece.

Minor progress worth sharing:

Rub'n Buff!

Finished priming the back plate, so it was finally time to try rub'n buffing. Two friends who are experts at it, and one of which is an approved Jango, said it looks great, but we'll see...

First coat:







Second coat:













So, any issues?

Sorry for the delay, but now it's time for updates!

Starting with the beautiful parts and accessories I received from OriKad.

My NME jetpack, all finished:





















WESTAR-34s:

















Earcaps and rangefinder stalk:







Ammo belt:











Holsters:











And now, for what I did.

Preliminary suit up with the jetpack and back plate, to test them:









And more rub'n buff!

Cod:









Thigh plates:







Shoulder plates:







Collar plate (which I know might need to be replaced):







Gauntlets:

























Gauntlet parts:







(this one below needs work, I know)











Shin plates:







So, vode, if ANYTHING, and I mean anything, needs work, PLEASE tell me.

And please excuse the large amount of photos. Wanted to make sure all the details were visible, especially for criticism.

That's all, folks. Thank you!   :jango:

The rub n' buff looks really evenly done, minus the few parts you've already mentioned. 

Jetpack looks good, just don't forget the four Phillips head style screws in the bottom vent of the pack.

Gotcha. Everything else is good? No need to make any changes aside from weathering the plates?

Aside from seeing how it sits when you wear it, it looks like Jango armor!  :jango:

Yes everything looks awesome! Love the progress. You are planning on putting your harness under your flak vest correct?  And will you be able to use that piece for the cod plate I made for you?

Yes. As I said, that suit up was preliminary; just testing the back plate and jetpack, really. It was simply easier to put the harness on over the vest.

And yes, I'll be using that piece. If you look, you can see the beginnings of the screw holes for where it will go. We simply forgot about that piece in the hustle and bustle of everything.

Thanks, ner vod! Glad to get feedback from another Jango.  :jango:

Finally, some real progress!

If no one has anything to say about them, I think I can safely call these done.

The girth belt needs a new loop since the other one didn't fit, but that's an easy fix. And heads up, it has a bit of give to tuck the cod under; other than that, it fits perfectly.












Flight suit close-ups:

(Indoor artificial light)








(Indoor natural light)










(Outdoor natural light)










(and a few extras taken several weeks ago just in case)



(indoor natural light)



(indoor artificial light & possible camera flash)



(outdoor natural light)

The suit looks a tad more pink in person, but that's also an easy fix if anyone thinks it needs more blue.

Minor progress:









Visor/mandible area on the helmet is pretty much good to go. Gonna fix the seam and add another coat of rub'n buff, and I need to get the cheeks down to a matte texture.



Added the screws to the exhaust port, though a little bit of the surface cracked. Just gonna add some bondo and paint, and the jetpack should, at long last, be done.











Knees are coming along, and finally close to rub'n buffing, BUT, if worst comes to worst, I will resin cast them, or buy a set. Depends on what you experts think.

Shape of the knees looks pretty good, but I'm seeing some pitting at the tops and sides of the knee that needs to be filled and smoothed. 

The rub n' buff looks like it took very nicely to the helmet, but I'm seeing some cracks along the seam line of the dome that will need to be repaired. 

Colors look pretty good too, but the tape lines along the cheeks need some attention as it looks like there was some tape pull.

Not much in the way of progress, and bad quality photos, I know, but I figure it's still worth showing. Finally finished the knees. Now I just need to know if these will pass muster, or if I should buy a set and use these for a different kit. If they're okay, then on to weathering. If you need close-ups or better quality pics, PLEASE tell me, and I'll take more.

Unfortunately, not much to show, but at least I've finally got the chest plates shaped. We decided not to do anything else to them now in case they need adjustments.



So, just to list what still needs to be done:

- Boot and chest plates need to be sanded, primed, and rub'n'buffed
- Waiting on my new helmet
- ALL the armor needs to be weathered and attached to the soft parts
- Flight suit needs a bit of color adjustment and button holes added to the legs
- Flak vest needs slits for jetpack straps to feed through, as well as fixed shoulder flaps
- Boots need snaps and weathering
- Knee armor needs the darts secured in place
- Gauntlets need to be hinged and have greeblies and weapons added
- Jetpack needs vent re-attached


All in all, I'm feeling a lot better about getting this done in time. Not as much left to do or worry about as I thought.

Looks like you’re on the right track. The chest sizing looks good. Don’t forget the two rectangle parts on the left chest plate and the rounded edges and you should be good!

My Canon kit knowledge is very limited, but these look good so far.  Looking forward to seeing more.
