Amazing painting! Love your battle damage and it's easy to see you put a lot of work into making your weathering look natural.  :like:

Probably going to be the last duct tape fitment test before I start actually working on my soft parts, this part is gonna be the most challenging since I have no sewing skills whatsoever.

Haven't decided what I'm going to use to attach my armor, but I'm starting to lean towards magnets.

Your paint and battle damage look freaking awesome, and the blasters are very well done. No new critiques; just work on that flight suit fitting, and make sure when you do your final attachment method that you anchor those chest plates and diamond well so that the bandolier doesn't pull them crooked like it is with them taped on. And, actually, I just opened your picture in a new tab and it looks like there's a pocket on the left bicep, which I'm pretty sure has to go or be covered up somehow.

If you've chosen against the expanded armored kama idea, I would personally recommend adding thigh plates. This is one hundred percent my own personal preference and has no bearing on approvability. I just think that shins without thighs (or vice versa) looks unbalanced.

Great work so far!

Thanks Vod will do! So question about the pockets, if I remove the zipper and sew it shut will that do or do I need to remove the entire pocket all together?

And yeah I had the same thought, the thighs look a little empty. I was thinking of adding thigh armor or possibly thigh holsters.

I think removing the zipper and sewing it down is enough. If you want, you can pop over to the Q&A board here and look to see if someone has asked that already, or take a closer up picture and use the form to pose the question yourself. The App Team usually has a three or so day turnaround on questions, although as I understand it they may be a little delayed due to all the stuff going on with covid. If you go to the Q&A board at the link I posted and use the search bar in the top right of the forum page, it'll just search that board rather than the whole forum. You could even just put 'pocket' and see what results come up from that.
