Yes, shaping is needed but will also help to put your shnees in place to see what it looks like for lining up with your knees with spacing.  Those should work well with your loin cloth.  With the picture it looks like they should sit a little lower on your legs, but won't be able to tell until you put your shnees on too.

Fair warning I like to take pictures and I've written a novel, so be prepared for both.

Got some better pics of lower half. Definately have to lower the right thigh plate. Still need to widen the base if the legs.

Did a virtual armor party today, actually had all my gear on (even though alot needs work)! Then totally forgot to take pics...

Advice given from party:
widen bottom of shnee
re-bend back, take out lumps on bottom,
      pull in shoulders
back needs to be shorter - overlaps girth belt
raise and shorten chest piece
shape chest after movement
mess with ab plate based on chest result -       
        remove or shape ab wings
attach shoulders so they move with arms
thigh plates molded better
adjust pants to be more fitted
Girth belt "tail" shortened
paint
weather

Sorry you weren't able to make it in person to the AP down there, glad that you were able to get some help virtually though.  With the adjustments needed for the back plate it might be advantageous to start with a new one cut to the right length than trying to bend/remove lumps and then trim.  Then once shaped correctly apply paint.

Not a bad idea. Although I'll have to get some more Sintra to do that and I have to remember where I got it...

I got some here you can have, remind me near the next AP and I'll send it home with someone.
