Still slowly plodding on. Got the basic start on gauntlets, still figuring out how to accessorize.

Also got first fit of chest armor with flight suit and flak vest. Alignment and stuff for armor still need work but had a productive weekend!

Good progress!

Spacing looks pretty good. Have you shaped your collar plate yet? Looks like it may need more shaping and also might need a little trimmed off of the outer edges by the shoulders.

Did some basic shaping on parts, but have to do more. Now that the vest and flight suit are done I'll be able to fit it better.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Shnees base formed, slowly plodding forward, but I think the large pieces are finally basically formed.

Had to rebuild my gauntlet base, original material I tried to use cracked so I went with thin walled PVC this time. Have a bit of sanding yet but basically back to where I was

[Momdalore]

Thinking about adding knee plates to my shnees. Adds more texture and a more distinct separation.

If I do, should Iake it taller or not?

Went to armor party and got following feedback on my armor to date.

Back is too wide, cut down between 1/4 and 1/2 inch on both sides.
Ab plate needs to be extended, possibly using something like an inverted triangle to maintain overall look
Back, collar and thighs need to be shaped

Also I need to finish gauntlets - mostly resizing to larger once gloves were worn and latches installed.
Add shaped knee plates to shenees to add clearer distinction between shin and knee and keep up appearance.

Flak vest also needs some adjusting

[Fenn Beviin]

Looks like you made some good progress!

Also - I agree. I think I like the added knee plates to the schnees.

Back plate narrowed down collar reformed. Still have to extend ab plate but got the girth belt started, the front spacing is more accurate in lower side

[Momdalore]

Extended ab plate based on recommendations from the armor party. Let me know what you think.

Great start!  Can't wait to see more.

Went to an armor party last weekend, here is a list of what my Ruusalor advised
attachment points on everything
widen bottom of shnee
repair flak vest
re-bend back, take out lumps we managed to put in on bottom, pull in shoulders
extend flack arms, use for velcro for shoulder
Girth belt "tail" shortened

Great to see you back at it!
