Not familiar with armor smith, but I値l have to look at it.

I have a custom backplate which蓉nfortunately幼ame apart where I bound it. I may simply recover that and cut it to size. Though, my current test is just a 12 in square plate on my back that is shaped to size. Only problem is trying to take a photo to get it reviewed, since it is not attached.

Alrighty, pretty decent update,

I have begun painting some of my armor pieces. Few are still needing detail work, but the big picture is apparent.






Helmet is not done, but I have a concept I really want to go with.

This is looking amazing, great progress!

I'm trying to get this in before I have to leave for work, so sorry if this was covered and I missed it- you don't have to trim your flak vest. Flak vests can either end right with the ab plate, or be long enough to tuck into your waist items, you just can't have a flap of loose material coming untucked constantly.

I love that helmet design and your paint job so far!

Gotcha. I spoke with my Ruus'alor in the interim between posts and they affirmed that too.

Appreciated!  :D

Helmet Update,

It was still a bit damp in these photos. I may do some more dirty-ing.

Update time again!
(More of a test fitment)

Known issues that I will omit:
1. The diamond has already been fixed to look like armor
2. The belt has been weathered (seen in the preceding photos)
3. Belt is sagging
4. Shoulders are uneven (in-progress of fixing)
5. Not wearing balaclava or gloves
6. Currently do not have a back plate

To do after this:
1. Complete Kama / loin cloth
2. Hem in pantlegs to fit better
3. Sew on velcro pieces
4. Complete and affix backplate
5. Touch ups and weathering.

Good progress! You definitely need a neck seal of some sort. Built into the flight suit or flak vest, or a separate piece.

I知 still new to this community (only just in the beginning stages of putting my bucket together) but I just want to say reading this thread has been really inspirational to me and I知 super excited to get cracking on my own kit once the weather improves here in the Netherlands (I have to work in the garden because my Amsterdam apartment is tiny!)

Suy cuy, vod!

Welcome to the community! I am honored to hear that this has given you inspiration, truly. I empathize with the space problem; it can be a bother. I wish you the best in the process! :D

Nice work, but I really can't tell that there's weathering in your weathering picture.
