Trial fitting.
Will have to add strapping to leg armor and somehow fix the baggy flight suit around knees. It does not fit  well inside the boots.

The overall color theme works really well with your kit.  Can you provide a couple close ups of your darker soft parts once you've completed weathering?

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

More fitting.



And made it to the convention with the new kit



And the first test showed what to do next:

- Still have to work on back plate
- Need to add more weathering on soft parts
- Need to rework attachment method of the leg plates. Velcro does not work really well
- I'd like to add more armor on hips to improve the silhouette
- Don't really like the looks of left gauntlet. I'll make the new one

Kit is looking fabulous Vod,
Your shoulders could be slid back slightly to look less like they’re rolled forward.
Your waist belts and draped fabric are well done! The pouches look huge though. Adding the hip components like you mentioned will go quite a ways in altering the sillhouette you mentioned.
Overall you’re doing awesome!

That velcro is basically great. However, I am having some trouble with it with my chest plates. It adds a lot of bulk. But this may be because I placed it all around the corners. So maybe just don't do that. I probably meant too well, so my edges are now up ca. 0.5 cm due to that thick velcro.

That parts look fantastic. I particularly love the kama! :<3:

Thanks! And yes i agree it is thick, but it is a great option for my leg parts where ordinary velcro were not secure at all

Made it to pre-app and there are some more updates i should make.



- Make additional tailoring on a vest
- Add more weathering to the dark soft parts
- Change my left gauntlet for the smaller one
- Get myself a new gun, do not use the old one : D

There were also questions about my heels, so i add more photos here.



And new gauntlet in process. This one is smaller and, well... Just better : D
