Well done Vhe!  Well done!  

[Calidus Dartome]

Nope, it's connected to the pants by way of snaps.

That's a good idea, sole belt attachment  has it's flaws... (falls with the belt)

Nice, I didn't even think of that. I'm definitely liking that idea. 

[locokarma]

I am seriously kicking myself over here for missing this at CV.
But... nicely done by the way.

[Ajax Kaal]

Have to say it again, this is one of the best femmando kits ever!

Absolutely love it!

Keep it up.

[Ajax Al'astair]

very well done, color scheme is great

[Gar Skirata]

(falls over on the floor form a heart attack)

just perfect 

[TheMandoMan]

Awesome, your metal-working skills just astound me.  Excellent kit!

Debuting Ivven v2, with all her many upgrades. Have to say, this is the first time I’ve ever personally liked my own kit, so I’m quite happy with it. I added knees finally and replaced various armor pieces (the helmet included). I’ve replaced most of the soft parts, including the vest, flightsuit (which I heavily modified from purchase), and boots, hoping to give the kit a more natural look while still keeping with the design schedule of the previous one. Real leather gear belt by lonewolf1183. Vest by Shak-ti 4 Him, modified slightly by myself. Blaster by Jare Hasan. Helmet base by M-DSB.

This suit is made of metal (18 gauge aluminum), hand-hammered and shaped by myself. Gauntlets are currently plastic, though I plan to upgrade to a metal and plastic hybrid.

Upgrades still left to do, hopefully before Dragon*Con:
-get a second blaster (possibly)
-obtain/make holsters
-add collar space to the vest and add a collar plate (ran out of time)
-get new gloves (possibly)
-the new gauntlets are currently made of plastic, but my goal is to upgrade them to a metal/plastic hybrid

These photos are from Animazement, ConCarolinas, and HeroesCon, where v2 was debuted over a two week period. ‘Zeherfoto’ pictures are by Riv.

Hoping to possibly do a more legitimate photoshoot of the costume once the aforementioned upgrades are finished.

Also reposted this to the first post to reflect the new kit.

[jabger]

wow this is really an amassing kit you have. it's one of the ones that makes us who are unfinished go into a corner and cry while eating ice cream  good job.

[Remo Jadd]

you know. i think a kama would set your kit off nicely  .  nice work Vhe 

[Slade Kel]

Well done . The thighs and shins are a little bare for my tastes, but once you add on a holster or two, the thighs will be taken care of.

Never thought I'd go for a light kit, but I'm really liking the drudgey Boba look. So, no current plans to add other leg plates.

[Squirrel]

This version is great! Very well done!

I've come to appreciate light kits for comfort's sake. I was actually in the process of converting my Slade armor to light before deciding to semi-retire it and start the two newer sets.

[Dar'manda]

Well, I reckon this is a great costume.

[hypnoctopus]

This is such an awesome kit! You look just like an action figure and I especially loved the 'tanning' photo.

[Jagen Ordo]

Wait....
No collar plate?

Oh....
Forget I said anything.

But what means TL;DR?

[RoboEmma]

TL;DR "Too lazy; didn't read." It's a popular forum preface people use to indicate they didn't read the thread, but will be commenting on the original post anyways.

This was a very nice kit to see in person. My one suggestion would be to perhaps add a rope girth belt or some velcro to hold up the leather belt because it was slouching a bit, in turn exposing the top of the cod piece. Not a huge deal but would add more "polish" I suppose. No kit is perfect, I have a few fitting issues of my own that need correcting. ^^;

I actually slouch the belt on purpose; gives me the illusion of a longer torso, lol. It could sit flat and higher up if I wanted it to, because it seals with velcro. I don't seal it the same way every time, so sometimes it slouches more than others and shows a bit of the top of the cod. Honestly, I think the issue may be that my cod piece is sitting a little high; eh, what can you do when you're sewing at 4 a.m. the night before an event. I'll probably try to reposition it.

[Cpt. Rhiis Mok'tau]

This has actually been a long time favorite kit of mine. ^-^
I think the one thing it could really use to finish it off is a holster for the blaster, then it'd be (even more) Gold standard.

[Frost K'Amon]

She recently did some testing with some leather she has, and thinks that she may be able to make some holsters out of them, so they are on the immediate upgrade list for D*Con
