I don't believe fingerless gloves are allowed with late-era Crusaders; goes with the requirements for a 'sealed flight suit' appearance.
Quite right, I had forgotten that bit. Thanks.
The second design on this page is much better, scrolling through, I was going to say that the chest and ab plates of the first one were too modern era, even with the chest being one piece. This other one looks good though, assuming I'm getting the delineation between armor and soft parts right on the torso. You might want to toss up a colored version to make the difference clearer.
The first one was just a namdomaker that I colored in and modified slightly, the color scheme is what I was tinkering with there. I'll color this one in tonight and see what I can come up with, it ended up more complex than I had initially planned so a simple sash paint job likely won't work. I'll either clean up the fake abs or come up with another scheme.
Thanks for your feedback

I have to say the rebreather on the side of your helmet worries me for two reasons. If you install an actual one used in the modern US military gasmasks you're going to have to counter the weight of it by gluing fishing weights or something of that nature to the other side to balance it out. Even with proper padding that side of the helmet is going to be sagging compared to the rest of the helmet.
The entire thing is going to be cold cast, so the canister itself will be hollow. Much easier to counterbalance.
The second issue I see is with your raised armored collar, I don't think the rebeather is going to let you turn your head with out it causing damage to the armor.
That, however, is a valid point that I saw when I popped the helmet over the armour sketch. As much as I liked the idea, it may be time to drop it. I'll just have to wait until I throw it all together and see how frustrating it really is in person. I was hoping to avoid the ubiquitous hoses and came up with something more unique. I may just leave off the collar and give him an exposed neck. That collar would make it a pain to do any work in too so it's rather out of character....
Ah well... plenty of time to mull it over and modify it. Thanks for the suggestions :-D
