Alright everyone, I have pictures!!

THINGS TO NOTE:
You'll notice that I don't have gauntlets or ear caps on my helmet, this was intentional since at the time the gaunts didn't fit and the ear caps wernt colored, however that is now fixed! so just pretend they are there XD
Also you may notice that my belts are loose and my vest is flying away. That will be fixed as soon as I add more holes.

That's looking really good! I'm loving the way you've painted it.
A few tweaks and you'll be good to go :D

I'm super pleased with the way my paint came out, I was afraid it would look really bad for awhile there XD

Im so close to official I can taste it.

IMO, your kama doesn't really fit in with the rest of your kit. I mean, your armor and the rest of your soft parts are really weathered, desert-y colors. And then you have this bright blue kama. It kinda sticks out, and not really in a good way. I'd either make a new one that matches your kit better, or weather the current one so it doesn't stand out as much.
Also, you should definitely buy a couple more pouches. Just having the one looks... Off.

I kind of agreed with this, but after a while the blue kama's kind of grown on me.  :rolleyes:

Also, I think your vest is a bit baggy on the sides. That'll need to be taken up a little. You're doing great! Keep it up!  ;D

A few things. First, make sure your vest is tucked in and try and tighten your belts up. Also, your flightsuit is flaring up around your knees, make sure to lose the bagginess. Then once you get your helmet fixed you won't be far off.  ;)

I second the pouch thing. If you need some, I have some brown mauser pouches kicking around.

Thanks Chro! But I think im going to see if i can find another set just like mine. My original idea was to have two sets, but could only find one in time.

Your right everyone, I completely forget to add grime to my karma, and after looking at it, I realized it makes my booty kinda large, so ill be making it smaller.

But thank you everyone! I will be fixing everything soon!

I don't believe I haven't commented on this thread yet! :P

...bookmarked!  :laugh:...

Looking good Vod! I really like the angular plate design, (IMO, I prefer customer plates as they show our individuality! ;D)

As others have said, dirty up that kama and it will match with the rest of your kit! ;)
Maybe adding some "boba pouches" in addition to a couple more ammo pouches like you have will help to take up some of the open space on the belt!
Then tighten things up (looks like you have a handle on this too), get those gaunts and you'll have a sweet kit!

Keep up the excellent work!! Can't wait to see more!

Oh yeah, no offense meant here, but, just for reference it's "kama" not "karma"
(Karma: Destiny or fate, following as effect from cause; Kama: an accoutrement attached to the wearer's belt. Often described as a belt-spat or half-kilt... Sorry couldn't resist :P)

Your kit looks awesome! the way you made the chest plates are genius btw i might need to try that for upgrades. Mine are from a mannequin so they don't sit as well on the ladies if you catch my drift, but it was ok to get me approved.

Can't wait to see it completed!

Absolutely! I love the way they fit, and they were so easy to make. Arch actually made a template for the plates, you can find it here! Its great cause if you need to make the template bigger, you can just enlarge it.
