The front

Left

Back

Right

This is how I pick up the ladies

I who doesn't want an Appa hug?
Knees need velcro, and the face mask to cover my neck is ordered. Guns need a a good painting, and the pauldron needs black wash and to be slid back a bit as its sagging. Also it needs a trim around the front of the neck, it was a tad uncomfortable there. Anything else?

Here's my list:
1. the armor on your lower body needs to come up
-the cod looks like it's riding low and it needs to be secured better.
-the thighs need to come up and they need to be tighter. They seem to be floating off of your legs at the top.
-your left thigh plate needs to shift inward a bit.
-the knees need to come up so they aren't touching the shins.

2. Your flightsuit is very baggy. I'd take it in quite a bit in the arms and a bit in the legs so it doesn't blouse around the plates (knees and thigh straps)

Overall, it's a really good looking kit! The above changes with tighten up the look and make it look really snazzy  8)

Thanks for the list! most of these I knew, like those dang knees  >:( The cod is on it's own belt, so I just need to tighten that, as well pulling a few straps will pull up the thighs. I took in the body of the flight suit, but not the arms and legs.

How do you use those holsters beinh so far in the back...do you reach both arms behind so the right arm takes out the left blaster and the left arm takes out the right blaster or something like that?

Originally, yes I did. But my pouches were pure osik, so I actually couldn't put them back without a handler. When I got the clone blasters I kinda retired the little ones, so they serve as decoration now. A deadly decoration  :laugh:

Yeah the front of the pauldron was digging into my neck, and I think that kept tilting it forward. It'll be shifted, no worries. Thanks!

The only thing that jumps out at me is the flight suit doesn't look as weathered as the rest on the armor.
Other then that looks great.

I do like that idea. I got plenty of scrap leather to the for straps. I like this idea. Also I've finished the new helmet design. A friend is casting us a pair of custom helmets.

What ya think?

We're at odds over the name though.. I like "The Paragon", but the lady prefers "Shev'la Kyr'am", which means "Silent Death..." And thanks! I hope it looks this good finished.. no, the drawing's osik, I hope it looks better lol

Flight suit has been taken in significantly, minor work on gaunts for better comfort done, and the pauldron now only needs a brown and black wash and its done. Gonna sew some velcro onto the flight suit to help the plates stay in place a little better in the next few days. Also the helmet designs and measurements have been completed so The Paragon aka Shev'la Kyr'am is being sculpted... If I had a decent gun I could probably take app pics this week...  :-[
