I appriciate everyone's feedback. The lime green color is created by the crappy lighting in my bed room. So today, I took my pictures outdoors.

As I previously mentioned, I don't like the eye scar. I'll be redoing it after I finish the rest of the helmet. This is before any wet sanding, or minor weathering:

I wiped off the latex with tissue paper, so it left a residue.

THAT'S BARELY FEEDBACK.

And my EE-3 as it sits now....



LEFT TO DO:

Paint my backplate
My entire chest diamond
Fix my right gaunt
Finish that final panel on my helmet
Assemble said helmet
Wait for Toe Spikes
Hem vest
Secure rocket onto jetpack
Build holster for sidearm. Which is on its way BTW.

Oh! and take submission pictures ;)

You're not quite even there on the collar. I'd move it down just a bit too - once you mount the jetpack its weight should pull it back to the correct spacing, as is I'm concerned that it'll be pulled back too much.

That helmet does look a bit minty green. Boba-McCoy like.

Looking real nice vod, really liking the Jetpack.

I don't agree with the others about the collar, the weight of the jet pack should rest on your harness and have no effect on the collar. I have issues with my half cape pulling my collar back but you seem to have got yours right.

I'm not a fan of the whole "Nope. Nope. Nope. It's my kit and I'll cry if I want to," attitude that's usually on this site, but sorry guys. You're not right.

First off, My collar is a solid half inch farther out from my neck than Boba's was in ESB/ROTJ. And Tact is right, we wear harnesses for a reason. And just to show you guys that it won't affect me, I got the attachment done on the JP, put it on, did dishes for a half an hour, and then took these pics:





The collar was not put on in front of a mirror, so the alignment is a smidge off
