Jay's Upgrades (Shock Infantry)
« on: Jul 09, 2013, 11:07 PM »
For a while I have wanted to join a brigade...Ever since getting my Pre Vizsla, I've decided to go Shock Infantry.
Before my kit was fairly light:

New upgrades are:
-Wrap around thighs
- Front and back full shins
- Neck armor
- Bigger Pauldrons
- New Helmet
- Bicep armor
I still have to add the ear caps/cannons and I'm thinking of making a new weapon.












What say you vode?  ;D

YES YES ALL OF THE YES.  ;D ;D ;D

Once you get the cannon/antennae thingies added to the bucket, your kit will be 100% perfect.

Your lower body armour could do with some rounding off. Bottom of the knees, shins and yhighs (personal opinion). Otherwise spot on, get those earcaps and you are gold.

Holy crap! your giving me a run for my money, haha  :P 


Words cannot express how much I am impressed by the progression of your kit, and the latest is no exception, love it.  Great choice going Shock Infantry  ;)

My only suggestions would be maybe move your pauldrons a bit forward, so there tipped more to the front.  And I'd try and get another bigger gun, with heavy armor comes bigger weapons.  That is my current project, bigger guns!  :P

Looking good! I assume you are going for the Heavy Assault profession? I'm on the fence about the earcap/ antennae bits, as the helmet doesn't quite look complete with out something there, but I think they would make it too wide. It's already bordering on giving you a bit of a bobble-headed appearance. One thing you could do to help fix that is really beef up the shoulders. Maybe something like clone shoulder bells just to add a bit more bulk to balance out the width of the bucket.
I also think adding the curved pieces to the knees would really help give them more depth as they look quite flat at the moment.
The paint apps on your kit look really good, nice job :)

This is pretty fantastic. like, in every way. I Second the notion to beef up the shoulders and knees, it'll help give them more of a presence to match the rest of this awesome kit.I have plans to try a clam shell fully enclosed bicep armor in the near future.. a similar design might help here too  :)

Nice upgrades  ;) .

I do agree on lowering the cod aswell as angling the Pauldrons forward.

If you're going the Shock infantry route, you want a heavy duty weapon. A heavy repeating rifle of somesort. Add some grenades too, they always help.  ;)

Grenades always help. Always. And in my humble opinion, you need a rocket launcher. Like, NEED. that would be so many levels of awesome.

Yoou might benefit from doing a small cut on the back/center of the kama for a bit more mobility, roughly half-2/3rds of the way up seems to be the norm.

Thanks vode! ;D
 In the past week or so I've gotten a lot done. I took all of your suggestions into account and most of them have been implemented into my kit. I still need to cut into the kama so it has better movement.
Run down of the upgrades:
-Bigger shoulder bells
- Wrap around biceps (Need to be trimmed down)
- Armored Kama
- Backplate data panel
- Clan logo moved to thigh
- Cannons and earcaps attached to helmet with bolts, nuts, washers and magnets. (Thanks to Vhett for helping me out with that.)  :)
- Beefed up knees
I'm trying to decide whether or not I should do shnees...What do y'all think?
And I'm trying to get a big gun. Right now I'm drawing up designs/gathering materials to make a rocket launcher. With more armor, comes more big guns.  8)
Application pictures for Shock Infantry. I think I did everything for Heavy Assault, am I ready to submit?
