Very nice work so far! gonna be watchin closely!

[Tyno Krast]

The weld does look a lot better, but throw a bit of blue and green streaking around the outside and inside edges of the weld line, it doesn't quite look right yet IMHO

Agree with all of this.

Everything does look much better. Looking forward to seeing a plate placement picture with the vest.

[Vanlande Ne'trasenaar]

That paint is wonderful. Emulate the heat with the blue and that will really set it off. I would've really liked to see that about plate have more of a curve but hopefully with the vest it'll sort itself out. It's looking great overall though, keep it up!

I have a few of the items for my belt planning on getting another mosin pouch

[Naasad Tal]

If you wanna carry the lightsaber hilt, it has to be as a trophy. You're gonna have to make it look REALLY damaged, like cut in half & blown up damaged

[Tyno Krast]

How do you plan on mounting the plates to the vest? The ab plate really could use a bit more of a curve on the sides. But as Van said once it's mounted to the vest the material will be puled close to the plate and it will be fine.

I'd suggest snaps or bolts for mounting. Velcro might work but because of the ab plate you run the risk of the ab pulling away from the vest and driving you nuts.

The hilt is already semi weathered and I am actually working on exposed wiring and a lot more char I will post an updated picture as soon as I get that and the weld on my plates painted up. The plates will be mounted with button snaps to make sure they won't be going no where . do you think a little hit with the heat gun will mess the paint up ?

[Naasad Tal]

You could get some interesting weathering with a heat gun

[Jorad Werde]

You could get some intereting weathering with the heat gun, and if you don't like it you can always repaint.  I would suggest heating from the back of the piece, that will probably damage the paint job much less than coming at it from the front.

Nice paint work

Get those plates Up more vod once they are up higher i reckon the size will be spot on.

get the collar up touching you throat and then space the plates down from there

Nice work vod keep it up   

[Russiya]

OK so I tried the blue but it looked much to cartoon like I mixed some blue and copper and was pleased with the turn out

[Renn]

awesome weathering, the weld looks really good   

[Jorad Werde]

THAT IS PRETTY.  If I didn't know better I would say it was welded on.  Glad the blue suggestion worked.

[Vanlande Ne'trasenaar]

That just looks darn good vod

[Marec Bloodfin]

Awesome weathering, love the way the Mythosaur looks on the chest too.

[Tyno Krast]

Heating the plates to get the bend in the ab....move the plates up first as Niabi said and see how it looks. Once the plates are positioned properly and secured to the vest everything might look fine. But have one last look at the plates before securing them to the vest. Measure twice, cut once, so to speak.

If the ab still looks like it might need some bending I'd recommend always heating plates from the inside. This will help prevent unwanted distortion and unplanned weathering. I learned this lesson the hard way 

[Russiya]

OK so I am have had some troubles getting together soft parts but had the chance to paint up my shoulder bells what do you think

[Jaing Vau]

Looks good ner vod! Awesome weathering job. Same on those chest plates. Kandosii  8)

[Tyno Krast]

I'm digging those shoulders!

[Vanlande Ne'trasenaar]

The little notch looked like a mess up at first, then I saw that it's part of the shape. I dig it vod,  it's coming together nicely.

[Russiya]

Thank you vod they are not your normal shoulder bells they have a really heavy look to them

[Russiya]

Hey there whats that a gaffi stick trophy / wepon?! Because what's better then destroying tuskans with there own weapon

[Niabi]

nice gaffi stick vod

and the shoulders look cool too  8)

[Russiya]

Been quite some time but I made up my vest just ran out of snaps for the armor the vest is 100% leather

[Naasad Tal]

 Vest is lookin good...I'm worried the chest plates might be a bit too wide though. Looking at the collar (which looks like it works size wise) I'd say take about a half inch off the outside edge of the just the chest plates (leave the ab & collar alone)

Glad to see you working again & we hope to see more progress from you soon!
