Re: almost there.....

Looks great man! What is that armor made out of? Aluminum? The jumpsuit is a bit dark, but its looking great other than that. Also is that a Rubies? Nice rework if it is that! Keep it up! It'll look a lot more complete with the center diamond also btw (or tractor beam as it apparently is).

Re: almost there.....

thnks guys..i still think mine looks a bit off...maybe its those pouches..

I got them made locall (singapore) and i paid alot for those (abt USD140)...and its real good quality....but now it seems too big..any suggestions??

The armor are just aluminium....not those thick one, just the 5mm thick sheets so i could handle with my sheares...but would probably upgrae them in the near future...

I also think the jump suits a big too baggy at the legs...

i need more comments and some ways to fix any flaws u guys think u can find..

thnks!

Re: almost there.....

a good start, armor seems a bit big...in pulling this off correctly i think porportion is the way go....

i see these big guys and think to my self???? why not make the armor to fit them rather than a big guy in a little suit type scenario!

it should hug your body! you notice what we see, the suit and flak is a bit baggy. etc...

porportion is the key to any good suit...screen accurate or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

overall a good start :thumbsup

Re: almost there.....

Looks good but as FOIOOO said "proportion" is the way to go.
The thigh pieces seem a bit oversised to me but that could just be because you do not have the holsters on.
I think the best way to tell is get kitted out fully (gauntlets/holsters etc) then see what needs to be adjusted.

Re: almost there.....

Well said, FOIOOO. Proportion makes all the difference, which is why it's almost pointless (in my opinion) to rely on armor templates and mass-produced armor when building your suit. Of course, it's usually easier and cheaper that way, but proportion is key if you want it to look right. :)

Bleahhh... good start with the trimming. As for the bagginess in your suit, it will probably look better when it's covered with armor, gauntlets, leather belts, etc.

Re: almost there.....

Bleahhh,

I think your pack's 'body' should even out with the bottom plate...not sit on it and have it look like it's sitting on a ledge. Other than that...good effort. ;)

Stay safe.

hmm care to explain?

there are actually some inaccuracy due to the materials and my miscalculation...

but its been great help frm MIrax's templates...

Re: almost there.....

Bleahhh,

In actual, your mainbody should be flushed with the bottom edge [See circled area in red]. Right now, you mainbody is 'smaller' than the bottom template pice, making it seem it's 'sitting on a ledge' and disproportionate.

Clearer now? If not, I'll show you what I mean when my MLC JP gets in. ;)

Hope this helps.

Re: almost there.....

Somehow I like that "hammered steel" look on it.
Would advise extensive weathering and "battle-damage" to let it look really battered (like gone through the sarlacc ;) ). Think that would look cool.

and thanx for the compliment, but that I'll still have to proove. It also might be that mine ends up in the trash instead...
