yeah what did u use for the armor looks great
Your ammo pouches seem a little large, but they look very well-made. Where did ya get those?

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!
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

you are well under way!!
keep going!
so where u think I should 'Trim'??
looks good
where is the diamond peice in the middle
was it hard to manipulate the armor
Looking pertty good. Real metal armor!!! wow that must have taken time to bend.
Looks good.
I see you got the gloves
thnks to a member here, yeah i got the gloves!..
anything else to improve?
here it is a bit trimmed up.
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.
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.
Joren Fett
sorry guys and gals for the confusion
i photo shopped Bleahh's pic for an example of what it might look trimmed...etc.
good job on the photoshop...haha..
But I guess I'll have to get the gear all on and decide..thks for the comments and the time taken..
appreciate them..
do give me more if u have or when I have done trimming!!!
haha... i guess that shows how closely i was paying attention. nice job!
Joren Fett
new stuff just collected!!
too bad mine are just rubies!
The holster looks pretty nice.
Did you make it yourself?
...and lucky for us, you didn't forgot your pants this time...
what kind of helmet is that? A jango rubies?

U're still on the shirt issue huh....
Those were made by a leather smith...cost quite a bit...but the leather, smells really nice and its bound to last all the perilous journies i will have on my hunts!
erm, a DP 97...quite banged up huh...
Woah those holsters kick butt! Keep up the great work!
Much sweat and tears....
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.

Hey, your scratch built jet pack has become quite nice

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...
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.

The "Sniffer" admires your creativity. You have proven yourself to TDH and the ranks.
Sniff away my friend!
Thnk you guys for the comment. Some how, I find ur nick a bit...offending..haha..
More updates on my semi-finished jet pack.....I reckon it needs more sanding...
nice!
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
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...
