Posted on the BHG site too, not sure which was best or if both was totally acceptable...
I'm waiting on my helmet to come back from being painted, then I think I'll be ready to submit my application. (I have a hastily-made homemade/home-painted one in my profile pic. Not the final one)
Putting this out there now so that I can make any necessary changes while I'm waiting for the helmet. If I could get some feedback on any red flags you see that would keep me from getting approved, that would be great. What are some big issues you see as well as general tips/suggestions.
Thanks all!
(it felt wrong to post a helmet-less Boba, so I slapped on a digital one
)
I do have a divers buckle attached to my jetpack harness, just can't see it in these photos. Which makes me wonder if my flak vest is too long. I thought it was a half inch, but looking at these pictures make me wonder. I may have to measure again. What do you guys think of the flak vest length and armor placement?
The braids were originally for ROTJ SE. Should I change them to just the blonde, brown and black?
Which direction do the hip pouches angle? Are they good as is, or is it the other way? I can't find a good reference photo since the arms are always in the way...
Do the jetpack straps require any weathering?
I have ridiculously skinny wrists and the gauntlets I got are fairly heavy. Not a good combo for them staying on my wrist. I put a bit of padding in there, but my right gauntlet still wants to slide down when my arm is down (also due to the hoses being a bit restrictive). I may need to play around with where the hoses attach by my shoulder blade, but what else have you all done to make sure your gauntlets stay put?
A couple more shots in the shade and inside for color/weathering references. I'm sure I need to weather the thong strap and knee straps. On that note, does the ROTJ version require the thong strap? The CRL says yes, but I've seen some posts on the forums without, but maybe they just didn't have it on at the time.
I also have the shin tools completely ready to go, just didn't put them in for these pics.
I'm in the middle of putting together the EE3 as well. Havent gotten pics of that yet.
I'll update with pics of those along with any modifications I make from your input.
What do you think so far? Your feedback is appreciated!
