Noted and adjusted Arcaster Can't wait to paint as i'm a vehicle paintsprayer by trade . I've been a painter for about 25 years now but hey got to be patient and get the panelling right first

Hey Jake, got a better view with the armour on ya! I 'think' that the plates are a little on the large side? (see attached pic, excuse size of image) I understand that your a tall guy but they seem a little on the large side when compared to the pics. (just my 2 pence).

Maybe.. and it is a maybe that when you've added the contours to them that they'll 'appear' smaller?
Don't get me wrong I think they look great so far but could be allot better with a little work.

p.s. Paint sprayer?? hmmmm will send ya a PM.

Cheers Mojofett , i did base the plates on Wizzards XL templates i suppose i should've remembered our US mates XLs are more like our XXL but not a problem as can cut down to a L . Had a feeling may get a pm lol saw yer Thread

I think the armor is OK, but the vest seems small on you, this is why you don't have enough room to fit the armor plates properly. The vest should be longer in lenght and maybe wider on the shoulders, especially that the shoulder area doesn't look good. Did you buy the vest already made or it was made to your measurements?

 

[Mike M.]

I was thinking the armor looks a bit large on you as well, but like rafal said it might be that the vest is a little too small. Or maybe a combination of both.

Hi guys , as to Rafs question i had vest made by Cucblack . I was wearing quite a thick jumper when i took the pics but did feel it was a little short . I also felt myself the armor was a little big so have adjusted from XL to L , i have rough placed them although i've still to adjust collar . Thanks for the feedback guys :cheers

 

[BobaFiend]

Looks better to me. Now you can sell that XL armor for mad bank $$$ lol

 

[jakefox24]

Hmmm that's an idea apolifika ' Who wants XL Ally Armor !!!! '

 

[jakefox24]

Whilst contemplating the adjustments to my flac i decided to start weathering my boots, still some way to go but here's so far

 

[jakefox24]

Then whilst waiting for the fabric paint to dry i started to make my cod armor, still a little more to do to finish .

 

[RafalFett]

Good job on the weathering, and the armor looks good too. Keep up the great work!

 

[jakefox24]

Well after passing a kidney stone this morning and feeling like death (my poor little feller ) was feeling better this afternoon so i decided on finishing my cod all bar the paint . ( Even added a dents just for you Raf )

 

[jakefox24]

[ZOD]

Lookin' GREAT!

 

[Archaster777]

Hey man! I like the progress. One thing I would look to is the dents for the knee pads. I'm sure you'll get to it but it's looking good!

 

[RafalFett]

Good job so far! The toe spikes should be fixed by moving the spike closer to the screw and maybe shorten it a bit, like this:

 

[jakefox24]

Cheers Guys , done a little more on the knees earlier ( dart blocks and filler ) and put in the dent just for you Archaster . Photos will follow soon ! :cheers

 

[jakefox24]
