Wow.. those blasts are VERY nicely done. I could actually believe they're real impacts. When i get started on my own, i will try to do as you did, but i doubt it'll be just as good ;-)
Following this build with alot of interest.
Just a few questions. Will the "bunching" up of the cummerbund strands be helped by the armor and / or pouches ? or is it better in this case to add a few more stitches ? And did you replace the buttons on the shirt with full velcro ?
