Hello all! I don't usually make WIPs, but I am very close to finishing. This is my first kit build. Lots of trial error and near walking away. I worked on the hard parts in the fall waiting on my soft parts to come in. My soft parts just came in last week, so theoretically I am on strapping and should be done. A fellow pathfinder helped me put everything on last weekend.
Because I am 5'2 and have a shorter torso, to get the AB plate to sit properly, the whole costume has to ride pretty low. I believe the kit is Imperial Surplus and a small. I bought it off a fellow Garrison member who is also the same height.
If I submitted it riding low, would that be acceptable? Can I trim the top of the ab plate before submitting for approval, is that even allowed? My friend suggested I reprint the middle greeblies to be smaller so I can sit the plates proper. Any suggestions would be welcome!
PS: Apologies for my terrible facial expressions.
The picture attached below shows the chest plate sitting properly, but it does cover 1/3 of that greeblie.
