My wife took some pictures this evening. What do you think?

I certainly approve of your captive, having taken a similar one myself when I completed my build.

 

Third row down, all the way at the right. "Sassytrooper ain't takin' nunna ya rebel shennanigans, honey!"

 

Looks good! The only nitpicks I have (which are exactly that, picking nits) are that the dropboxes look huge (I assume this is a KS kit), the pouches may need to be spaced another inch or two apart (in an ideal world they're at the outermost edges of the bund ribbing), and you need to take care of your cameltoe. But NOTHING that would prevent approval here!

I would pull your belt down a bit in the back. A trick I use to keep it on is to safety pin it in place, you can't see it either

Wow those are some big thigh boxes. You could pack lunch for the whole squad in those!

 

And yes, the cummerbund should never come out below the belt. But that's all nitpicks. Nice job!

[Stroker]

Besides what the other troopers brought to your attention, trime and round the corners of the shoulders bells a bit. Looking good

[Chef]

I think they've about covered it all...

 

A few more bits for Lancer, but address those as and when you need to.

I'd move the drop boxes down a little, perhaps half an inch (which might require an inch of strap because of the angle). They wouldn't look so big if they were sitting lower on your leg. There are some pictures where they're touching your belt. Don't go too far though. That was one of the first things pointed out that was wrong with my scout.

 

For the pouches, they seem a little big and puffy. If you are capable, maybe turn them inside out and hem them in a little bit. Whatever you've got filling them, use about 75% of that.

 

Stroker, it's hard to trim and round the shoulder bells on a KS kit because there's a deep return edge on almost every piece. You have to take that edge off of the whole shoulder before you can round it without it looking weird.

[Chex]

I'd actually just buy new shoulder bells. The KS will never sit the way they should without major modifying. Belt should come down for sure, not only in the back, but a little in the front. Drop boxes need to come down a bit and center on your outter thigh. Nothing there that will hold up approval though.
