Here are my pre-approval pics:

Aside from the bicep pieces being turned a bit too far towards the back, and my left drop-box being a fraction higher than the right (I suspect I need to lower the left rather than raise the right), I think this is very close to being final. I have an Aker in my left pouch, which (according to my family) makes my voice audible even with the helmet on.

 

There's still a bit to do before I'm totally happy, as I need to made some TD clips for extra support, do some weathering and carve the soles before I'm ready to go for Lancer, but I think this meets basic standard.

 

Please let me know what you think. My goal is to go for approval around the end of the week, so I can troop with it at Armageddon (which is basically NZ's version of Comic-con) on 4-6 June.

 

Thanks

I already mentioned a few items on your build thread but I noticed that your bicep armour looks a bit low. You might want to bring that up closer to the shoulder bell. The other item I noticed is that your TD is crooked and may just need a little adjustment to square it up. Looking good! How's it feel to wear the full kit? I know I was stoked and ready to chase me some Ewoks! Look forward to seeing you approved!

Basically what Peter said. Pull your forearm pieces down a little more as well. Pouches ideally want to rest on the edge of the ribs of the bund, but not bad at all. Easy approval.

Thanks Retro and Chex. I'll make those tweaks.

 

And yeah, it feels really good to have the whole lot on. (aside from the heat!)

Looks really good, nice job! A few tweaks and you'll be even better. I can tell you did your homework trooper. As mentioned, should be an easy approval.

Hi again

 

I've made all of the tweaks to biceps, forearms, TD and pouches, so think I'm ready to go - any final tips?

Nice work Brian! You look ready to mount up and chase some rebel scum! Looks great my friend I hope you have a TKID# in mind since I'm sure you'll be approved in no time. :duim:
