Looks good. It appears that the belt needs to come down a alittle, it's riding up under your pouches from the pictures. TD looks a little off to the side on positioning. The drop boxes could come up more as well (they look longer on the front a tad). Not sure the rank stripes on the holster are correct for clearance though. You're almost there!

Your belt should be ok but try bringing your belt boxes up a bit. They also need to move forward as they are riding too far back. Some good full body side photos would help here.

 

I'm not sure about the flak jacket sleeves, they look a bit long to me but someone else can probably weigh in on that.

 

As Cheyenne said, the rank stripes don't belong on the holster. I know some kits come with them but that is a no go.

 

You might also check the shoulder bridges, they look uneven. It looks like the one on the right (facing us) is a bit long. It might just be the way they are positioned though.

 

All in all, not bad. You aren't far off.

Belt height is fine -- DONT MOVE THAT BELT

 

Your vest sleeves are a touch too long

 

Legs are really baggy. Maybe put some stirrups around the bottom of your pants legs to help pull them down more into your boot.

 

Take the stripes off the holster

 

I agree dropboxes are hanging a touch too low.

Not to hijack this thread, but I'm sure this was probably discussed in another thread.

 

Is the chest armor two pieces?

 

It looks very much like it was built in two separate pieces and then bondoed together doesn't it?

That's what our XO teaches us.

1.) Watch the movie.

2.) Watch the movie.

3.) Watch the movie.

 

and when in doubt from the first three watch the movie again ;)

It's actually more likely to be a crack. No doubt the armour has been bent laterally as part of filming and cracked at the weak spot of the two indents on the chest, the small notch at the bottom and the indent between the verticals on the top.

You can see that it's not 'straight', and if it was a two half join it would have split nicely along the seam as that is the natural weak spot, and most likely cracked along its full length, and not just a small section of it.

 

 

Well done on your clearance Dan.

Hmmm....It could be a stunt suit.

 

-Han flips one

-Chewie blows up the escaping trooper

-luke thows against the tree from the speeder

-leia shoots the trooper who's supposed to "take her back to base"

-etc
