Posting these here too to see if there's anything else I need to do or adjust for basic approval.

Any feedback is appreciated and also let me know if you need better photos as these are a bit dark and were taken by a child. :D

Looks good to me. If I had to nitpick anything it would be the rivet on the bottom of your tank. It seems a little bit high up to me. It could be the angle the photo was taken from since you said it was a child that took it.

Looking good Greedo-man! Here's what I see my friend.

 

1.) Bund is riding kinda low it shouldn't be below your belt and it looks like it's slipping down from your chest armor. Can you pull that up higher? Look at the sixth photo and you can see it falling under the chest/back armor. Bikerscout007 caught me on that mistake on my pre-approval and I know he'll give me grief if I miss it again. He has a thing for the cummerbund :D.

2.) Your bicepts and forearms are almost on the bottom of your arms. You'll need to rotate the biceps around and make them almost square with the shoulders. The forearms should just be over the tops of your gauntlets by about 1/2" - 1".

3.) The flight suit on the left knee is looking bunched below the armor. Might want to pull that tight after you put your knees on then put your boots on.

4.) The right vest sleeve needs to be pulled down a bit. It looks like it's riding up under the shoulder bell.

 

It's looking great and most of it is just fitment and you'll learn all that once you start wearing it more. Just a matter of tightening it up a bit. You'll be a shoe-in for approval and I'm sure your GML will appreciate you making it an easy one. Excellent work!

Awesome and thank you! I was thinking about adding a little Velcro to the bottom of my chest armor and the top of my bund to keep the connection tight. I'll get the rest tightened up and try to get some photos during the five minutes of daylight tomorrow! Lol

 

Thanks again!

My only nitpick is the bund is going below the belt. In the movie, the bund was at the beltline and in several shots you can see it ABOVE the belt. But most people make bunds that are too long so that's pretty common.

 

Should be an easy pass for basic!

It's looking great and it's mostly just the fitment. It's an easy pass!

Lookin good trooper. I use suspenders that I made so they don't cross in the middle of the back. They hold my bund up into my armor with no problem. I've lost some weight so I don't use my belly to keep that in line anymore. The suspenders help a bunch. Warning, if you go with walmart ones, make sure they're under the vest so that you don't seen the big tan leather part at the cross.

To address the feedback I've received, I have lowered the pouches by one inch, adjusted some armor fit locations, and then took some better photos to make things easier on the GML. Here's round two!

I think I will need to do some Velcro to the underside of the hard armor and then to the flight suit to help keep it all in place.

 

Now to scrape off that pesky white from my knee rivets!

Thanks Spike, it's really great armor!

Ha! I read that with an Aussie accent :lol: It looks great and it'll be an easy approval. Nice work trooper! You also reminded me that I have to scrape the white paint off of my knees too! Submit that armor and get back to base!

Looks Awesome! Being new to this whole mess, its nice to see how a full grown scout looks in his armor! I'm a little TOO full grown, so it'll be interesting to see what my options are for armor. besides losing weight. :rolleyes:

I've seen both big and little scouts. Everybody said that spike's armor was the best if you are a bit on the heavy side and I'm 5'10" and 225. Fits without many mods. I'm sure you can find something that'll work!
