Hi guys!

 

So I finished my helmet a little while ago, and I've been very impatient to complete the rest of my armor. So I got some help from two Biker buddies of mine and we built my entire armor in 4 days. I'm really proud of the result! Let me know what you think :)

 

PS: My bund and pouches was weathered harder after these pictures, and I am also aware that my forearms are supposed to go a few inches over the gloves. New pictures will be taken :)

Pretty good. I'd raise those thigh boxes up a bit. Make sure those pouches are on the outside edge of the vertical ribs.

Your drop boxes are too low. They should only be an inch or two below the belt. Pull your belt up to meet the bottom of your pouches. Turn your arm armor more forward. In other words, try to make yourself look as much like this as possible:

Your back armor looks awfully low. I'm not sure if it's going to keep you from being approved but you might raise it and trim it at the shoulder bridges.

Yeah I know it's a bit low. Though I'm not quite sure myself if it will be approved or not. I have seen back armor being this low many times before, so I quess it will go through. But I will see what I can do about it anyway :)

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys :)

Hey bro. Pads need major adjusting, shoulders need to come up a tad, boxes come up a lot. Trim the shoulder strap to raise up the back armor.

I've done all the modifications now, and will try to take new pictures this afternoon :)

Ok, so I've done quite a few modifications now. I didn't have anyone to take the pictures for me, so I had to do it this way to give you guys a somewhat visual on how the process is going :)

 

Notice the dropboxes. In the three first photos, they are as I adjusted them. In the fourth pictures I raised them abit to see if that was more correct. I've used the Celebration 2007 Biker Pics thread as reference. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=17501&hl=%2Breference+%2Bpictures&fromsearch=1

 

Not done yet and have some things to fix, but I think it's getting there :)

Slide the buckles up so they are centered on the thigh box straps

 

Thanks! Beside from the thigh boxes. Does it look ok?

Yes, not too bad. Good work on your build. Raise those drop boxes and you should be set.

Thanks Jim. It's a relief to know that I'm close :)

Looking good trooper! Seems the others have pointed out the boxes and buckles, so no need to harp on that. You're about ready to kill some Ewoks brother!
