Looks good!

I had a construction helmet liner and it gave me headaches, so I ended up removing it and going with helmet pads.  Just a thought!

I thought as much. We use padding in our flight helmets at work and my head doesnt hurt nearly as bad with that as it did when i use to wear construction helmet liners in my old prop helmets. Thanks for the input!

My preference is padding over the hard hat liner for similar reasons.

Get prepared for a load of images to drop! After months of waiting I have finally received my boots from Gio! These things are absolutely amazing quality and I could not be happier with them! After riveting the holster on and throwing a little weathering down I will make sure to post plenty of pictures now that I am nearing completion on this finally!

So I got to take some test pictures yesterday. Here are some things I notice off the bat:

1) I know that the chin cup is showing that's because my wife adjusted the chin cup when it slipped off and put it fully underneath my chin instead of simply on it. I'm not worried because it's just a test photo. 

2) I still have the "combat camel toe". Adding a plastic strip to fix this. 

3) the shoulder armor needs to be rotated back some. 

Please continue to give constructive criticism so that I may make as many adjustments as possible today. This will include velcro on the flight suit after I find the correct placement for everything. 

 

Thanks Guys/Gals!

Looking good. A couple of dressing issues to keep in mind as you plan the placement of your Velcro for your final submission photos.

Once you rotate your shoulder bells back, the biceps should line up with the bells so that they are centered.

For your forearms, they should be centered on the V of your gauntlets, which will rotate them forward. They don’t align with the biceps and bells.

On the right profile shot, is that black Velcro appearing between the gap between your faceplate and bucket or is it the chin strap? Try and make sure that it’s less/not visible when taking your submission photos.

Keep up the great work! Finish line in sight!

Sweet, thank you for the tips on lining up the armor! As for the black showing on the helmet it is the velcro. I got some white velcro to replace that and ill just have to make sure the faceplate is fully closed when i take final pics.
