Just to note, that shiny, shiny snap on the shoulder, just above the bell has been painted black after seeing these pictures. Just haven't retaken them. (Would I need to get fully suited up, or can I just snap a shot of the strap?)

looking good, the only issue that should be corrected its the chest and back plate are riding very high (strapping malfunction perhaps?)

 

as you can see here on another AM build, the shoulders and shoulder straps should sit flush, yours are lifted up a few inches above the top of the bell and appear to be floating (not resting on your shoulder)

if you bring down the chest, back and they are riding too low (overlapping the ab plate too much) you might want to trim the bottom of the chest plate, but it may not be necessary.

 

other than that everything looks great! ;) just try a re-shoot with the minor fix and you should be good to go...

Yeah, that's definitely a problem I've been looking to fix.

 

My thought is that some pressure holding down the chestplate may help, so I'll see how that works out. (Currently, the only straps holding the chest on is the white elastic on the shoulders. I think having some elastic pulling the chest down towards the ab plate may work.)

 

I'll get that fixed up and reshoot asap. Thanks, Mason!

Update - new straps holding down the chest and a slight heat bend solved the problem.

 

New pics!
