ImperialLoyalty342[501st] Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 Good job completing the costume! I noticed that the belt is very low. It should be right underneath the last button on your stomach. Also the left shoulder bell is far too gapped from the chest piece. Make sure you keep your shins aligned with the thighs. On the back there should be a minimum gap between kidney plate and back plate, almost like one line; no overlap. This is a good start. I’m sure others will be able to help you further, I will be checking back. Good luck! Quote
lucnak[TK] Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 Hi Cody, I agree with Mason's points above. You should wear your belt higher, ideally sitting right at or slightly overlapping the ab button plates. Your back plate could definitely be worn a bit high to minimize overlap with the kidney. Ideally, the top of your kidney plate should align with the top of your ab/cod plate. For your helmet, you could do with extending the frown paint further (reference photos below) and your tube stripes are sitting quite low (far away from the "cheeks"). Your canvas belt is a bit too long and ideally should end behind the TD. Your holster could also be moved closer as it should sit more on your left side, but I find it a bit difficult to see how far away from the ABS belt it is attached. Some small adjustments to make and nothing critical! Hope this advice is helpful to you! Quote
snipedoc2001[TK] Posted December 18, 2019 Author Report Posted December 18, 2019 Definitely agree and many thanks. I realized the tube stripes were too low too late and ordered another set off trooperbay. Making the grey frown longer is an easy fix. Started working on the belt to make it shorter. Saw some people using snaps to hold the belt in place and thinking about it. I am just wondering if the biceps, shoulder bells and forearms are too big. I didn't trim anything down but they feel big and long when I wear it and not the most comfortable. Thanks again! Quote
