Shenango Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Going for basic approval presently, then P.O. later. Waiting on my bucket to arrive but wanting your feedback before making my armor dirty. See anything glaring? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Good morning I would decrease the diameter on the forearms and biceps. They both look quite large and should be fitted more closely. The return edge also looks very large (picture from behind), this is only a few millimeters in some cases. I wouldn't make the cutouts on the thighs and shins so angular, but shape them more like a semicircle. Otherwise I like it. PS Your pouches are still ok for basic (also depends on your GMO) but for PO you should have accurate leather pouches.

Shenango Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 I will make the corrections. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenango Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Bigwam, before I make any permanent cuts, I photoshoped what I think you suggested. Trim the inside of the forearm and round off the edges behind the shins and thighs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hello David, I've attached pictures for you as an example. On the forearm I would shorten the return edge down to 5 mm. The cut-out on the upper and lower leg is almost a bit big, so not much can be changed, except to round it off. Attached is a picture of an original armor and mine, it's slightly rounded there. Just make sure it's not quite as angular anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenango Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Sounds good, thanks. Do you think I need to glue on some cover strips? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 If I understand correctly, to make the cut-out smaller? I don't know if that gives a good result. In my opinion the neckline is too big. Just try to round off the neckline and make it more attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenango Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Will do. Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenango Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 I trimmed the cut-outs to round them off & make them less angular. Hopefully this is approvable for basic. I didn't want to cut much more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
