Vaalin Amarante *finished*

[Vaalin Amarante]

Hey all, I didnt post alot of the armor in the wip area but as of yesterday (19 sep) Cando, Jarus and myself feel that im good to go

We noticed a few issues after getting it all on and walked around a bit (bout 2 hours in the full suit) to identify the "touch up" areas and have already addressed/fixed most of it already, pics were taking before fixxing the problems but heres a few shots for you all to look at and maybe find something we didn't. Or perhaps any other useful tips and or ideas, hoping to submit the photos in a couple days to get approval before our sac convention this weekend.

Overall, it looks good. Im guessing some of the "issues" were plate alignment and such? I would say once alignment issues are corrected you have a set ready to apply.

The only things I see needing fixin i'm certain Cando saw(some alignment and fabric bunching which looks caused by the alignment). The only other things I can suggest are a pair of knees (armored legs without knees can look funky, I know this from looking at my own suit!! Otherwise, I don't see any glaring CRL violations or such, so I think you are indeed 'finished'

Knees. That's about it.

Ya I have some knees, just hate wearing the things...ill try them out for a full day and see how I feel than hah,
one of the main issues was the pistol holster leg strappings, they were tight when first put on and after about an hour walking around they somehow loosened im wondering if from some material grabbing or what. And the alignment thing, the ab needs slight movement but the main thing was how the vest bunched up a little on one side causing the "off look".

So big question is can i submit the above 2 photos along with the 2 side photos we took as well and the helmet off pic for approval submission or will i need to redo the photos showing the minor fixes? Our big thing here was trying to get myself and jarus approved before our sac sci fi convention this weekend so we could officialy be a squad for the event, I can get new pics done it just wont be today and tomorrow isnt looking to good either. thanks guys for the feedback. And like i said before ill run a day with the knees at the con...see how i feel about it afterwards (10 years military and i refused to wear knee pads lol)

It would be best to make the suggested changes, take new pix and submit. If you submit the pix of the stuff being "off" it will just get kicked back and asked for them to be corrected.

His plates aren't mis-aligned, it's just a problem with his vest clasps, and the arm pits of his flight suit flaring out when he lifts his arms. All he has to do is cut out the pits, wear a black shirt, and/or change his clasps to something like laces.

Easy fix.
