Overall, you're on teh right track but definatly some adjustments to be made.

The most glaring issue is the plates all appear to be about 1 template size too large. They definatly need to be scaled down.

The shoulders look like theyre attached well at the bicep but, not at all at the cap of the shoulder. They should be attached at the shoulder cap not at the bicep to ride properly.

Are you planning to put the right earcap on the helmet?

I'm knida indifferent about the police pouches on the belt. It's pretty recognizable and not really Swarzy. Probably would be better to swap them but, we'll see what other's think.

Oh, and WEATHER THAT KIT UP! It looks to pretty lol!

Good start just a couple of adjustments and you should be ready.

may I ask what you used for the armor plates? it looks like craft foam to me, maybe its just the way the paint looks in the sun.

yeah, I suggest trimming some of the borders on the plates to size them right.

those gaunts look cool from what I could see.

if that helm is scratch- built then thats a pretty good job.

the visor does appear to be colored with photo-shop or something, but again, might be just the sun because you can clearly see its a real visor in the facing left pic.

But so far, you are off to a great start!

wow! talk about illusions. 6mm is good stuff, I might up grade or make a new kit with it.

how is the mesh applied? what I'm asking is can you alter the plates to fit better with the mesh on it?

Not really.... It is glued to the back I would have to take it off and reattach.

Not a big RF guy. I am planning on keeping it with the current earcaps. ( Both sides the same basic earcap.)

Oh, and WEATHER THAT KIT UP! It looks to pretty lol!
Don't worry It will come :)

Yes it is, Thank you very much.

#5 Dark green face shield. I was quite suprised with how it turned out in the picture. :)

This is looking great!

I do feel like some of the plates could be sized down a bit. But it's better to be too big, then too small :)

Keep at it though, you really have come a long ways in a short while! the overall look of this kit is great! I'm glad that you stuck with it!

like eveyone else says, you're off to a good start. but i certainly agree with A'den and greatskydiver, that your plates need trimming down.

are the shoulders sticking up intentionally?

one thing I noticed about the plates being large is that your cod piece is massive compared to your frame

It provided for more of a movement in lifting my arms as they would overlap the other armor when I lifted my arms up.

300 other people don't seem to have a problem. I think it's just that they're too large.

Your soft goods look real good, looks like you're just a few tweaks away from official membership.

The cod looks almost like an upside down belly plate, it's not shaped the way most are. The photos have an odd quality I can't quite put my finger on, I think it's just a trick of the lighting. I agree that your plate are, overall, too large and I'll add that I personally feel the kama is just a touch too small, it should come around a bit more, it's barely visible from the front. I'd like to see the bright red sigils carry over to more of the armor, I think they give it a real nice kick, like an unexpected ingredient in an otherwise familiar dish.
