As already mentioned nice job on those side shims! Very nice build

So cool! Great build

Lookin good, congrats!

Yes...always check first with local gun laws

I can't really add much to what has already been said but what I noticed is that you took off all of the return edge on the sides of your back plate....best of luck on your app

As mentioned above, it depends on the event. Some events have a weapons check area where they will look over your blaster and put a peice of orange tape on the end deeming it safe. A good rule of thumb is If you are walking around with a blaster then I would suggest ensuring that your blaster has an orange tip or orange tape of some sorts. If you are going to be just in a photobooth, then it should be okay to not have an orange tip on your blaster. Personally, I have never been harassed when I have followed this....hope this helps

I wonder if it is the material of the holster? I've seen this before and I believe it was a TM holster as well but I could be wrong. It should come off with a magic eraser, those things seems to remove everything!

Looking good! Need a pic of your forearm return edge

Congrats trooper!

Looking good!

Armour looks great!

Congrats!!!

None of what I mention below should hold your application back. Just my thoughts... In terms of fitting, your armour fits you very well however your left forearm looks bigger than your right. You can see the room you have to trim down on your left side pic. Perhaps a future project. The paint Jason mentions for you to put on your thigh ammo pack and TD screws are simply to be more accurate to the originals. The natural weathering looks awesome! I wouldn't polish it

Looking good! Good job on fixing that overlap

That's a lovely pink handbag you own, is it your e-11 storage case?...lol. You're armor is looking great!

Congrats!

Hey Takashi, great looking armor! One thing that I noticed is incorrect is your main button plate on your ab section. It is mounted wrong, it should look like this The other suggestions is to add a charging handle on your blaster and swap out the phillips screws on your TD for black slotted ones. Also you should look into fixing the overlap on your back/kidney plate. There is some overlap on the right side on your "back" photo. Best of luck!

I second that ^^^

Haha you got it!

Congrats!

Agreed, that is looking very cool!

Looks good to me as well, don't get discouraged when people are commenting on what you may need to change. Everyone has a different eye for different things that they notice and comment on. Steve has the final word on what you'll need to change before approval. Most of Jason's suggestions are minor mods that you may or may not have to do. Personally I don't find your side gaps distracting. I've seen a lot of troopers with this gap. What I noticed was that perhaps you can drop your thighs down just a bit to reduce the knee gap at the back. With the S trim, a lot of people hide the gap by having the two ends meet underneath the vocoder instead of having them meet at the back of the helmet where the gap is more visible. Good luck with your application!

There are a lot of good options out there. I recommend that you consider RS. They offer kits in both ABS and PVC and they are screen accurate suits. I'll let others chime in on other suits for consideration. If you want more info regarding RS then shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to help.

Looks like your shim on the right side popped out? I don't have any experience with shims so I can't really give my two cents. Someone else will chime in. I did notice however that it looks like your TD screws are Phillips instead of slotted screws, I don't think it affects your application but slotted screws are screen accurate. The vertical ab button plate may need to be trimmed down a tad so that it doesn't extend past the raised portion it is mounted on, you did it right with the main ab button piece. Looking good though! Great action shot, reminds me of the opening of happy Gilmore lol
