Looking great Jerred, a couple more areas to finish and you'll be ready to rock

Another try-on. This time I didn’t lose power in the middle of it! Lol
 Still got some trimming to do (cod is still way too big) and still waiting on my blaster holster ordered from @R2Dan. Then another fitting and hopefully finish adding greeblies and painting. So far tho...

Looking good Jared. On another note your COD looks a bit large in comparison to other sections of the armor. You might want to consider resizing it. Take a look at the CRL reference photos.

Progress report:

 So far I have pretty much roughed all pieces together. Going through some sizing and fitting mock-ups. I have placed my order with Geeky Pink for the harness, seals and shiny shorts. Picked up a set of gloves from Imperial Boots. Got my compression undersuit. I’ve also added fans to the helmet, and started to make the snap pieces to attach the cod and butt to the torso. I’ve constructed the belt also. Just need to find a way to keep the back part of the ribbed rubber strip attached to the belt webbing. It’s tricky because it needs to be able to be adjusted for size, so I cannot permanently affix it to the webbing around the back and side near the clip. I’ve tried Velcro but it doesn’t stay attached to the rubber. I’ll have to do some more research.

 Also, I’m already starting to get some cracks in the sides of the torso and the shoulder areas of the yoke. I’ll have to re-sand, fill and paint again.  So far the major flaws in this kit is that the parts that will be flexing the most, from just putting the armor on, are also the parts that have been pieced together and are structurally weak points. I wish that the torso and the yoke was one single piece of material for each.

 I’ve still got a lot of work ahead of me.

 

Thank you for the picture album. 

I was trying to figure out what the heck I was missing for the back piece. It was too darn short and couldn't for the life of me figure that issue out. Then I saw your pictures and figured that the parts I thought were the ankle wraps were the rest of the "ram horns"/Yoke.
