Nice work, just on your TD I would try to get the ends to curve flat, (if you really wanted too make another set the screw holes go further to the ends) ;)

Will any new photos just try to be aware of gaps between the armor sections, try to get them to match on both sides, also watch the closure on the rear shins, one appears slightly open.

 

Great job on all the fixes, SDS does need quite a bit of work to get it screen accurate and you have done well.

 

Good luck with approval

I can unfortunatly not do that, the clips and screws are actualy glued on as my first holes were way too big and don't have any more material to fix it. I fear the glue would go up as I would try to curve it a bit more. Thanks though. :)

Great Jonas! Overall looks good, as Glen pointed some few details and you're sharp for approval. 

 

And yes, it happens sometimes that E6000 needs more than 24 hours to dry better.

 

In shoulder bell black elastic I have used Zap a gap or super Glue and works better to me.

I've been waiting for this day!  All the hard work has really paid off, sir, and you did a fantastic job on this armor.  If I could add my 2 credit's worth it would be:

 

1.  It may be the photo, but are your shoulder straps sitting evenly on the top of the chest plate?  If not, your GML may mention this.

 

2.  Your left one is perfect, but the right rear calf closure is a bit askew.  Should be just a simple dressing issue.

 

3.  At some point you may want to bring the paint at the ends of the frown up and out a bit.  Not a biggie, but something to consider.

 

                                             1.                                                                   2.                                                                   3.

Yep, I didn't close it enough

I took this chance to fix something else too, the SDS grey are not the same as the other greys. It was darker so I repainted it all, hopefully this is better. :)

Hi Jonas, you looks much better, the only things I can see :

 

1- It looks like your right shoulder bell has more gap than the left one. This could be just a dressing issue or need to  
shorten the the strap connection.

2- Your left thigh looks a little high compared to the right one. this could another strap adjustment.

I think it's dressing issues, both of them, it can be hard to see how everything looks when you've got the stuff on and family have a hard time seeing that too. :)

WOW! Congrats!!!!

I have been offline due to work, and finally had time to check on your progress. You did an outstanding job.

 

Welcome to the TK ranks.

 

Hopefully when the world calms down your first troop will be amazing.
