Yea and it only sits high on the right shoulder because I have it raised so it doesn't completely cover the bicep with the boxes. Modding the right one to shorten it a tad and making the epaulets smaller. Just running into a tad of a problem after I took a chunk out of the middle to get them looking right.

It does look way better, I cant judge the shoulders until the epaulets are added, you can always change the way the shoulders attach when you add the epaulets.

remember that your epaulets should be dramatically reduced in their width to avoid them protrude beyond the shoulder armor. Check carefully the 360 reference to see what I mean.

I hate to be the one to say it, but your epaulets are still sticking out way too far. You may need to take off even more. It's my understanding that SB is kind of a big guy and he sculpted these based on his own bodystyle. I've seen these in person (and they are pretty huge) and I think for a smaller sized guy like yourself, you may need to take off as much as 2" inches (total) off the length.

I agree with RKD, they are way too big, dont know what to say about that in order to fix them. Also, for some reason I can't see if you have thigh pockets, the ammo strap on you right arm should be white and weathered, and dont forget the white straps from under neath your kama to you belt d-ring. Dont forget to paint the vent screen in your helmet black. For some reason, I am not sure if its the lighting, but your kama looks to be too light in color, it should match the armor color. Great progress!!!!

Bro as Will and dan have mentioned the mantle/ pauldron sticks out like a sore thumb. I had a similar issue and im like 6 '2" . Try to get it closer tighter into your neck before any major surgery. As i notice that they are drastically siting outside the cowl of the helmet . The guys here who reply are trying to help so please do not let the constuctive comments get to you . You are doing brillantly .

Ugh these pauldrons are going to be the death of me. I may end up either scratch building them or ordering another set from SB to modify. There is a metal bar in the middle of them to give them some support and theres no way I'm going to cut through it to shrink them even more with that metal bar. I'm shelving this project until after DragonCon.

Looking great dude, it's coming along nicely! I have to say that the new epaulets and shoulder fit much better and look more proportioned to your body than the old set...but then again I'm a bit biased lol  Keep up the great work |
