Looking good!
A couple of observations:
1. Kama is too clean. Does not match the rest if the weathering. And the weathering looks great on the armor. Gray coveralls could use a little dirtying as well.
2. The band on the bicep ( with ammo boxes) seems a little too wide and shiny. Should be a 1" belt or less diameter than what is present.
3. Need to see the backpack. This is required for 501st Legion approval.
Otherwise, you are right there...close to approval.

I agree with midniterider, I can't tell what the arm band is made out of, it that metal, it is too wide. Another thing that I can't see because of the kama is the thigh pockets on the pants. Also the forearms need to be rotated so that the triangle is lined up with the hand armor. Other than thoses things it looks really close for approval.

Back pack looks good, are you going to paint the black white and then weather?

At some point I may experiment with trying to pull those backpack frames in white styrene to see how they come out (I've tried in white ABS more than once and the results were not good...stupid webbing) although I'm really not crazy about using styrene either, I might make an exception for this piece. Will have to wait and see how well it works for this mold...it's a tricky thing
