I've installed Velcro since this pic but am at a forced pause for the time being. The lid on my contact cement was loose and I knocked over the bottle and dumped the whole thing. I have more, but it's right in the center of my cutting mat and there's a lot on my hands too >.<
Got yourself into a sticky situation there.  |

Got yourself into a sticky situation there. Yes Lady Rev got overexcited and started to rush...that's an easy way to come unglued! Slow and steady wins the day. Looking magnificent though. |

Nah, I kicked it while I was moving the armor to the mannequin and didn't notice XD |

Liking what you have so far, LR
Reminds me that I have some 'issues' I need to work on before September with my own gear

I just finished installing the snaps buckles and assembling the belt on one side. Working on the other now and I'm also going to put some velcro on the back of the center part of the bent to keep it in the proper position. Will post pics soon, once I finish!  After that I just have to figure out the jigsaw of 3 side pieces then add a hidden side closure, secure the front strap clips and O-rinds, make the upper mantle and attach the hood, then do the bracers/hand guards. |

Belt and weathering done! Little side pieces are connected. I just have to attach them to the main part and add hidden losures

Wednesday is the deadline for me. I'm submitting the costume so I can use it for a Saber Guild event July 5th where we're presenting honorary Saber Guild Membership to Jason Isaacs at Florida Super Con.

UPDATE: So piecing it together, I had a sneaking suspicion this would end up being the case, but I've since confirmed that I'm going to reed to recut and redye two of the side pieces so the armor will close properly. Seems like it will be easy enough to do, but I'm hoping it doesn't set me back too much for my deadline  |

Thanks! It's the two panels that look like flaps sticking out from the sides near the top in the images. I noticed mine ended up a bit different shape than the reference images (I had assumed curving accounted for it) but I see now that it's going to be better just to redo them altogether. The good news is it's an "easy" fix, it will be more accurate to how it should look from the game, and it will end up fitting better! I think I originally made them like that trying to account for arm movement on the mannequin, but that was before I had the sleeves now as clear markers. |

UPDATE OF UPDATE: the piece under it is also going to have to be re-cut to accommodate the new size and shape, but this one isn't attached thankfully. Hopefully, I'll have all of these fixes done by the end of the night so I can start the bracers. O-rings have also been secured. |

Just started the bracers. Reminds me why making bracers is such a pain in the a** without a second person there to measure and help fit (and who actually knows what they're doing).
