Building my first armour

[Dregen]

Hi Dregen

First of all there is actually no CRL for the Phase 1 (Sideshow) Captain Rex yet. The link Cyclops has provided is for the Phase 2 (Sideshow) Captain Rex which actually does have a CRL. 
This could make it difficult for approval. I would check the CTD forums for further information. 

However here are my thoughts if that is useful:

Armour kit. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Takanoart?ref=...ugg_market

I have never heard of Takanoart before, their armour looks like mid quality at best and I'd almost dare say it's recast. 

A few things I noticed:

- Back plate detail is not approvable
- Com pad is not approvable
- Two rear belt boxes are not approvable. 

The details are all too sloppy, and enlarged on those items. 

- Butt plate is missing material needed to make the side tab. It is possible to add material to create these, but it is just extra work. Other sellers have butt plates with this included. 

- I also don't see a belt kit listed, he has the belt boxes but not the actual belt. So it would have to be sourced elsewhere. 

- His prices are also very expensive, my vote is that this kit is a waste of money. 

Helmet

Is that a Dave's Custom Creations helmet? If so it is actually approvable. 

Neckseal

Looks like a Darman neckseal. He makes excellent neckseals, good choice. 


Undersuit

As I said recently to another recruit. Do not buy this undersuit. It is wool and will be too hot, you will die. Buy black active wear, Aldi sell it when they have it in. 


My 2 cents.. get a kit from Imperial Surplus or Chris the Prop guy when he opens his store again.

Mate your an apsolute legend , thanks for the feed back beyond helpful i'll keep an eye out for what you recommended and will also check out those other forums as well. again thank you
