WIP on Revan (planning stage)

[henkaa]

Hi all.

I am in the starting phase on a Revan (it has been going on for a while, with some ups and downs in motivation, but now i am on it again). 

I was going through some ref pictures but do not get the complete feel on how it is supposed to look.

 

Here is a cardboard draft. Does it seem ok or are some of the proportions on it way off? (I know there should be more slope up top on the cuirass, I noticed that after cutting)

 

As you can see, the overlap between front and back pieces is way to big, but I go for that it is better to have some excess to trim than the opposite.

 

Also, I present a template on the mask. It is a bit crooked and needs some adjustments, that I know of

Ok. if I interpret this ref image, based on the upper left part, I should make the "Back armor" a bit longer, so it reaches the upper part of the front "Abdomen armor"?

And also make the "Kidney armor" a little bit smaller? (To maintain the 6" bridge)

Yeah they don't line up. It makes it weird.

[henkaa]

What do you mean exactly?

Is it just a state that it is weird that the pieces just do not line up, or is it the lineup of my template that is weird in some way?

And if it is the second, what can I do to fix the template other than what I have suggested in my reply with the attached ref image? (or will my suggestions in that reply be enough?)

Or do you maybe mean that it does not line up on the sides (where front pieces meet back pieces)? That is just my template that mess up big time when I put it together and that will be fixed when I build the final pieces  (I have made both front and back pieces extra wide so I have excess material to trim instead of by accident making a piece too small)

I just meant the game file design. The front and back armor don't line up in the center portion of the upper body, so it makes fitting things weird.
