I finished the hand plate today, I just havnt taken a picture yet.

(btw, does anybody know where the the torso bit attachment goes?

I know the chestpiece is a little off, but thats cause its leaning against the stairs and im using a lighter cardstock so it bends a little easier

Really nice mate. I see you opted for the HD models and they're looking mighty crispy. As for the torso bit, that has to be attached with straps or the sort. I think Flying Squirrel left that piece separate for flexibility in the abdomen.

I see lots of warping or dimples in the pieces. What weight paper are you using? I use 110lb card stock.

Otherwise excellent pepping. Good folds, straight lines.

Cheers!

Ya I noticed that too, especially on the chestpiece. I dont know exactly what the weight is but I know that its really light so its sags easy. im goin to get some popsicle sticks later today to fix the little mishaps. Cause the reason why the chetpiece bottom structure bar is that warped is cause I folded the one side better. (and I just figured that out today too lol)
