Looking good for a First build. I would suggest changing out or sharpening your knife blade much more frequently will help with your edges a lot. And or if you have few spare dollars run down to the craft store and get a hot knife. Still have to clean and reedge the blade frequently but not as frequently to say the least. And never stop building. Wear it to an event for a day or so and see how it behaves. How it fits and feels and then after the event come home and decide if you want to make adjustments and go to town. My armor has been rebuilt in some fashion after every con I have been to and or I have come out of a con with the plan to rebuild sections. I havent gotten as much work done this year as I would of liked between the 2 cons I did. So keep working keep building and your skill will keep getting better.
