1st Build First Rakshasa Build

[Owstoon]

Hello!

I'm fairly new to the armor printing scene but I figured my first would be some kind of rakshasa--not a lot of armor to it, seems pretty straightforward.

I'm looking for feedback regarding the chest armor, which I've scaled down to 85% to appropriately fit me (I'm a bit of a skinny minny). While in pictures it looks like the armor barely reaches across the chest, I'm wondering if I shouldn't scale it up just a but more to look larger.

The biceps look like they're proper side but yes the chest plate does seem rather small.
To me it looked like in game it covered most of the chest/ribcage area. So I went from center collar bones to bottom on my ribs and about 90% side to side to allow natural arm movements across the chest

It's been a minute since my last update, but here's what I've gotten done in the meantime. The thighs and calves are a big on the bigger side (naturally, cuz I can't scale to save my life), but some EVA foam inserts make them fit fine. Only thing now is to figure out the buckles and straps.

Using Titlewave's Trapdoor for the suit. I think i might have to make the base chest bigger to make the proportions right, but I'm going to wait until I have a vest made up so I can see how it all looks together.

Very miscellaneous photo dump. I've gotten most of everything spray painted and weathered. I've gone with a sponge camo tan look. I got some straps and shoulder pads off Amazon that ended up working a lot better than I expected. Last is getting all the strapping and elastic business sorted out.

Ooof! looks like someone stepped in a little more than oil! Honestly love the weathering on this one I will just say this though I think on some of the flat surfaces its a bit much but over all I'm loving it! Honestly excited to see what you build next! also What exactly are you planning to build? I know its rakshasa but like I would like to see a concept!

The idea was to have a splotchy tan with the dark grey under but I'll probably have to hit it more with tan. I've been thinking about maybe throwing a poncho on or something similar (I love that look on armor), maybe some kind of recon-esque rakshasa. I know I at least wanna do a sniper/ghillie marine in the future.

Update: Got the pants and shirt to complete the undersuit. Decided to see how it'd all fit together and I think it's good for a first timer

Nice to see someone else doing the trapdoor attachment
