Just so you don't go too far into the build before this is mentioned, the back plate for this costume is not a standard TK back plate. The back is a smooth plate of armour without the TK box details.

Your front chest plate also appears to have very soft details, almost like it's a recast off of something else. You may want to consider a new chest plate with sharper, better defined details.

yes I know , I've said it , this is not for my armor , just test paint :) I will sculpt the back plate when other part will be done :)

Is the ab plate wide enough? Seems smallish?
