The Kama Looks too short.
And if you got a longer one and it is still off colour then wash it a few times so it will bleach out a bit.

The Kama should be spaced out further. It does not come to a /\ at the belt more /````\ style that goes to the knees.

Ok I've got a couple questions on the Kama.

After looking through dozens of WIP threads it appears there is a little variation in the width across the front.
With that in mind here is the question.
For reference I'm looking for a visual point to go towards.
Some of the pictures show the kama as going to the outer sides of the thighs (middle) and no further.
Some show the kama as wrapping around till it meets the front of the thighs in the middle.
And I've seen a couple that split the difference and barely go around the thighs to where it passes the
outside of the thigh and stops around the midpoint between the front most portion of the thigh and the side.

To better get an idea think of a clock. I'm going to use the left thigh as a reference here.
Imagine a cross section of your left thigh as you look down at it.

(hey folks I've got to be this detailed so there is no confusion.)

12 o'clock is the front middle of the thigh.

So with that in mind should the kama (left thigh) wrap around to 9 o'clock?
about 10:30?
Or 12?

Also I've a rather high waist which means that the kama will probably be longer on me than on most. But that's
neither here or there.

Now for the second question. (Length)

For approval there appears to be some variation also. So rather than having to rework this a dozen times and
for the sake of clarity...

Should the Kama reach the top of the back of the knee?
The middle of the back of the knee?
Or the bottom of the back of the knee?

I will post another message regarding boots. Shortly.

Now a quick question regarding boots...

For reference I'm aiming for level 3 on this build.

Will these work for T3 for a shadow guard?

I'm thinking they're definitely going to fit properly and be the correct length etc but they're not english riding boots.
It's a total pain trying to find them. But that is part of the fun huh? Anyhow if any of you know of a good spot
to snag those leather officer/riding boots please PM me with the locale.

Thanks a ton.

Ok so according to that picture the kama should reach just past the outside of the thighs and down to the knees.
That sound about right?

Thanks so much for linking the 3D model. It has helped me and my friend rework the kama as well as the undersuit and misc armor bits. The belt and Gauntlets are on order and will be in soon. Cannot wait to post the updates.

Gauntlets, Boots, and Belt are in. The belt had the rivet so I had to modify it so that it meets standards. Uploads are planned for the next couple days. I'm really eager to show you folks how it has all turned out so far.
