Without seeing the final costume product I cannot say wether a piece would be approvable with certainty.

hi virateck, can you take more photos of your shin armor (and in different angles) for stripes and the other guys to look at?

Just the photos of a raw kit aren't going to make the determination on something being approvable or not. It is the finished product, when worn by the individual that determines whether a costume is approvable. The reason for this is someone who is 5'6" and 150 lbs is not going to use the same pieces for a costume as someone who is 6'3" and 265 lbs.

I think he already has the finished product (trimmed, painted, and hopefully approved by a local GML). I was referring to that not the kit version. If you also have zoomed photos of you in your shin armor, that would be great stripes

I don't have a shadow guard. I am sure there are many others who would be happy to help out in showing what they have done for their shins.

That ab plate looks a little narrow in relation to the Chest plate.

I concur.... far too narrow in comparison to the standards that have been applied for other costumes approved to CRL standards.... the Kama is also not to CRL specs... just as an FYI
