Some tweaking is in order, but it's complete otherwise.

made some modifications to the helmut and the hook on the helmut: the opening at the bottom cut more in the front and curled out more on the sides of the neck opening to better fit the chainmail coif. Reshaped the hook for the visor so that it locks in place, I shouldn't have a problem with the helmut coming apart anymore.

The Kidney belt: I'm going to make a place on it to connect the straps from the leg armor to it in a way so I can turn the buckles to the side as they are catching on the bottom of the breast plate turned to the front as it is now.

The breast plate: Adding an additional piece of metal to the bottom of the breast plate in the front to make a flare so that the bottom more easily slides over the top edge of the kidney belt.

Vambraces: add holes to the straps so I can make them tighter.

Gauntlets: Get some decent leather gloves to go inside , and shorten the thumb piece just a bit.

Looks like you've got a full kit there :)

I would point the legs on the side and in the front.

I'm interested to see how the gauntlets perform.

Good job :)

I agree, looks like they are too far to the inside.

I found that 2 sets of laces per leg works great.
