Description It's still a relatively newish year, so I figured it was time to upgrade my look again for the first time since the fall of 2015.  Upgraded features include a much more realistically-shaped plume; somewhat darker gold elements and slightly more grayed blue elements; inward-sloping bottom tassets (upper thigh and groin protectors); gauntlets with round-tipped fingers and more distinct opposable thumbs, allowing for greater flexibility; and a more historically accurate gorget (neck piece), plackart (abdominal piece), and sabaton ankle rings.

With a plume this tall, one wonders how I'll be able to fit into COLT…but I have sat in a Mustang COLT's size before at a local auto dealer with plenty of room still over my head, so maybe adding a real helmet only would brush lightly against the ceiling?  I don't know.

So, enjoy my new upgrades, and expect Sir Robert's archenemy El Marqués Pasquale to get a tune-up and evolution chart soon!

Reminds me that wearing a Roman centurion's helmet in a modern vehicle would be a royal pain in the neck (literally, from the angle required!)

Cool deal!  So, if Nathaniel wants to make the face more realistic and less cartoonish, that decision is up to him.  If he decides to do so, though, make sure I have pale blue irises in my eyes.

In fact, you can drop by my Instagram feed (@sanfransentinel), where the real me has appeared in three pictures to date, to get a feel for how my real face looks.

This is awesome. Also, never forget the classic wear~ Sometimes, it's fun to go back. That 2014 one looks like it could be his swimming armor or quick-change armor. Even Mario goes back sometimes~

Sure! I could use the classic color scheme, but I'd have to redraw the visor so it looks less like a crumpled pizza box!
