I see what you mean. I don’t have much experience with armor personally. I’ve only made it once. From what I made, using trapezoids and using slightly different colors helped a lot. Additionally, half ellipses were good to round off a segment or trapezoid.

Gigan is 50x better at armor then I am and would have a lot of advice. I would recommend referencing his work.

Additionally, while they make different armor then what you’re making, Scout and Explosive Bullet figures are also good references.

Good luck with the figure.
