Hiya mate, it's looking really great. I couldn't find a really good ref of Jays model in regards to the bottom of the pants so I could be wrong on this but it looks like the pants conform to the top of the boots just a little too much, especially on the sides.

Looks really good, doing well. You should have the scene files with the tutorial, have a look because that would be your best ref. Let me know if not and I'll send them to you for comparisonuser added image
