So after a year or so, I finally had incentive to finish part of the suit. This insentive came to me yesterday. at 3 o'clock. and I had made no progress since last year. soooo I had 7 hours to look sweet so I could wear some thing to school. I did it. over 7 hours, I made both arms, painted everything, and strapped it all up to make it last through one school day pretty well. I was even able to let people try it on! anyway, im sure all you want are pictures, so:

Post your comments and criticisms below! maybe ill fix some stuff! or eventually make shins in another 2 years lmao.
 
Great work man your suit is turning out great. You have to get the shins done, but in good time, no need to rush things. I hope you do cause would be great to see it all finished :)

Thanks man! and I will eventually, I mean, it took two years for me to start it up again haha, from 14, to 16 now! I love your tutorials and ironman build by the way! cant wait to see how that Mk V turns out!
 
You should totally finish the armor! I've been on my CQB armor for three years (I think, lol) so I know how it is. Keep building on it. We'd all like to see your finished suit! :D

I might! im currently working on an ironman suit for next year, plan to make it shoot silly string at crowds during football games

i'm 12 and i'm building a odst suit..

that's really impressive! keep on it! Ive been making costumes for 6 years now and every suit ive built have helped me get to where I am today! hope to see a thread by you sometime soon!

I never posted pictures of the painted helmet! well, some info on it, it was made to fit 14 year old me. now im 16, and have a remarkably bigger head. it doesn't fit anymore :/ thought id paint it so I could display it with the suit! I never fiberglassed it, resined it, even smooth casted it, I just hotglued some foam in there so it keeps it shape while I paint it! I probably ownt be getting a visor anytime soon, so I may just spraypaint the paper one a chromish blue. eventually.

Pictures!
