Well I managed to finish it for Halloween, here is the result of my first ever attempt at pepping:
A few things I want to work on to make it better:
1. Re-do the boots to HD models so that I can just attach the pieces to real boots.
2. Re-do my calf pieces as they were too big, I didn't know that you needed to size them down and to have to cut them open to wear them.
3. Figure out a better way to keep my thigh pieces from sliding down my leg, it was a pain in the butt walking around as they would slide down, even when I clipped them to my waist harness, the thigh pieces would just pull the waist harness down.
All in all, happy that I was able to finish it and actually go through the entire process. Loads of respect to many of the guys on here who have done the same. And for those starting out like I did half a year ago, all I can say is take it one step at a time. You'll want to give up along the way, but if you just keep telling yourself to power through and finish what you started, you'll feel great when it's all said and done. Thanks to those who helped me with tips and advice on this! Couldn't have done it without you guys.
