Looks pretty good, but where are your biceps, ab plate, and boots? Also, how did you harden your Assault Rifle, cause I'll be doing mines soon. Oh and if you want to make it better I would get or make a neckseal, it really completes the whole look.
Edit: Never mind about the assault rifle, just read the WIP Just resin huh? No fiberglass needed? Guess that makes it easier but I'm planning to bondo mines up too, I cant stand warps even little ones.
*Dvine* In those two pix i did take the biceps off due to the fact i tore the holding clip inside during the party, was doing alot of moving up and down stairs while drinking, so i desided to lose the biceps before they got broke... the ab plate didnt fit right so i never attached it, it rode too close to the cod piece( a scaling issue of mine found out too late w/ the chest) and i did have a "neck seal" or yolk, but as stated i was moving alot and drinking so i wanted to be a little more comfortable. boots are on you just cant see them in this pic. As for the assualt rifle i just resined the outside to cast it up and help prevent warping, then i poured resin inside and sloshed it around til it cured. then i resined the outside again. when completed i had ONE tiny warp in the entire piece, the magazine well itself exspanded outwards a bit. but no fiber glass, i'll be sure to look in on your WIP if you make an AR. thx for the post **

Looks nice, you might want to spray some matte black on a rag and rub the recesses of your armour for that 3D pop effect.
*Dvine* Thx, i did rub some matte black on a rag and rubbed it down a bit, but when photographed the flash makes it look shiny. So i intend to go back and fix all the little details.
