Looks really good. Sorry if I missed it but what are your plans for an under-suit? I think I'll buy one like Longshot did, less work and it turns out well. My hat goes off to those that make their own though. Not done with the right hand plate yet?

THis looks really good. I have a question, did you dry brush the silver scratches or did you spray the whole thing silver then do an over coat and sand it?

As for the undersuit, what im wearing in these pictures is my undersuit. I know its kinda cheap, but its good enough for me. Its a pair of $10 running tights from walmart, a $12 tight fitting turtleneck also from walmart, and under the helmet Im wearing one of my most prized possessions, my COD Ghost balaclava from ballys.com! And yeah, I just need to finish up that last handplate and Im done!

I tried doing the silver undercoat thing, but I could never seem to get it to work right. Then I discovered dry-brushing and pretty much fell in love with it. Its so easy and creates such an amazing look. So yes, the whole thing is dry-brushed.
