Wow! You got a lot done!

I like what you did to the inside of the shoulder piece. Used wood sticks to keep the piece from warping.
Your 1 step ahead of mine. I did'nt do that on mine and yea it warped.

Fold are good, considering your using a wooden ruler. With a metal one, you would see an improvement and ease in those folds.

Nice to see them resined and warping looks to be at a minimum

I'd say keep going.

(not trying to put down your very nice armor)
A few more thing that my armor will have over yours is that
1) the helmet will be AI intergrated. Once my AI is inserted into my helmet in will complete a cicuit and will turn on the flashlights.
2) I will have a speker in it to be albe to play music. ([pretty sure you said you had this]will also likely put in a PA system)
3) there will be magnets in the right thigh and back so i can mount the weapons on it and have the same look as the game.
4) maybe some metal plates in the boots so it sounds like my boots are made of metal not paper and fiberglass.

Small picture update. Will replace LD helmet and chest with HD parts. Left toe has the first bit of fiberglass. Will post more pics when I have more to show.

Everything looks good with what you have completed so far, looks like a whole MKVI suit to me, but It will look good with the HD chest and helmet also, keep up the great job

[chitwood1775]

I use LD parts for scaling and practice. Like I'm keeping the chest to practice and figure out where I'm going to split it.

First, let me say sorry for all the multi posts. I've had more updates then there have been comments and input.*

Now for the updates. I finished my HD chest about a month and a half ago.

Please note that the warping looks much worst because of the lighting.*



I also decided to remake the had plates.*
