Boots look awesome. The thighs are coming along great as well.

Spartans aren't born, they're built, thru blood, sweat, and tears. And maybe a little Fiberglass.

As many may know, there is a detail missing from the side of the thighs that is pretty obvious, so today I focused on getting this detail added...
I cut these from 1/16" thick mat board (like I do most of my details)...
I attached them to the thighs with hot glue...
...and coated over them with spot putty...
As soon as the putty dries, I'll sand it down as well and the thighs will be ready for paint!
That's it for now.

I like it. A lot. Keep at it, I cannot wait to see more!
Did you scratch-build that detail or did you dig up a template online somewhere? Either way, it is looking good.

Nice way of adding the dtail, looks good

The detail pieces were scratch-built by looking at reference pictures of the in-game armor.
I worked on my thighs a little more tonight. I managed to get them as far as getting the silver coat onto them. Here's a pic...
And here is a pic showing how they fit my legs...
And one more of the added detail...
Tomorrow, I'll be able to finish up the main paint job (get the next primer layer down, then the armor color, then two coats of flat clear coat). Then on Monday, I'll distress it and get to work on the inner thighs and the strapping. After the thighs are finished, it's onto the cod!
Edit: 19,000+ views. Nice.

Ha! I doubt that since it seems that all you have left for your suit is the boots. The rest of your armor looks amazing though!
Got another update. As I said I would, I got the thighs painted up tonight. The clear coat is on and will dry until tomorrow night, when I will distress them and start to work on the inner thighs. Once the inner thighs are complete and attached, I will get the lights and strapping installed and the thighs will be complete! Here are a couple of pics...
And I just need some extra opinions. I've been fiddling around with the size for my bicep pieces. This is only the second size I've tried, and I think I have it. What do you all think (this is a Low Def tester BTW)???
It looks about right to me, but a few extra eyes couldn't hurt.
Anyway, that's it for this update.

Your build is coming along quite awesome! Loving the undersuit
As for the scale, I'm not very knowledgeable about the Mk VI so I can't really offer a whole lot of input...but I'd just be sure that your undersuit can fit comfortably underneath. It looks like it may get a bit tight along the bottom, but it may just be the photo.
Excited to see more!

There is actually quite a bit of wiggle room at the base, so my undersuit should fit, well, under it nicely.
