@Venture: Thanks! Next few days is the last sprint to finish!
@Thorn: Thanks! Hopefully I'll make it in time...
@Longshot: Thanks!
@Pip: No I didn't make a vac-former. I'm hoping to shape the visor some other way... Hopefully it works.
@Zach: Thanks! Yeah Pilot's my fave.
@Matth: The red squares indicate the area of where it's cut, and the yellow line is where the cut actually is.
The top of the torso, that seam was pretty well hidden and turned out well. The back sections, it shows a bit of a gap; because when I was resining the strapping on, I was a dummy and it was sloppy... So yeah. Longshot sent me earth magnets, but I ended up using velcro for the strapping. I'll post pics later of how I did the strapping. Or make a video tutorial, idk. But all I know is that the strapping is on there for good and it's super sturdy.

Yeah there's still a stomach piece I have to make that'll cover up some of that blankness.

I did mine to the last second. Literally on the day of the release of REACH. Ahhhhh... such stress and excitement all at the same time.
Seriously Hyo! It is really coming along super well. Glad you found an alternative to using the magnets. Due to your time constraints, I would have done the same thing. Velcro is quicker to install.
Keep going! Your almost there.
Hey I caught a little bit of you sewing your handplate on stickam...That was pretty neat for a first timer! But I still got this little question nagging at me (or you). Where is the connection being made; what are you sewing through? Is it some fabric glued to the armor or is it foam or what? I believe you can make it in time for PAX! GOOD LUCK Wait a sec...Spartans make there own luck, so nevermind, just make the luck last!

I resined some pieces of webbing to the back of the handplates, then sewed the webbing onto the glove.

Added a personalized touch to my armor:
And my helmet as of today... Putting in the side part of the visor right now. Sand, maybe a little spot bondo, then paint and helmet will be done.
