Well crap....
Yeah... I guess it's been a while since I've been on your thread Lil. Well worth the wait!
It's people like you that make me lose sleep, itching to get back to work!

Thank you all so much for the continued support!!!
This week has been hectic at work, but I've been painting all day today so I should have some finished parts to show you guys tomorrow! Hooray! In the meantime, some overdue responses...

! I'm planning on adding a fan at some point, but I'm not sure if I'll get to it until after Halloween. I did put six vents in the helmet though, so hopefully those will be somewhat effective until I can get a fan in. As for the hot/coldgear I'll definitely have to check it out! And I'll be sure to get some Halloween pics!
! But in all seriousness, I probably won't show my face...I'm weird and like a certain amount of privacy on the internet. If you need a face, just imagine Boomer from Battlestar Gallactica...she's my closest celebrity doppelganger, lol.
Thanks guys. I'm excited to get it all painted, too!
. Spaceg0st and I are both in SoCal, so it's possible that different areas carry different stock.
Thank you Dhamone!

Thanks vshore! I used a combo of airbrush, sponge and brush. Apparently, I like to be complicatedAwesome work as always lil. Did you use an airbrush to apply the acrylic or just brush it on? the paint work looks great by the way.
Finished build pic's are out of this world.
As to the paint. Well lets just say the color combinations are working very well. starting with the base coat and working up to the high and low lights, along with the ware is most impressive. With looking at all the detail you put into this build the paint job will just be the icing on the cake.:cool
Side note: I'd love to see a bigger pic of the suit up if possible. :cool
Thanks thorn and carpathia! I will post bigger pics tomorrow!
Thank you plasauce! But ::gasp:: reveal my face?!? Then all my super powers will be rendered useless

It was given to me by a coworker who modded it. It packs quite a punch!
Thanks guys. I'm excited to get it all painted, too!I also got mine at Lowe's (they have both spray and brush-on). I haven't checked Home Depot because Lowe's is closer

Woohoo, it's Update Time!!!
Most of the little pieces are pretty much finished (decals/text still need to be added in some places). For all of the pieces, I'm following the same painting method I used for the test handplate from my last update:
Handplates:
Knees:
Shoulders:
Arms (missing the right forearm):
Spine:
Ab:
Thighs:
The rest of the pieces have some paint on them, but it's just a base coat (so it's not very exciting to look at). Hopefully I can wrap them up in time!!!
Oh, and as requested by thorn, here's a bigger shot of the suit up (before I started paint):

So much to do, so little time! Keep buildin' guys

Awesomeness alert!
That detail is exquisite. Your skill is quite clearly shown. Absolute awesomeness. There is now a real requirement for a godlike section.

Skill Level......Epic
Foam............Epic
Armor...........Epic
Paint............Epic (side note: love the texture)
EPIC WORK of ART (set at the highest level)
I second this!!!! Is there anything you CAN'T DO? :cool Looks Spectacular!!!!!!
Yup. Still in love with this entire build! It looks awesome Lil! I can't wait to see it all put together and finished, It's absolutely mind blowing just broken down into pieces. Definitely have found the motivation here to start really devoting my free time into my build. Great Job!
Also, I'm sure this is somewhere in the thread, and I looked through to try and find it but didn't see it anywhere. How did you manage to get the actual edges of the foam so clean? I've been working on mine and that seems to be my biggest problem so far. A friend told me I could just sand it out, but I wasn't sure how well the foam would hold up to that.
