SUPER SUPER LATE FINISHED SUIT UPDATE TIEM

SORRY FOR THE SUPER LATE UPDATE, I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF STUFF (MOSTLY HALO 4) BUT I DID FINISH IT IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN AND IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE!

Obviously i had to re-do the thighs, since they were the first things i built and they honestly sucked ass. the new ones came out really nice.

I USED AN OLD DRYBRUSHING METHOD THAT I PICKED UP FROM THE WORK I DID IN WARHAMMER MODEL PAINTING. I THINK IT REALLY PULLED THE WHOLE SUIT TOGETHER AND I'LL DO A TUTORIAL IF YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED:

LOL!!!! Ninja Poster!!!! I really like the paint. Guess I spoke too soon a bit ago when I posted. Everything looks good. Can't wait to see you all suited up.
 
Perhaps could have done a bit better on reducing the joints/gaps between pieces, but otherwise - the paint scheme looks great!

Thanks for the great advice. there are definitely gaps and it looks unclean, and i thought the hardening method would be able to fill those gaps. I've tried cutting the foam at angles, but the knife i'm using just isn't sharp enough. What would you recommend?

if your having trouble with the foam use an xacto blade and soldering iron makes it so much easier
