Really, really well done. One of the best I've seen by far. Extremely glad I got to see this.
Weirdly I've only just come across this, and have been active for quite a while.
Regardless, excellent work.
I modified the knee guards to be attached to the shins. I bent a metal piece so the knee guards are sticking out. I used thick layers of Free Form Air epoxy putty to attach everything together. I tested the durability and its good.
I have repainted my carter helmet and I have fully prepared it for molding and casting. I did not add any weathering or extra detail in the paint. I used satin so the rebound 25 will easily pull from the helmet.
