Alright, got the two shins all pepped out! Did my usual thing of adding little details all over the piece with cardstock and foam. Only super annoying part of this file: IT'S 4 FLOATING PIECES!!! Took quite a while to glue the 4 separate pieces together and not have any contortion or mis-shaping of the piece. Here are some pics!!

Remember what I said Marc your FUD is literally the only good looking FUD I have ever seen. All other FUDs are completely inferior in every aspect. No pressure lol

lol thanks dude. Though, Firstpick's FUD is really bad ass, and he scratch built the whole damn thing, which is way hard than what I'm doing.
So anywho, here's a random update. Got the boots pepped out and details added. This one was kinda bad cuz once again there are multiple floating pieces. Which is actually good for the boot design when translated to physical boots, but proved very irritating when scaling and pepping. I pepped each three of the floating pieces to a different scale, and took multiple tries to get them to look the right proportion. Check it:
Also, improvised some foam pieces to resemble the "clips" that are in four places on each thigh:
these will obviously get painted.
And lastly. here are the forearms all done!! Black washed, dry brushed, and red detail pieces added:

You know, a lot of builders sell themselves short when it comes to details and their own work. But your praise is truly earned. Many will simply take the files they get and pep at face value and seldom will go the extra mile for the small details. You have gone above and beyond a mere builder and have advanced to architect and you are inspiring others to to take their builds further as well.
Keep up the good work and the detailed updates.
And I know how it feels to start a build and have to put it on hold.

Wow, thank you, you guys. Your words are so flattering and very much appreciated. I didn't think any one would pay attention to this build, lol. But it inspires me to keep going and to finish it, as best as I can!!
With that being said, here's some more pics!!! Got the chest plate painted, weathered, and just finished the foam details on the center:
The foam details aren't perfect, but I'm fairly satisfied with them. Enjoy!

Soon, dude, soon! Still have to attach the ab plate, and finish the led's
Perfect is way better than what I can produce, but thank you so much for the compliment! I can't wait for it to be finished either, hahaha.
Thank you
I appreciate the compliment. Thanks!! I've never attempted blackwash or dry brushing. Hopefully I'm doing these techniques justice.
