I promise I didn't stop working on my armor. Still working on my arms and juggling school and being a stay at home dad.
But I have gotten this done..............
I like to tell them that making it is more of a badge of honor. If they get pushy, I give them a rough price of time (at $10-$15/hr.) plus materials. So when they ask how much for a helmet I tell them $600-$800.
By the way, looking great.
I have a variety of Pandora stations. Lately it has been my Halo station with the added variety of Boy Sets Fire, Empire of the Sun, and Seth MacFarlane. It's a great station that everyone should try.
