The crunch continues. While the main part of the suit got shipped out today, I still have the helmet and hands to finish. I bought some gloves, not 100% on them. So I might try to find some tomorrow/today before my flight. Hearing and wireless mic have been wired up to run off a usb pack. I used...

Well, due to a freak reaction while I was trying to clean the ab plate, some paint on it got messed up. So to fix it, I did some black washing on it. I was not planning on weathering the armor before C2 E2 due to time stains, but there was no other option. I couldn’t have just the AB plate with...

I agree. I think the top one is too yellow.

Almost forgot the hands…I’ll make the finger tips eventually. Maybe… Really appreciate all the love

Had a bit of paint bleed past the tape on a few pieces. Got what I could cleaned up, but I’ll hide my crimes with weathering. All in all, I love how all of this turned out. Still need to weather, but worst case I’ll just be a shiney. Grinding away to be done in time for C2E2. I leave Thursday…...

I’m dying at this lol

Adulting got in the way of any real progress, but made some visors. I might try air brushing a hex pattern on the outsides too. Haven’t decided yet. I think I like the bottom one better, but can’t decide. It was one I started to dye orange a while back, and changed my mind. Both went through the...

Paranoid about using clear coat on the helmet before weathering. I don’t know how to go about it without dulling the metallic, but I’m also scared of pulling paint off during weathering. Soooo, I decided to pull some visors. First one I made I did a single run in orange, so it’s still fairly...

Oooooooohhhhh baby, I can’t put into words how stoked I am with how the helmet turned out. Lots of tape was harmed in the making of this paint job. Pulled paint off in a few small spots, but I’ll just weather them, and nobody will know. Still need to add a few small things, but couldn’t wait to...

This guy does!

Just keep your knife sharp, take your time, and don't be afraid to mess up. Each piece you build will be better than the last, so I advise starting at the bottom of the suit and work your way up. This way by the time you are to the torso or helmet, you are more comfortable and look a bit nicer...

Its funny, because this is what I normally tell people too. It was just crushing to have it seem to fail. I'm sure it will be OK, and I am still pressing on.

Man, I am fairly concerned. Our test pieces that we painted passed the flex test with no issue, but i just flexed one of the hips and it cracked when flexed out, and wrinkled when flexed in. it looks like surface cracks, and they are fairly small. Just bummed i guess. I'm still going to finish...

But make it a really bad photoshop, like a big generic sticker style of his helmet that is obviously out of place

I am pushing hard to have it done for C2E2, yeah, I should be done in time. I keep remembering extra things that need to be done, but I am staying positive with it. Yes, they are blue light filter, Prizm Gaming lenses from Oakley. I am probably going to re do the neck seal in fabric for...
