Alright, I think I'm ready to call this one finished and start working on my Mark VI suit. I darkened up few parts here and there, and added some silver in a few places to give it a more worn look. Anyone have any suggestions for me on how to improve the quality of my stuff in the future...

Your build is coming along great! I think the armor looks perfectly sized for you, too. Keep up the good work.

Looks great so far!

All colored! So, that's the current state of my helmet. I'm not totally happy with how the painting turned out. Tomorrow I'm going to try to add in some dark color to the more detailed parts to make them show up better, and do some sanding to add a little more...
