went ahead a gave the thigh a quick spray so everyone gets a better idea of how its gonna look. not too shabby. still need to clean the red paint off of the rivets in the back.

inner outter

ok i still need to make the center silver part of the thigh and button it all together and what not. here's what it got so far, not too bad. outterthigh inner thigh back o the thigh holding it up to the boot(back
