Shins can be tricky. Most convention centers have ADA access such as ramps and elevators. Being aware of where those are in armor is good to know!

I still need to figure out which utility and wrist attachment I want to use. I do plan on makining a new Grenadier helmet with a color scheme that matches in game. Eventually I'm going to learn how to sew and make the undersuit, for now I'm using my MK V B undersuit.

For the knees I JB welded buckles onto the back then glued padding on top. It wasn't mentioned in yesterday's post, but straps were added to the back of the shins. Today padding was added. Here are the boot, shin, and knees together. For the belt a velcro strap was made to tightly secure...

With my flight for C2E2 in 3 days, a lot is happening fast. I glued the top and bottom half of the chest together then welded them. Normally they would flex with strapping, but with the AAP/kard plate they wouldn't be able to flex. With the help of my dad, we sewed straps for the chest and back...

That's probably a good idea. I just haven't seen semi-gloss at Home Depot. I'll have to try that out!

With my current schedule, right now was the only time I had to add the clear coat. It's night, but there's no wind and I have a head lamp! This is the clear coat I used. I only applied 1 layer. This is just enough to protect the armor without making it too glossy. I still want a little gloss...

I was thinking Chief, Kelly, Fred, and Linda Blue Team lol

Today the loops for the back piece were super glued together then welded with a 3d pen. The full armor set was washed with brown acrylic paint (burnt sienna), but the brown is subtle. Here are some parts where it is more visible. The ends of the wires on the gloves were tapped together with...

The rest of the armor has been blackwashed! I'm really happy with the chest attachment so far

For assembling the Millwood gloves, the first step was putting a disposable glove on, then the actual glove. This was so I could place armor on the gloves while wearing them and not get adhesives on my hands. The next step was to use shoegoo to attach the knuckles and hand plate closest to the...

I already know the Blender part is going to make my laptop explode but I'm saving this for when I get an actual PC!

Silver Rub'nBuff added to the full suit. Blackwash with black acrylic paint and brown acrylic paint splotches added to the hand plates. A light gloss clear coat was sprayed on top.

I painted the details on the handplates and glued the greebles on them. I also got tubes for the fingers! Here is the entire suit painted! Amazon links for the pouches, gloves, and tubes. IronSeals Tactical Cell Phone Holster Pouch, Tactical Smartphone Pouches Cellphone Case Molle Gadget...

The only thing stopping me from working on it today is the high winds not letting me paint lol. I did order some more supplies for the gloves. I'll male sure to post links for them once they come in and I make sure everything works! The undersuit won't be done in time for C2E2 so I plan on...

All the filling and wet sanding is done!
