My Silver Timeline under armor is coming along nicely! Well at least I think it is.

One - Love the Ryobi magnifying light!
Second - Only about 200 more of these little greeblies to drill, counterbore and inset. Joy!
C - Someone please pass the Mt. Dew: Its going to be a long night

12 build days to the convention. I'm not targeting Halloween tonight or anything. Still just aiming at Supernova-Brisbane.
Today worked a lot on 'wearability'. Improving the self-dressing experience. Comfort. Range of motion. Fit and continued work on the Silver timeline undersuit elements.
Is there anything worse than a selfie shot in a mirror?

Love all the details your going to on the under suit bro! Really gives me inspiration to get back into doing my masterchief suit.

Does anyone mind if I leave this here for a bit, so it doesn't get dirty while I clean up the workshop so I can airbrush, weather and and distress this?

 

[FalseShepherd]

Holy moley it's beautiful! Amazing work as always!

You are always incredibly generous with the kind words. Thank you!
On to the distressing - because clean armor is for parade detail and raw recruits.
I haven't decided how far I want to go... Just dirt and grime and historical abuse... or are we talking fresh blood bath? Hmmm...

I know you're going to weather this, but there's also something that looks SO good with it in "like-new" quality. Like you just got back from the repair bay, or it's a new suit right off the production line.

True. But sadly **I** don't look factory new anymore, at my age.

So I need to make the armor look as old and haggard as I am. hahaha

 

[CosmoCornelius]

Okay fair! I'm a sucked for an in-universe explanation. Maybe it would be hilarious for a Spartan to have their "dress blue" set of armor

So... 3 days from the convention. Made a lot of progress today. Can anyone spot the issue with the progress I made on my armor?
