To be perfectly honest, that is a badass suit and helm you've got there (at least what I can see from the pics!) I'd be happy to try my hand at modeling it, if you wanted me to (and if you released a couple of nice pics.) 
Keep up the fantastic work!
Cheers!

Sniperbass: IF you are up for it that is fine with me. I'll get some better helmet pics up as soon as you tell me what exactly you need.
Sithslayer78: i got the digital camoe effect by painting the whole thing a light blue base coat. After that dried i cut green masking tape into the shapes I wanted, stuck them on and painted the darker blue over all of it again. Took of the tape and it was there.
Alright so i got quiet a bit of done since my last updated. I finished the 2nd color on the thighs, shoulders, and one of the shins. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but is is such a damn pain in the ass doing it this way (totally worth it in the end result though). Anyway, more pics coming hopefully tomorrow when I plan on finishing everything that is left with color number 2.
My cutting board with all the damn tape:
Masked thigh:
Shin:
Shoulders:
Thighs:

its beautiful!!!! it looks really bad at the start (like a pile o' moosh) then you start to see the shape then its done !!! epic!!!
epic!!!Helmet:
DAm that helmet is beautiful. I read that you might make more too sell. If you do I would love to get 2 from you.
Probably, just not sure yet when. Hope I'll have pricing and whatnot up next week but I'll probably only be doing castings so you'll have to finish it yourself, because if I do a finished helmet it will be long and probably expensive plus I'll have a hard time fitting it to your head size.

My mind just can't accept that that beautifully sculpted blue helm was originally a pill of brown mush. Incredible job, can't wait to see more of it all together and worn.
I'm back from the dead so to speak. It has been a crazy few weeks since my last post and I'm sorry about that. I didn't get to work on it as much as I wanted to but I am now catching up again. I got one pic of a test fitting. The armor isn't completely detailed yet but I got some of it done. I'm hoping to finish more soon but given my messed up schedule I don't know when soon will be. Anyway, again sorry for the lack of updates but here is a good one at least.

I'n trying to get things together for a custom Jorge, How did you get your Visor and the rank ensignia those're sick. Great job on that Digi, how'd you get it to come out so even?
Sixxa: Thank you, i wasn't sure how that idea would be received since there weren't a lot of people out there that seemed interested in the custom thing.
Jster1014: the visor is actually two motorcycle visors that i cut and put together and the insignia was masked off an sprayed on with gold paint. The digital camou took patience, the trick i used is that i did it layer by layer. First the medium blue, then the dark blue, and then the light blue

I have an idea I might try that involves fishnet stockings, to give mine a reptilian look.
Jester1014: That sounds like a nice idea the only issue is that fishnet stockings will let the paint thought if you spray it so you might need to think of a way to make sure that doesn't happen.
It's finally time for some more updates. I started working on the damages and as always i work from top to bottom. I didn't use the 2 pain layer method because it wouldn't have worked with the pain i used for the camouflage layer because it is just stubborn so instead i painted it on. I didn't use an air brush but just a good old number 5 and number 0 brush to get the look I did. I wanted a lot of battle damage and it worked quiet well. Chest piece and helmet pics are bellow. Let me know what you guys think.
