Looking forward to your pictures. I wouldn't personally use the black pleather because I think it's too dark, but as you don't really see the suit in the game except when you're about to put it on, it's more about what people think he should look like than perfect SA. Also, pleather is basically airtight, right? I've never worn a whole body suit of the stuff before, but I made my leg wraps for my Luke Skywalker costume out of the stuff and my legs were sweating buckets after 15 minutes. That being said, good luck with your HEV suit and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
EDIT: Also, only print out one of each piece at first. I had to remake both arm pieces and both leg pieces multiple times to get the sizing right. I still might have to remake the belt and chest pieces, I won't know until they're glassed. And don't get me started on the thighs. Big thanks to Nugget for the models, but he screwed the pooch on the thighs. Comparing them to the game model really shows how wrong they are. I still don't even know how (or IF) I can fix them.
