let me know what you guys think
 
Yea im still fairly new to the foam game and had no clue about the latex caulking that ive seen people use also i did all my cuts with crappy scissors and a box cutter. And i just recently bought a hot knife and a heat gun. So my next build i will go at it alot cleaner. Hot knifing my edges heat gun the round spots and caulking my gaps. Kinda scared to go back into these cuz i like the paint jobs but i may just do it. Thanks for the criticism though.
 
I would think you've dont an amazing job!!!!!
What are you using as an undersuit?

thanks man! im using the cheap MK moto one i bought off amazon for like 30 bux and just wearing compression pants for lower. Going to a con next month and ill be adding to all that with foamie details on most of my moto jacket.
 
I spent months on perfecting my white helmet and there are almost NO flaws on it it was perfectly pepped and i did as good of a job on the bondo and resin as one could. my question or advice i would ask is should i continue weathering it like the rest of my suit or just leave it clean and white? i love it the way it is but wonder if it would look better in comparison with my suit weathered? also id like to make a cast of it and if i put the weathering in with acrylic paint and my airbrush will the brush strokes and addition of paint show up in the mold?
 
Maybe you should just add to your collection with a new suit! All this work looks great, I'm sure most members wouldn't mind a w.i.p. by you.
 
the white suit looks amazing! and airbrushing the second one was definitely a good idea, i was blown away as to how much more realistic it looked, going to have to try and get my hands on one for my suit now haha! keep up the good work man!
