Ha ha! I don't mind you bothering at all 
Yup, it's going slow, mostly working on fiberglassing the lower legs and thigh pieces while working on the problem of how to do the joints in the suit so I'll still have movement.

How much room have you got around the knee/elbows? I was thinking a lever attached to the thigh and lower leg but you would need some twisting movement at the knee... Maybe have either the top or bottom loosely attached with elastic or something...
Cheers.
(Ps. OMG PICS! lol)

Hm, I'll have to see what works out really, a lever might work, the elastic would be cheaper or something like it.
(Ps. Working on it lol!)

Sorry man, had a bit of a financial crisis I had to take care of first, so that put a bit of a hold on working on the hardsuit. Now that everything is taken care of I'm back on track to working on it. I really should take more progress shots lol!OMG why do you torment me so
Cheers.
I'm glad other people want to see what I'm doing.
Honestly didn't think many people would be interested, and yes I have gotten some other parts done, reworked some pieces as well. Promise to have pics up before the weekend.nice job and nice progress. A little farther than I'm on mines (I'm doing the Priss Hardsuit from the original OAV). I found the legs and feet the easiest to do. the Helmet is what I'm finding a b**** to do.
Though you're doing pepakura, I'm doing it traditional (sculpting and molding).
See my sig (yes I went through the whole body cast too...6 hours of standing up and not moving in 5" platform heels does wonders on your nerves).
Good luck! Please Post progress pics ^_^ (aliteration FTW)

I found some BGC Helmet PDO's in this thread:
http://www.therpf.com/f24/azurials-...en-1-prime-head-up-x-men-belt-clasp-up-94965/
the one in the first post keeps timing out, but half-way down the first page of the thread, there is a link to a PDO file that you can get another modeled helmet by member Ikariya. Its PW protected, but he provided it in the post.
Sorry to threadjack....

Holy cow, nice work. I actually found the helmet the easier part, and most problems with the feet and the chest.
Braver person than I am. I just got a duct tape dummy to fit my armor onto.
Actually I got my file from here (http://www.propzone.be/payedfiles.html)
It's alright.

Sorry to bump, but I have progress pics finally.
Pics of the shoulder pieces, it was tricky trying to take pictures with both on so I just took them of one as they're both the same. Also I cut the pieces for the "knucklebomb" out of craft foam and card stock just because I had the foam lying around.
Just to give you an idea of what the shoulder looks like.
The other leg is resined and going to fiberglass it on the inside later. I've got the thighs, cod piece, abdominal plate thing fiber glassed, just working on the chest piece and thinking of doing the back part in foam the bit that looks like a spinal cord.

Thanks! Probably start with the bondo when, I have everything fiberglassed, and when it stops raining. The weather lately hasn't been nice at all, which keeps setting me back, as I'm not sanding this inside.
Oh wow a 7 ft tall master chief? Good luck and can't wait to see when you get started on it.

It's going slow, feel like I'm making no progress. Wearther has been so crappy lately I can't go outside to sand anything. I'm hoping I can finish it in time for Dragoncon, but right now it's looking like I won't. If nothing else I'll have it all pieced together, just won't have all the bells and whistles I'd like and there's always room for improvement.
