Thank you very much guys, I really appreciate and your comments give me more motivation :D
Some seams are a bit messy indeed Dirtdives, I'll fix'em before applying the wood glue, thanks for your comment ! :)
Yeah, that's pretty cool to see the armor almost assembled, can't wait to finish it PlanetAlexander ! :)
 
Thanks Tyler ! I agree for the helmet, it's the first part you see on the armor. If it's too big or too small, well...you have to do it again.
 
Hi Spartans ! :) I finished the build of the armor and i'm wondering which kind of spray paint do you use to have a metallic effect ? I've used montana colors spray paint in the past but it wasn't on a foam build.
 
Hi Spartans !

Here are some sneak peak pictures of the painting of the Mk IV. This is just the base color for now. I'll add weathering and texture later. I guess 2 coats of spray paint is enough, it got a pretty good coverage. Don't hesitate to give me some advice about spray painting :)

I did a wearing test of the armor, nothing is strapped or stuck with velcro at this point, so some parts were quickly photo-edited. Next steps: torso, visor, the undersuit and the gun. I won't be able to work on the suit for quite a long time but the build will be ready for summer 2022 cons :)

Hello spartans ! The armor is nearly finished, i just need to put the velcro straps on the undersuit. For now, here are some pieces of textured pieces and a Mk50 Sidekick in foam !

Looks great, it was really fun reading through all this from start to finish. I'm trying to speed run finishing my first suit of armor right now.
 
Thanks a lot guys !
It was more like a marathon than a speedrun for me lol, i can work something like a month or two in a year on the cosplay. I checked your build, looking forward to see it completed !
