Thanks everyone for the continued support

@ Stiilus:
Thanks, Stiilus . I dig the white, too...but I really want to paint it! I do, however, plan on painting everything together at the very, very end. So you will get to see the whole suit together in its white/grey/black form before it goes to paint . It may be quite some time before it gets to that point though...I seem to be moving at a snail's pace !
@ Drack:
Thanks! Your and Roxy's builds helped to convince me that foam was the way to go!
@ Cereal:
Thanks, Cereal! I'm definitely trying to focus and not rush...but I think my pace is more often dictated by my tendency toward distraction, then any tendency toward patience, lol.
@ Nessy:
Haha, yes...the sewing machine's foot! It would be quite the odd image to have vinyl stuck to your actual foot. Thanks for continuing to watch the build!
@ Hyper:
Thank you! I really like your Reach suit. It doesn't even look like foam!
@ Nogood:
Haha...I guess I phrased that kind of odd. I meant that I actually felt like a vegetable/vegging out...I guess "couch potato" probably would have made more sense, lol. And while I do appreciate my tofu and veggies, I also love my BBQ and burgers. Anyway...yes, the vinyl seals are sewn. However, they are not actually sewn into the foam armor piece. They are attached using Velcro tabs.
@ Breach, Thorn, and Sixhill:
Thanks! Glad you all are diggin' the build
@ ACDC:
Thanks! Yes, it is quite comfortable. It's not overly warm (but, of course, not like wearing a tank top either) and the neck seals themselves do not restrict my movement at all. The only thing that is a little restrictive is the armor itself. The width somewhat limits the range of motion in my shoulders, but nothing major.

Oke doke...now let's get down to business...
It's Update Time!
Well, it seems this week's themes were: "LilTyrant is easily distracted" and "everything takes longer than you think it will." In a nutshell, I didn't get as far as I thought I would. I did, however, get my other arm seal together...complete with the extra shoulder pad thing. Here's what it looks like with the undersuit (*note: I'm not wearing the base layer of the neck seal in these pictures):
And a close up:
Only the left arm gets the extra shoulder pad, since the right arm is the mechanical prosthetic.

Next Up: After much debate, I decided to start working on the ab plate. Nothing worth showing as of yet, but stay tuned!
