OK, Here is my problem. I am the new guy on the block and I am looking for armor. That's simple enough but it gets complicated from there. Although I would love to eventually hand-build a personal set, I just don't have the time right now (or in the immediate future). I am looking for a highly-detailed molded/cast suit and while I should be fine on the paint and assembly side, I just can't seem to find what I am looking for. While I currently have what should be a spectacular helmet being made (Thanks Spase), finding the rest of the armor seems to be more of a challenge. Even a piece at a time would work as this doesn't have to be completed immediately. I know that mjolnir armor and the 405th do not sell armor but are there any resources that anyone can recommend?
I have seen some of the work done by the members of this forum and frankly, much of it is pretty spectacular. Ideally I am looking for something Adam-esque in quality and while I'm not interested in mortaging the house, I think I do understand what that level of craftsmanship will cost and for the right gear, I am totally on board with that. There is an organic feel to Adam's suit (and the old NAS suit for that matter) that appeals to me more so than the pep and armors based on the older HALO styles. So I guess in the end it boils down to: MKV/MKVI, cast construction, highly detailed but not overly angular, and available. As much as I want the armor, I just don't have the time or resources to creating a full set of clay mock-ups and molds for what will more than likely be a one-suit deal. So that being said does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
