Today it was 55 degrees so I took a few hours to work on stuff before I go back to school tomorrow.

It's great to see that you're working on this again man!! I love how this is turning out!

Don't you just love unseasonal weather! It got up to 62 here today, and I nearly finished my Mk VI shins.

Your armor is looking great. It's hard to believe and amazing that you sand it all by hand. I don't think I would be working on my armor without my mouse sander. Can't wait to see more!

 

[Macattack64]

Yea, everything was hand sanded up until now, I got a mouse sander for Christmas.

just read the thread and everything is looking pretty solid so far! glad to see someone else took advantage of the nice weather too.

I'm loving the matte look of your build, and the black wash and just overall attention to detail makes this look awesome. I wana see it finished lol.

Thanks guys. Updates will be coming frequently throughout the summer!

I'm back from school so I got back to work on some pieces. I must say.. I've never been more happy to have a mouse sander. I honestly feel like I got so much done today although it may not seem like much, it feels like a lot to me.



That's just spot putting on the cod pieces

Thank you Mstruvmgc!



I finished up sanding the front cod and side pieces. I still need to work on the butt piece. I also got some more work done on the shins but no pictures of that.



I pulled out my chest piece today and decided to take care of the side "strapping" except I decided not to use straps. To keep my chest together at the sides when wearing it, I decided to use Rare Earth Magnets that I picked up at Harbor Freight. I purchased 2 packs of 10:

Thanks! It'll be good to get it done. It's nice to be working on it too. This is my year to finally finish.

I really love the magnets. I may use them on other parts of the suit! Thank you!


I been working on the shins lately since I basically finished the cod piece. The only things I need to work on are the thighs and the boots

These are looking great mac! Keep it up and soon I'll have a red spartan to go up against

Looks great. Nice clean looking lines.

 

[Annanymous]

wow you're basically done with everything and moving onto the painting! Nice. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Mstruvmgc]

Great lookin shins man

You know it!

Looks great. Nice clean looking lines.

Thanks Thorn! I've actually been looking at your build lately on how you did your boots.

wow you're basically done with everything and moving onto the painting! Nice. Can't wait to see more.

I still need to do the thighs and fiberglass the boots! After the paycheck from working this week I'll have a lot of money to start buying some of the things I still need for my undersuit. I'm actually not quite sure where to start on the thighs so anyone with some tips would help!

Great lookin shins man

Thanks! I was really proud of them too but I was thinking I should have maybe added more detail. I looked at Longshot's and Paradoxdj's suits and decided that I would do it like this and decide later when everything is done!

Aw, man! Your stuff is awesome!
And I never knew you could get rare earth magnets at Harbor Freight! I'll have to check it out next time I go in that store!
Now I don't have to scour all over the internet!
Thanks!
