My build so far

[MojadoGringo]

Thanks to TnG R1ckx posting their files, I'm able to get some use out of my printer! This is what I have so far with 5 days of printing while I was asleep. Hopefully I can get the rest in about a month's time, and then i can get some filler paint on it. I'm starting the body armor piece out of eva foam today, so I'll post that later.

Looking nice, Gringo! Looking forward to seeing the progress.

To make the gauntlet fit well I'm slicing the wrist portion so I can put it on a hinge and lock it. I'm currently making the last of it, so I'll be back in the morning..

Also for paint I was thinking about using the matte camo. I used it on a hunting boat and felt this may be a good option. Thoughts?

My friend designed a logo for the chest. So here is that as well

Hinging the wrist is a smart idea, and the camo paint is perfect!

I like the logo as well. Where are you gonna stick it?

just need to trim some edges and use some calling filler-what ever the stuff is ... I'm about to go get some .

Hey MojadoGringo, looks good so far. What are you going to use to close up the sides? Sorry if I missed that being mentioned. Also you should look clean up the edges a bit. Hit it w/ a Dremmel or some sand paper. Will clean those rough areas out right quick. Keep it up.

That ^
Hitting up the edges with a HIGH grit sandpaper will do wonders. makes everything connect better. Also, if you're going to be using hot glue, make sure you use just enough to get the pieces to stick, and not seep out over the edge. For one, it saves you some glue, and for two, it makes it easy to clean up afterwards.
