I have it made ready to go just debating weather to put it on or not but with your suggestion i'm going to put it on. And also i'm going to make a recon chest piece within the next week to add too the rubies suit. yes out of the box the sut is not all that great but with a idea, and time it can turn out to look pretty good.
Ok got my recon chest piece cut out and glued together, after I finish the shoulders off to resin and fiberglass. I will post more pics when I get more done.
rubies is out I don't like the shoulders they don't cover the back of the arm and it has no bend in the piece. So I figured since i'm going to wear my recon helmet might as well make the recon shoulders and chest to go with the shoulders I am defiantly going to use but trying to figure out how to integrate the chest piece in. I am also making the backs for the boots as you know there is no back plate just top and toe.
Yea the under armor I got is awesome way better than the sweat suit it came with I have to change out the pants I got I am using keeper padded pant's but the back on them sags too much looks like I **** myself so i'm just going to use under armor cool skin pants. At the current moment the suit is mostly the rubies armor. I made the helmet,shoulders and the back piece for the arms, in the process of making the boots because they don't have a piece that cover the heel. Had alot of fun going out in my suit great feedback lots of pics one smart ass told me to get a life my buddy gave him a piece of his mind he told him nothing like a smart ass mouthing off to a wounded vet with a hobby lol. I figure on fri ill go to pax with the recon stuff on, then on sun MK VI change it up a little. Thx for all the great feedback.
Ok after looking over my armor I have came to the decision to change out the orange led's with blue the blue gives off way more light and visible in well lighted areas. I need peoples opinion on the next thing, what color should I do for my secondary color not going with the black I was looking at screen shot I have taken of my spartan in halo 3 and I am leaning between orange,blue,green which would work best the secondary color will change the shoulders and the mount on the helmet and the sides of the helmet were the ear is located so input on this will be greatly appreciated.
I was floored when he walked into the store with that suit. We watch that show all the time and certainly wasn't expecting that. It didn't surprise me that they threw out that ridiculous offer. But I can see where they were coming from. That suit would have looked good in there shop if it was properly displayed on a mannequin though.
Back on topic. Looking forward to seeing what progress you have made on your suit.
Thank you out of the box the suit is crap the jump suit is horrible and hot as hell and the helmet is huge maybe if I was 7 feet tall the helmet would work but I look like I have big head mode turned on when I wear it but after some time and adding too-helmet shoulder pads and backs for the boots witch I have to get done by the 26 for pax but if the boot backs are not done no biggie you cant notice it lol it came out nice though after pax I start the rest of my recon suit chest and everything else. I added ya on XBL.
