Looking great Thorn!!
I hadn't noticed it before in your photos, and it might be because the ones I'd seen earlier you had a hood on under your helmet, but have you thought of using something to cover your open ear holes on the helmet?
Something like the scrub filters in fish aquarium filters. They're usually black and are very open so it wouldn't interfere with your ability to hear or anything. They look like this:
It would just close it off and maybe give it some depth.
And have you thought about doing a double visor or scoring your visor? I'm going to try the double visor when I get around to my suit after my son's. I found a close up of it in the Deliver Hope Live action trailer on YouTube of the way it looks.
Not picking on anything you've done though, because everything as I said, looks great. Just an idea is all.

Thank you, Drake.
Thank you, Early90z.
Yes I wear a hood normally, this was just a test fit so I didn't have it on(to hot inside for winter hood). That will cover all that skin showing on the head and neck. I plan on ordering a heat gear hood soon. I also have some black screen that I need to glue on to cover the holes. I just didn't know if I was going to do a add-on on that side or not.Looking great Thorn!!

As to the double visor..hmmm. I might just have to look into that. The visor I have right now cost $32 so I'll have to do a web buy for that. I payed the higher amount because I needed it right away. It's still set up as a temp right now so that would be real easy to do. :cool
Thanks for the Idea's Spartan_127 :cool I'm loving you're build by the way.
I Was worried for you at first, about possible warping on the chest piece. But you seem to have that all worked out. Mine warped in 2 places so I didn't want you to have the same problems I did. You're son will be so happy when it's done.

Thank you, Mstruvmgc.Looks great
Thank you, LilTyrant.
You and Roxy were very inspirational on how this part started to morf. into what it is now.
AB plate pep was done by jtm1997. I did a mod on mine to make it fit. I used some of Roxy's magic and a little of LilTyrant's inspiration to get it to this point.
But the basic guide line to the parts came from that pep. The file to the AB plate is here.---http://www.405th.com/showthread.php...admau5-Scout-and-daft-punk-helmet-peps/page55
As to were I live. I'm out in Clinton Twp. But Work at the GM Ren. Cen. in Detroit doing Traffic control. :cool

Gundam!
Nice choice thorn! when ever I see it, it brings me back to when I was 9 watching Transformers! Gundam always makes me think of Star Scream and Side Winder for some reason....
Looking forward to seeing the build!!

I used the default scale and as to the file mine is a little out dated try going to L3X's data file--->>http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/33480-L3X-s-File-Database for the latest and greatest.
It will be a little while before I get to it but the mech/Gundam is going to be a MS-18E Kampfer:coolGundam!

Don't be afraid to Dream.

hey thorn did you have to rescale your cod piece cause i don't think mines big enough
I printed it out in default and did a direct mod to the sides removing 2 inch's on each side after I was done pepping. (Of course in hind sight I wish I had them back to fit the under suit.) I'm a 5'8.5" 165lb's med build, about a size 31 waist. If you need to add you can get away with a few inches next to the pouches with taking away from the look. I hope this help's you.:cool
thanks thorn that's all i needed to know. i'm 6'4 about 33in waist and losing (shouts in excitement). so hopefully no modding for me

Oh yes, that should give you 1 inch movement on the wast line.
Now I personally was not able to do this but I'm going to put it out there for you to see if you can make it work. If you look at the pep you'll see that the front clip has a real nice cut line. That is were I cut mine for the clip on. What I couldn't do was hinge the 2 back pieces, The pep was just a hare off (my fault) and no defined cut line. So if you mod the back a hair you will get a nice clean cut line. That mod would just be pushing the paper joint in. Then you can have a nice clean, separate pieces when you go to belt it.
Mine is still in a "C" form as of right now. I may change it up after this years Halloween/Youmacon. I just don't want to mess with things to much, till after the big contest that could possibly pay for the next build.
Yes I'm still going to Build at least one more big project using everything I learned here with this one. Thanks to everyone here, I got the Bug :cool
