Just a quickie update, helmet is 99.5% done, I just need to buy 1 more LED (darn thing broke) and get it soldered in before I can say it's completely finished. I used the Zamp JS-1 visor, cost about $20 each, and I don't have any complaints at all about it. There was a small gap, but I really can't say I've seen a pep/fiberglass helmet that doesn't have that happen.
Almost all of the rest of the armor is getting it's first coats of paint today, I'll be sure to have some sweet pics up by the end of the weekend.
(The visor is really dirty right now)
Thanks, I'm only in NC for a few more days (I go to school in MO), but I'm home for most of the summers.

very nice armor man. i especially like the forearms and chest. those were a pain, and i had to skip em. did your helemt have a gap between the visor and the jaw area? if you did, let me know how you filled it, cause i had a small one, and right now i out some black foam in between.

hey, that's amazing armor!! can't wait to see it whenever you come back to nc. good job man
Sorry about the lack of clothes, but it got up to 99 today. All I really have left is weathering the jaw, battle damage to the torso, attaching the little ab plate, and raise up the thighs a hair (you can see how they rest in the second pic). Otherwise I'm pretty happy with how this has turned out being my first set of armor.
You have an odd fascination with being nekkid Phenry. The armor is art man, and you should be VERY proud of your work. I hope my future sets turn out that nice. One question though...are the suspenders for codpiece necessary? I'll be there after my last boot and was planning on it sitting above my hips slightly on the sides, but I don't want people to see every wrinkle of my junk. I was just going to do it like a belt.

For the strapping route that I took I feel like they help a lot in holding everything together, since I buckled the thighs to the codpiece. I tried to run it without the suspenders, but everything kept falling down. I'm probably also going to strap the biceps to the suspenders, so that they won't keep falling down.
