Well I've come a long way, I finally have a moment to sit down and show some progress! I'm going to split this up across a couple posts, first the shins and knees.
First the knees, these are the custom patterns I made for the thin foam
Also i added some battle scars, and this is the first piece I've sealed, because I don't need any seams sealed, and I plan to actually paint over that ace logo once I get paint.
Next the shins
(Oooooh that back plate sneak, more on that soon)
So first thing, I cut up part of this sock, to cover up my leg, and add a little detail
Also I later added some more battle scars
I added some foam on the inside to hold it in place
After about a 30 min walk at 4 in the morning around base with a friend of mine, I found out where it was uncomfortable so I added some craft foam to those areas
Aaaaand at 4 in the morning, they make great helmets.
