any suggestions?
 
Could use some weatering. but otherwise it looks great! Some members need to trim thier visor a little bit, because the HJC visors dont fit perfectly into the Mark VI.

yea the ones that are painted green havent been weathered yet. i just couldnt resist painting them the day i bought the paint. and i tried trimming the visor down the suggested amount, and it still wont fit. im afraid to bend it too much cause it'll probably snap. does anyone know how much these things flex?

:/ id have to say good luck. ive been on doing this project since january and this is how far i got. but if you speed build you might be able to get most of it. maybe if you do the non crucial pieces in low detail you can do it. the chest took me one straight day of building i literaly didnt stop for meals, not to mention the cutting and folding. other pieces arent as detailed but if you figure two or three pieces a week and lose your social life, i think youll be able to finish. not the best quality but still. itll be a learning experience.

i dont really understand your question. do you mean is 110 lb paper what you should use for pep? if so then yes, thats what i used
