Has anyone ever tried to make their undersuit a part of the actual armor? E.g. have fabric and such glued to the inside of pieces. It'd be really cool if I could just wear my normal clothes, and be able to put the suit on overtop and be fully armored (ignoring heat concerns). This would leave it all as a self contained unit. What kinds of issues arrose with this method?
It'd also look amazing on a mannequin, as it'd look like the full suit.

Dun dun.... Dun dun.... Dun dun dun dun dun dundundu dundundun.
Ranger, you better get ready, because competition is zeroing in on you like a shark. You may have gotten a head start, but that doesn't you're out of the water yet.

It sounds good on paper. Let's hope it's as good in execution

Probably could do that, but I get the feeling it would be more complicated to get it onto your body, and probably more time consuming to suit up in.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
I've been relatively absent for a week, and I promise it's been for a good reason. I have a progress update that I am very excited to share with you (and very exhausted). My last update was 7 days ago on Monday, and for those who've forgotten, this is what I had completed:
Here is the progress I've made since then, I hope you like it.
And the obligatory photo dump:
* Fingers crossed *
Really hope I still stand a shot at Tier 3, but I'll be darned if I don't have the determination of an anime protagonist.

It should go without saying at this point, but literally none of this would be possible without all the help from ExCeLLuR8. Thank you so much!

This is looking so good man and you have been working so hard! I really appreciate the shout out, I've really enjoyed helping you with this build in the background but at the end of the day you're the one cutting and gluing the foam! Keep it up man and I'm here to help you reach your goals. I definitely think a Noble 6 is in my near future!

My first build will be a C.Q.B. helmet as well, though its the Halo 3 variate.

Brutally honest truth? The round detail on your thigh Is cut a little bit wonky, and the straight detail leading to it is too. Only because you're aiming for T3 do I bring this up. Did you cut with a ruler?
Otherwise:
Dang son! That's a lot of work to crank out in a week. I would know! My Reach suit thighs took a week just themselves it felt like! Looking way good, man!

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about, and why it happened, but still working out how to fix it. Been thinking about remaking them to perfect the scaling, but I appreciate the honesty
When I get 'round to remaking these I'll be sure to fix this.
And thanks! Needless to say, I put a lot of hours in that week.

Jumping on the T3 criticism train, you need to add the cutouts in the recessed section of the thighs for lighting. There's also a similar rectangular cutout in the forward recess of the bicep.

I'm not sure what you mean, I have a hole there to allow for lighting matching the in game scaling of 25% lighting 75% metal for the indent. Maybe it doesn't show up because I was wearing black pants? Check the close up photo of the thigh.
I do need to cut it out for the biceps still, I know that.

I've got a small update for before classes start: got my legs built! Until I remake thighs that is, but none the less.
I'm really liking these knee plates

Smallish progress update, I have a cod piece now. Might remake it later though.
