Thanks guys
I made myself a ductape and newspapers mannequin and armored it up just so I have a cool display piece and so all my armor isn't laying around everywhere.
I still have to rondo the shins ( just ran out )
sand down a knee and thigh.
paint and weather most things, including pelvis.
I have the ipod on, I used industrial strength velcro and it's holding up really well, the only way it comes off is if somebody is pulling on it for time.
it can come out so it can be charged.
