We added the decals. And added the helmet stripes.

Decals looking super crisp! What did you use to make them/what are they made of?

There's a post on here somewhere for Reach Decals. They were basically printed off on white sticker paper (clear didnr work as the colors were too muted. Then just cut out and pressed on, some rubbing to wear down the ink a little. My Logo and the UNSC logo are Stencils I made via plotter and the color just sponged on to give a bit of a worn look.

So a little behind the scenes since basically nobody will see this down the line.

Added felt to the seams, where the hot staples are. Also added felt to the hardcase and made a backplate for it. Did it add much space? No but just enough to carry ID, spare batteries and some minor repair stuffs.

Added padding to the gauntlets. And added the white LED foam in prep for the LEDs.

That is a really clever way to cover up the staples. Hats off for innovation!

Thanks! I ground them down but better safe than sorry and I dont want them difficult into the undersuit or me

Little more inactive atm, dealing with some life issues.

Finished the boots, wanted to keep them removable. Goal here was to keep the mobility of the boots and walk normally hence everything being raised up a little

Magnets have been added to the chest, little bit of shifting when moving so will probably add more velcro.

Looking great! What boots did you use for the shoes?

Looks awesome, always love an EOD! For the Hardcase, did you do a backing for it or is it left open against your leg? Didn't see too many photos of it besides the beginning, guessing would give more some more room but if something would slip out.

I like how you did your boots. I might have to fix mine up to be more like yours

Finished the circuits for the LEDs. Might need to shorten some cables as I am installing them atm.

Lights installed! Last steps done before final attachments and undersuit
