Looking good! a little more sanding and it'll be perfect!

Woah man, be really careful wen sanding through the fiberglass, I know its fine to kinda sand through it, but on my first helmet, I started sanding through and it just wore through.

Yeah I know, I figured that out when I almost went through! But I figured as long as I don't go through I can always go back and add some more fiberglass behind it for support, but thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I've had to put multiple fiberglass patches on my helmet, but now I'm restarting it >_<

Ok, so I have made and embedded the straps in to the fiberglass. It turned out pretty good it ins't quiet perfect because the front slides down a little when I attach them, so I need to modify the top back straps and it will be perfect. I also have some pictures of the chest and helmet together, and I have to say it looks pretty good, though the chest might be a bit to large I think it will look proportionate once I finish all of the armor. I still have some bondo touch up and smoothing to do but other than that this is what I have done so far. So tell me what you think.

With a little more work like you said I think you'll have a nice looking set of armor. That will be another one for the completed set thread. Good job!

The scale looks excellent. Nice job

Okay so the scale is good, thats good to know, I guess I just though it was big cause I'm thin and being inside a chest piece that is scaled for someone who is 6'5", and the piece having master chief's proportions, it just doesn't fit like you think it should. Thanks
