Very nice work. I especially like how you weather your pieces and the LED lights. Wished I had the time to do the same with my kids' costumes.

OH OH!!!!

This is going to look EPIC!

I like the color choices and the LED's!
Hmmmm your build and LED placement's look kinda familiar. I have a feeling that I had a hand in the inspiration on this one. Yes?

Fantastic work so far. Please keep it up. I'm flattered at what i am seeing and cant wait to see this one done.

Email subscribed to this one... DONE.

Keep it up!

Absolutly fantastic! Everything appears to be UBER.
I can tell that you have been spending quite a lot of hours on this.
I also have a feeling that once finished, your suit will rival mine.
FYI: I believe that your's is the 2nd Chief that has its LEDs styled after mine. Another member made one with RED LED's and black armor. KUDO'S

I'm VERY impressed and flattered. I don't impress easily. (5 Star vote added!)

Very good cheers to you and your project!

Although I just officially signed up, I had been surfing as a visitor for a little while. Longshot and many others have done some exceptional work. This too is on my fav. list. I'm really wanting to start a build as well, but seeing all these great ones just makes me more nervous, lol. Props to you sir! I'm spending the next week or so just going through all the stickies and search options. Looking forward to seeing this thing finished! Thanks for posting your progress.

btw
the fix it sculpt it you referenced, is this what you were referring to:
http://www.avesstudio.com/index.php...ion=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1&vmcchk=1&Itemid=1

So you used this all around instead of any bondo/rondo(sorry, still learning about those).

Now that I see it all on you.

Your Undersuit/Strapping and Scaling are definitly spot on! Not 100% sure about the shoulders, I would need to see ya wearing the torso to be 100% sure. --But-- I am betting that they are perfect.
Excellent Bondo and Sanding! All the round areas are indeed round. ie. Can't see the polygons.
Fanstastic paint job! I love your choice of chief's colors.

Please keep going... I'm getting excited with how well your armor is looking!

Super Cheers!

thanks everyone for the support .. i had to re-pep the chest becuase i wasnt happy with my first one so thats where i stand now on this i just hope i dont get hung up on it because im still not sure how im going to do my setup once i split the pieces , my plan is for magnets but i guess it will have to be a trial and error thing

I have some tips for ya when you get to the magnets stage, as that is what i did for my chest piece. I used Harddrive magnets and modified parachute clips. Worked out great.
