Ok guys, so I joined 405th about a year ago and since then I've been working on my MK VI build. Unfortunately though, I've only gotten the helmet done and the torso pepped BUT, now that I'm in college and I have no money and no job, i have some extra time so I've really stepped it up! Since I've never made a thread before or ever posted my progress, I figure now is the time to do it just to get you all caught up on what I'm doing. Hopefully I can get some feedback!

So, to start off I'll post what I have of my helmet which is COMPLETE
Sorry for the bad quality pics.
Here's a link to my photobucket
To give a little explanation of the helmet, I've got 4 fans on the inside, 3 in the front, 1 in the rear. The way I installed the fans is I pretty much made a duct system for them. each fan has 3 1/4 inch surgical tubes running to the rear of the helmet. The fan is held by a small duct made out of an aluminum sign. Like any other MC helmet, there are four LED's on the outside of the helmet, two on each side. I also took the liberty of installing a blue LED strip to the inside of the helmet that shines down on my face, allowing anybody on the outside to see in. There are three switches mounted in the chin: one for the outer LEDs, one for the LED strip, and one for the fans. I do have a dual-layer visor which I made myself from two motorcycle visors I bought from a local motorcycle shop.
Unfortunately all I have pictures of right now is my helmet because I have that with me in my dorm and I left the torso at home but I'll be getting the torso up here pretty quickly. As soon as I do I'll post some pictures! I've also started pepping again and I'm working on getting everything scaled right.
As for the undersuit, I've decided I'd like to go with what Longshot-X used which seem to be this for the upper body and this or this for the lower body. The only problem is, like I said, I have no job or money haha so I'm working on getting a job right now to pay for this extremely expensive hobby.
Please let me know what you think of my helmet. Although I've finished it, I may or may not make another one to go along with the rest of my build because I'm not 100% satisfied with it. Also, What do you guys think of my undersuit choice? When I get some more pics up I'll be sure to be asking more questions!
