besides the compression pants. What do you put in the areas that aren't covered by armor? like the knee, groin, and armpits? do you have anything asides from the under armor? currently I'm kind of cold in just the under armor (i imagine that will change with foam added inside the armor and stuff though).

We have a whole thread devoted to "What's Your Undersuit:"

What's Your Undersuit?

The 2nd entry in the hit series "What's your _____" is What's Your Undersuit? Plenty of people are asking so throw a picture of your costume, what you used and link (please be sure to embed it in text so it does not fill the page) I'll make a sample to show it off! Costume: clothing used...

I do reccomend using the Search Function on the Website or using Google or Bing with the Boolean operator of "AND 405th" to help locate resources in the future before just asking in a thread like this, as it is possible that your question can get overlooked in a thread, and there are literally hundreds of threads on this Forum about Undersuits and what people wear under thier armor.

For the Mark VI like you are doing there are certain details that are unique to its under suit depending on how far down the accuracy rabbit hole you are willing or desiring to go. There are several company that makes Lycra/Zentai suits that replicate the look of the Halo 4 or 5 style undersuit and one company that makes specifically makes a print in the the Halo 2/3 style. Same thickness as Underarmor compression gear, but having the details replicated really makes it pop.

Several folks in the past made silicone or rubber replicas of the torso and shoulders for the Mark VI, but those folks are no longer active.

The Halo The Series Undersuit is differrent, but is stylistcally closer than the Reach abdominal section that a lot of folks have done great work replicating and have resources for, so finding threads using the search function about that style of udnersuit can also help.

a few more pics. The entirety of both legs are done. I'm using the duct ape to get an idea of where I may need support clips/straps and to hold together seams (which are being glued(Friday). I am currently working on the forarms. I do have a hard stop coming up tho. Almost out of non black/grey filiment to use and unless the wife approves another purchase of roughly 4 spools it will be on hold for a bit.
Which is fine i will pivot to sanding and finishing. I'm in no major rush i dont have any possible cons will july.

Let me know what you think?

Lookin clean!

It's been a minute sense I had somthimg I felt worth wile to update.

But here's the current status.

Was warm enough to go outside and sand / paint. My seams are still kinda rough. But I'm sure I can figure out how to fix them.

The new painted color really helps my brain think they look cleaner. I can now refocus on the rough spots.

New update got some more sanding done. Should be onto painting soon.
