They look like they came out nice a straight, great job, now bondo time but it don't look like you'll need to much

Awesome work as always man. I've been following this thread with keen interest. I'm working on my Mk V version now but I REALLY can't wait to start the mk VI. But I did have a quick question. How did you attach the chest piece together. That's where I'm at currently, despite a few setbacks, but I'm looking for a good way to attach the back and front sections of my chest piece so that they fit perfectly together. Love to see how you managed to do it. As always, awesome work and can't wait to see it finished!

Hey ! Its me again
Thanks Hyper, your right they wont need a lot of bondo and this is exactly what I want, so they can be as light a possible.
@ Fudz073 : I used some earth magnets bought on eBay for my chest, but the were too small and did not old it together very well when running or taking stairs. So I did some fiberglass hooks inside the upper part of it. I slide down the front part of the chest in them and the magnets center it. Its not perfect but it works
You can see the hooks in this picture.
Today I sanded down the unwanted edge of the pep forearms and mask the details I wanted to keep.
I did some Bondo With my super rubber spatula (who is actually leftover from the sole I've put under my boots)
A great bondo job = less sanding
That's all for tonight folks.

Man you are so right! That's the one thing bout workingwith bonding in Houston, especially with the past month with over 100 degree weather. It seems almost a waste one times -.-

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I was rushing to finish for the 17-18 sept Montreal comicon, but the paint job on my last 3 pieces was crap, so sadly I didn't go, took the family to the orchards to pick some apples insted :rolleyes.
If I learn something, its let the paint dry at least 2 days before doing black weathering on it :angry
Anyway, I took a week off from my build, and now I'm back at it, the new deadline is October 23rd, for the Montreal ToyCon.
To change my mind I peped a Plasma sword Hilt.
Did some brace to keep it straight and fiberglass them.
After filling the to half's with urethane foam, stick them together with some bondo.
Did some bondo on it.
Primed
Add some details, was working on the Forearms at the same time.
Voila
I did a groove on one side to slide in the Chicago screw that come out of my thigh
Yesterday I repainted my right thigh after sanding it back to the primer, got to do the same on the forearms after adding the lines that was missing under them. I also started to pep a Needler on my breaks and lunch time at work.
Today I stop by a upholstery supplier and bought some fake leather to do the neckseal with the pattern I receive for my donation to the 405th last year.
So much more to come.
Oh, and thanks a lot for your comments keep them coming

Mark VI Complete
So I finally completed my MarkVI, It was a intense rush to finish in time for the October 23 Montreal Toycon. But it was worth it
Even the 501st was impressed
In the week before Halloween I tweak some parts and made others to be more comfortable in it. On Halloween Day, I left work early to show it off at my workplace, and at some friends place, my brother, my mom. On the way back home for Halloween night, took the kids at daycare and school, all this in my MarkVI minus the boots and helmet when I drive
At my younger son's Daycare center
My Kids: Mario and Bumblebee and there cousins
After Halloween I took a month off from working on my costume, to work in the house and play Batman Arkham Asylum(never took the time before) then Halo Anniversary, and lately on December 2 I learn there is a mini-comiccon in Montreal the next day. That night I worked On rewiring my chest till 2 am, got up at 7, went to the Scouts with my son at 8:30 to 12:30, lunch with friends, then go at the Comiccon at 3:45, to late for the cosplay competition. But everybody found my costume awesome, must have taken 30+ pictures with fan's it was great ! Can't wait for the big one in September.
I want to thank the 405th and its community for helping/supporting me on this build. Feel free to ask any questions.
