Man everytime I check in on this it gets better and better. I'm loving it and I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing put together. Major props to you.
I'm not sure if you noticed this, you probably mentioned it but I was too busy drooling over the 13 pages of awesomeness, but the sleeves of this outfit look rather tight-fitting ingame. I think he has some extra armor underneath the sleeves, and the straps and armor on the outside as well. Because I don't think his forearms are perfectly cylindrical. That's pretty easy to replicate though if your arms aren't massive, because nobody knows what's underneath the armor...
Yeahm working on the sleeves.
i've already got the armor planned, and i am considering a sleeve of foam wrapped around my forearm to bulk it out alittle.
noting huge this time, been too busy with XMas stuff.
a few shots to show ho things are going, i got my spandex hood this morning, but these shots were taken last night, so weren't in the shot.
The LEDs are really bright.

Amazing work, but I got some questions;
where do you get the EVA foam? (link? Store? Home Depot???)
Is there a specific way to shape the foam without (or with, whatever) power tools? Oh, & how in general...
The most recent pictures were taken in a mirror, right?

i think almost all of your questions are answered through this entire thread.
the foam was from harbor freight.
the rest, you'll have to dig through my thread a little.
edit, also yeah, i took those last quick shots in the mirror, you can see me holding the camera, heh.

Wow... This is just stunning Kommissar! The detail on you're armor and helmet have me in awe. I can't wait to see it finished. ^_^
started work painting... and kind of finished alot of it, too..
the helmet is getting some rust and dirt over it, as you can see, as well as the grey/blue of the armor.
if people have good techniques making rust effects, please feel free to share them, i don't mind what ive done, but theres always room for improvement.
once the stencils are added, this should be finished..
some light work on the armor plates for the arms.
still alot to go.
this should make people happy.
i'm really not happy with my lettering.. does ANYONE know where to get either a fine detail stencil or stick on letters from a an actual physical store? (not enough time to mail order them i think)
more lettering
i feel kind of cheap for being almost done with the mask.. i want to do more to it, but i have no idea what else to do,
i feel like i'm missing a detail or just being kind of lazy with it, since it's the focal point of the project and costume.. but compared to construction, it was very easy and fast to paint.

Do you have a scrapbook or craft store in your town? Ask if they have a machine that can custom cutout letter stencils for you. There is a scrapbook store a few hours away that I visit that does this. They only charge a few bucks per sheet cut.
They would also have plastic, non custom, font stencils too.

HOLY BALLZ! Man, I was wrong to underestimate your skillage! This looks great!!!! And dont worry man, the stencils look awesome (hand done stencils add your own touch of orginality to the piece)! I highly doubt you need to add anything more for two reasons... For one, I agree with Ithica, I think you'll be feeling its complete once you get the lights in! Also I think that (in my opinion), if you add anything more that it miiiiiigggghhhhttt be overdoing it a tad-bit... Besides that, looks great! Keep up the great work man, looking forward to some new updates!!! =D

Over doing it or not Altair, this looks way to kicka-- 
Kommissar, i have an idea for a letter stencil, if you have Microsoft Office Word, there is a military style stencil font, just type up what you want, print it, and with a exacto knife, just cut out the black part of the letters, and use whats left as a stencil.
