Small update - got my shoes sized and printed one whole boot part. It fit perfectly in the first try which always feels good, but something about seeing it wearable and putting it on and starting to get a feel for the finished look was really exciting. I have a lot of pieces laying around in varying stages of completion as I continue to print my brains out, but seeing this pushed together was really rewarding.

Hell yeah man, putting on the helmet the first time is super special. Looking really good so far, keep it up! Also, cutting out the frame for sizing the torso was genius. well done.

This looks so cool so far! Alot of suit building is trial and error, with the 3D printed files i had to scale down alot. alot of it is definately trial and error, mostly error XD. the bigger parts of the armour i have build from 10mm foam as it just saved the hassle of printing and was cheaper. another thing with foam is its quieter and doesnt clunk like 3D printed bits do

As a fellow recon build, I am loving this build so far. I wish I took the chest idea, mine is going to be a little big on me and boy that would have saved a headache. 10/10. I'm gonna be doing foam layering.
Also try epoxy for sturdy stuff and for small holds, use a mix of 1 dot super glue, rest viscosity glue, itll hold in less then 30 seconds. Learned that recently. Just wear gloves. 30 seconds, no joke.

Solid work so far! Good choice, going with the recon helmet lol
A little tip for the gasket of the chest plate, grab some thick craft or upholstery foam and glue a band around in the edges. This way you can not only make a simple gasket, but also hide the interior of the chest plate so it looks flush to your body. Regardless, can't wait to see more progress!
