Bit of an update. Got the left chest printed and im gonna start printing the right side and abdomen part today. Still gotta put eva foam over the brand names or at least paint it so you can't see it.
Small Update. Got the Left and Right parts of the Chest printed as well as the ab piece. printing the Top Left of the back right now. after the back is printed i need to print the sternum part and then the torso will be done. next thing to do will be size and print the biceps/shoulders and then the vambraces. then i actually have to work on the boots that i have been procrastinating on xD. I will try and post pics of the chest so far tomorrow
Will have to take a heat gun to all the connections to make sure they line up properly cuz atm the bottom connection on the back is slightly too high. Not to worry though. I'm also gonna go to the craft store near me today to get the strapping and buckles for my belt and lower armor, as well as buckles for the chest now that I am working on it. (Also just realized I blinked in the pic xD)
Mmmm many parts. After I took this pic I went outside to do a final layer of filler primer on the thighs and shins. Tomorrow i can sand those down and when the final part of the back is done I can solder all the back together then get the magnets for the rifle on
Also, if anyone is wondering what I use to get smooth prints.
Filament: Light Gray Overture PLA+
To fill in gaps: Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty (the red stuff)
To get rid of layer lines: Rust-Oleum automotive 2-in-1 filler and sandable
back plate soldered together. Just need to solder on the ab plate and the 3 detail parts (two front, one back) to then move onto sanding then strapping and padding

Armor so far. after i took this pic i soldered the ab piece on and put straps between the belt and the thighs. next thing to do is grab some padded suspenders from Smith and Edward's to hold up the belt and also put on the spine details.
