Hell YEAH! I'd definately be interested in getting one of these. It would be an honour to wear something like this, paying homage to a couple guys here who really know how to "raise the bar" in armour/prop building, and have made some awesome contributions to our hobby...

Well, at least I didn't show the front or the import models wearing these. LOL
Well, it's understandable that as this is more of a personal project, other business-related projects would have to take precedence. You guys have made an amazing amount of progress on both the AR and helmet so far. Can't wait to see more!
As for Bishop, well... that's indeed unfortunate. I sincerely hope he's able to get over that sinus infection soon.
I definately agree with SK Girl that some of those shirts, if made available, should be in girl sizes as well. After all, female SPARTANs deserve some of that kewl shirt lovin', too...
They used a material called Renshape. It comes in sheets (can't remember the dimensions, but they're fairly big) and are rather expensive ($600.00 for one sheet).
It's fairly maleable and therefore easy to cut, sand, reshape and sculpt. It also has a good weight and feel to it when built up -- like they did for the AR here -- so it it weighs closer to what the real-world AR would.
