Hello everyone! This update is a
little late, but I hope y'all will forgive me. First up, I'M DEPLOYED!!!!

Say hello to the Sgt. Luka Build, Deployment number S404! Of course, just because I'm deployed doesn't mean that I'm done with this suit, so for the first time in a
while, it's time for a build update.
First off, I got a new printer

and I quickly used it to make some armor that I'm still missing, as well as starting to replace some components that I want to replace.

I also had no weapons of any flavor, so some grenades will tide me over for a minute.

Presently, I'm working on the backpack, because
SubXzeroXhero makes me envious of his.

And finally, I got
many request to add a cigar or the like to my build to go with the drill instructor persona I ended up using at HCS. I have to confess, it's a really good idea and I was starting to look into it. Then
JSLund comes out of left field and goes 'Hey Luka, I've got an .stl of Cpt Keyes pipe, do you want to use that?' and of
course I did!

Obviously, all of these prints are still rough. I haven't started cleaning any of them and it might be a bit before I do (it's
cold up here in Washington). Then again, the list of places I'm going next year is already starting to grow at a fairly prodigious rate....
As for the build itself. Y'all probably know that I've worn this suit several times now, SummerCon, HCS, Grit City, Vets day. There has been wear and tear that needs to be taken care of. New gauntlets, possibly new shins, maybe a new attempt at the back armor. The shins I'm unsure about, the ones I have need repairs, and taking the chance to add a couple millimeters of extra space wouldn't suck, but it's a large part to replace... we'll see. I
do want to replace my thighs one day, since mine are
just to small, but that'll happen after I break the pair I've got. I also need an actual weapon, so the DMR will be up once I finish up the backpack.
That's it for this update! Thanks for stopping by though, I'll try to post again before Christmas!
