Thanks guys 
I've hit the home straight now so thought i'd upload the last WIP shots before finishing it off.
The thighs need cutting down a bit, but apart from that everything seems to fit right.
I lost the chin guard off the helmet. I was worried that if a paintball or tree branch etc lifted the helmet, the mask may of gotten caught and lifted up with it. Now its completely free and won't effect the mask, safety first
I may add some parts to the back, but I don't want anything getting in the way of the tank pouch or pods, making them hard to get to.
Finally, i'm going to need to paint some scratches and stuff onto it to give it a more used appearance. I'll also be adding some blue patterns and my team logo to it.
Any comments are welcomed

Stateside here, our rule is that the closest thing to your eyes excluding prescription eyewear MUST be an ANSI Z87.1 rated full-seal goggle with a strap, at least for airsoft. Paintball requires unmodified premanufactured paintball masks with no exceptions.
With the airsoft skirmishing, we've generally been told that we can wear non-regulation headgear, eyewear and masks as long as we've got compliant eye protection beneath.
But then, airsoft pellets aren't as dangerous as paintballs.

We have to wear an unmodified paintball mask, but are free to wear helmets, bandana's etc as well so long as they don't interfere with the mask. This mask is a Dye I3 and it hasnt been altered in any way apart from a bit of plastidip spray. The helmet part isnt attached and slides on and off. If it causes any concern, i'll just remove it when on the field and wear it in the camp site instead lol.

Props for using the H3 pattern ODST shoulders. I'd suggest using a motorcycle padded/armored undershirt if you want to add a bit of protection to your arms and have something to mount on. Also, your helmet looks similar enough to the Security pattern that you could make it work. Think about installing fans inside if your visor keeps fogging.
