Update number... er, let's say 19?
Oh. My. God.
Words can not explain how deeply and sincerely sorry I am. Seriously, I am so ashamed of myself, no joke. I kept coming on here, blabbing about Update this and New Picture that, and understand that when I say that I am groveling for your forgiveness, I am. If I can, I will explain.
This next Paragraph is my explanation, skip it if you just came for the photos.
School started, and right off the bat there were problems, between transportation ( I drive so I have to work) and overall horrible teachers, I have been swamped with work for the past month of school. And if that isn't enough, my Mac, which is a Titanium series, died on my on the fifteenth of August. If you don't know, the Titanium series was in production from 2001-2002... yeah, a 11-12 year old Mac. If you can imagine the amount of pictures, videos, and files I had on there, you would understand. I bought a new Mac Mini about a week ago and spent the entire week digitally fishing for EVERY FILE. Over half a Terabyte (1000 gigs) of memory has been extruded in the past week, which includes all my photos for the Juggernaut suit. This update will contain at least 30-40 pics. After transferring every last file I finally got the courage to put up my files on the 405th. and got a message saying that it is updating... go figure. So now that we can get back to business, here is the long lost update.

No joke it has been so long since my last update, so here we go, if the pictures aren't in order, sorry... I think I left off at the back plate getting work done.
July-August
Summary: Worked on the finish for the collar, began working on the back plate, and went shopping for new gear for the suit.

And fixed some seals on the back plate:
The Army-Navy Store: The army-navy store I went to called "Al's army/navy" was amazing. everyone there was super awesome and super supportive. The manager of the store (strangely not named Al) Rick helped me around, and even knew what I was woking on building. While I was there I picked up a holster, gloves, and a bayonet sheath for the waist area. Here's a few pics for show:
Too many photos, more in the next part.
