Sweed builds a Spartan

Are you going to weather it or keep it clean?

I don’t want to dull the brightness of the green too much so I probably won’t, not the best at it either

Two days to work on the suit, the boots are 90 percent done, all that remains is one thigh, and the knees!

Sounds good! I figured you were going to keep it clean, it's looking amazing!

C2 has come and gone, and with it, the first version of the suit! I crunched all the way to Wednesday before the con to get everything done and wearable, and I’ll admit I’m exhausted.

There’s a lot to be done to make improvements and make the suit more comfortable over all, but the hard part is over!

The best part is, I can sit in it!

I’ll be putting the very good photos JTF4 took in the second post of this thread for version 1 of the build

That color is so crisp. I was scrolling through the forms for motivation for my MK7 and this has been inspiring. Great looking work!

First bits of progress, Crimson was kind enough to wire up the audio suite for my helmet. Unfortunately this undertaking has me drilling holes into my helmet.

Just had to take it slow but it fits the microphones

Should have more pics when I actually install the system, which I admit is a bit intimidating
