Looks like you've got yourself some very nice bits there Tony, look forward to seeing them all cleaned up.
 
defo some awesome parts you got. Looking forward to seeing the end result

Cheers buddy, just gotta get the patching and fettling away done. I'm gonna try and get everything ready for paint at the same time so I have a bit of continuity on the suit. The resin parts I think I'll sort and paint as and when I get em ready

If only there were more hours in a day buddy and it was warmer.
 
i used this stuff for the eyes holes it's aluminium sheet it bends and shapes and you can cut it with scissors and it's cheap here is the place that sells it http://modelshop.co.uk/Shop/Raw-Materials/Item/Aluminium-1-1mm-diameter-hole/ITM6513 you can see out but people can't see in it's good stuff, i have used glass and plastic before they don't really work if you intend to walk about in a full costume

Cheers for that I'll get on it.

Ikle update, I'm half way through doing my chest webbing and fitting my body armour to my back panel. All trial and error at the min but I'm getting there. I've also trimmed up and re detailed my wolf blade gaunt. A ikle bit of fettling still to go and maybe a bit of tweaking. And I'm calling it done ready for primer. Oh and I've sorted getting the AVP body armour over the precast P2 skin....... Also got some more goodies on the way........

Cheers Buddy I will get there fingers crossed before the new film comes out.

Time not being my best friend of late probably means I'll miss my personal Nov completion date. So I've had a rethink about where my suit is going. To be honest it's starting to go not a millions miles from whew I started out but deffo in a slightly different direction. Unfortunately due to the speed of my build and my openness with my plans I have seen a few of my cherrished personal ideas morphed into other suits around the world. I'm not saying anyone is copying , don't get me wrong I just wanna have something truly unique that I personally haven't seen before. Yes I know the half AVP armour has been done before and a few of my other suit parts have been used a million times before. Well enough of that negative vibe.

As I said new direction, new end date. I'll be putting some pics up of random suit parts and when I've got everything on my mannequin I'll post a complete pic. And do a weight total as I planned to. Then onto skin painting

I've sold my Celtic Beserker ...... So new bio ideas on the way....... This Elder s gonna have a new look I've now called him......

The Xeno Exterminator Elder.

I'm hoping most custom builds take a different path as I'm enjoying the hell of of building an alien slaying dreadlocked behemoth from outer space in my garage.

Right I've finished fettling and redetailing the blade gaunt and I couldn't resist hitting it with some primer. Then the little paint pixie kept whispering in my ear " Paint it up, Paint it up" so I've finished it off and thus creating the whole paint scheme for my suit. I've gotta finish the other gaunt and some other parts and I'll drop in some pics.

Parcel on the way from Chuck. Medi Pack, Shins, Cannon & Arm, Blades and his custom P2 mask. Obviously all are going to modified and customised in some way.

I'm still in two minds about some fettling I've done on my body armour. On well only time will tell and some bondo and maybe some more dremmel work.
 
Glad to see you found some new inspiration for the build :) Can't wait to see some pics! The paint pixie has been screaming in my ear for months but the weather here isn't cooperating. So I have to live vicariously through all these other awesome builds. I'm looking forward to the next update!

Yeah the weather is just starting to turn for the better here in Blighty so my suit is beginning to gain a bit of momentum again. As soon as I've got all the armour fitted as I want it and the strapping sorted and waist leather work done I'll pop up some pics. I just wish there where more hours in a day and I didn't need to sleep.
 
Did some more detailing this time on my comp gaunt and may have cracked the random flashing LEDs for it. I'll update when there in and exactly where and what I want. Also halfway through some of the leatherwork for my waist. Got some ageing to do on the leather work but it's deffo getting there and looking old and naturally knackered and weathered. It's really hard to make something look natural.
