Personal suggestion on the helmet hose: maybe you should shorten how much is sticking out? At the moment imo it doesn't really look believable that it would fit inside in comparison to the other side where it is concave and ends much earlier.

Thanks, Christian. I had some other ideas what to do with that hose but decided to stop where it was because it was getting too busy and I've actually gotten compliments on that part. The extruded part gives it a sense of wrongness, I think, and I hope makes it a bit unnerving. Shortening it might make it loose some of the idea that its damaged and doesn't belong that way. I wanted it to be prominent. It doesn't have to make sense. It just needs to be creepy and believable. Have a little under two weeks to wrap this up but doesn't mean I won't revisit some of this stuff in version 2.

 

And speaking of progress. Test fit for the fore arm reveal today.

Some work on the chest and undersuit. I used snaps through the sternum and an inner shirt to attach ti and a second over shirt. I'll cut the ab and chest plates to expose this. I will also likely be putting some form of latex flesh under the ribs for more depth.

This is were things stand at the moment. With any luck I'll have the finished suit up Friday.

Finished the suit and took it to TerrorCon in Providence RI this weekend. Saw Lew Temple and IornE Singleton (from The Walking Dead) who were both impressed with the costume. Lew convinced me to enter the costume contest and I took first place in the zombie category. Anyway. Shots from the Con. We had a great time.

That's really cool

Thanks guys. Round 2 will be at Walkerstalker Boston this Sunday. I've submitted it for Legion approval so here's hoping.  Here's a shot from the contest stage. I don't own this pic. I found it at Nerdcaliber.com.

[TK-0380[TK]]

Just got official approval. My DT is 501st legal.

[Cantina Security[501st]]

Awesome man, congrats. I'm going for approval next week.

How long did it take?

[TK-0380[TK]]

I submitted it 2 weeks ago. There was apparently an issue that needed to go to deferral for a few days but it's all passed now.
