my God ! awesome job on those suits !

Um. Wow! Did you do much photoshopping to the final pics, or are they somewhat raw? The colours are wonderful.

Looks like they used a setting on photoshop that turns pictures into paintings.....at least that is what it appears to be.

Suits turned out fantastic! Great job!

great job n lovin the weathering

Those are great suits. So great in fact that I bought one of them. Unfortunately, I haven't worn it yet.

Seriously badass builds! Love that shot with the four of you with helmets on, looks like you stepped right out of the game.
