    The chest piece is looking good. The lights on the arc reactor look a little diffused though, it would be nice if it were a little brighter maybe?

    I agree it could be brighter, but when I didn't diffuse the LEDs you could see the ring of light they put out. Which made it look a little funky, I guess I could maybe add some more LED or something.

    I probably won't use this one for the chest piece in my suit.

    Oh yea and thanks to Indyfilmgeek for sharing a good source of buckles (Wal-mart). I bought 2 boxes of 2in buckles to join my back to the chest along with 2in webbing. Also thanks Stealth as I am using your setup lol.

    The buckles and webbing was just over $3 can't beat that..

    Anyone know if Chicago screws go by any other names? I went to home depot and asked for them but they gave me a strange face and said they never heard of them :/

    I'm going to need them for my arms. Thanks in advance

    I love that foam you are using, much nicer then the traditional thicker floormates, I may have to get my hands on some for something I want to try. Nice work all around, I like where it is going.

    I don't know if it was just me or what but i had a hard time doing these biceps. I kept changing things cuz i thought they looked weird. I still think they do, not unhappy but not extremely pleased with them.

    I'm not sure why you wouldn't be happy with them, I think they look awesome and you did a good job of getting them to be identical! Hats off to you

    Finished up the forearms. The elbows aren't pictured because they are still curing after I epoxy(ed) them.

    Some edges are darker. What i did was i join all the seams then reinforced them. After that i went back over any seams with excess glue with my glue gun tip and smoothed them over. My though is when I spray the parts with plasti dip none of the glue gun beads will show, thus creating smooth lines (in theory).



    and i forgot to include these ones with the bicep update...
