N7 Armor Finished! (Pic Heavy)

Been working on this build since July. I was able to finish a few days before Halloween. I've just been using my social media accounts to keep updates rolling out to friends and family but wanted to post here since I got a lot of tips from users on the RPF.

I have a few more things to go back and fix and adjust after a few malfunctions after wearing the armor all day and night on Halloween. The boots didnt hold up too well, the soles ended up giving out and fell through. I need a stronger glue to use for them. Also the belt that links between the thighs and ab/back portion came loose cause I glued velcro to the nylon straps instead of sewing them. Lesson learned.

Anyway - I wanted to get some feedback and suggestions on what I might be able to add or improve on. Here are some pics I took during Halloween and today for N7 day.

Also credit to AxiomUltra designs. He let me use his templates, I just adjusted from there and made a few changes to the helm and ab and back.

Wow. That is absolutely awesome. Were there many problems you encountered with this build?

Thanks! Yeah there were a few problems I ran into. When making the chest I had to make a few extra EVA cut because I had to make two layers for the chest to make it look correct, and bending the two layers and keeping the measurements correct was a pain.
Everything else came along alright. After I finished the build I ran into strapping issues with the thighs and connecting them to the ab and back plate. I came up with a belt system but I was in a rush and didnt sew the nylon straps to the velcro - glue didnt hold up.
 
Awesome stuff I have been wanting to make a set myself. Just a quick question what did you use as a bonding agent for your EVA? Keep up the great work.
