Thank you for the help... However I regret to announce that this project has died (at least for the time being)
After the Daz71 situation which set me back $1,000 on my budget, the guy sculpting my armor had a lot going on and wasn't able to hit some deadlines.
He was great and offered me a full refund, which I took. Lance is an awesome artist and a stand up guy. I just decided I couldn't wait any longer on the armor knowing that I also had to raise new funds for a new bust.
If Lance decides to finish the armor and make it available to everyone I will probably buy one then and that may be the CPR this project needs but for right now I'm putting my efforts toward my home theater room (pics to come soon)
