Ok, updates from the weekend:

By the way, that chest plate center was made with one piece of foam and some strategic cuts.

Your skills have certainly get better since your last project mate, those lines are super smooth and seamless.....isn't your new build gonna take longer with a 15 min wait before gluing each piece?....or...are you cutting everything out first and then pasting glue on all parts?....as always I'll be following this build with great interest

The new build goes much faster now. I can do an entire suit in a week's time now. I trace all the parts ahead of time. When it comes to gluing, I'll coat the pieces, then move on to something else until the pieces are ready to join. I've become much better at "multi-tasking" on the build to keep the production flowing!

So, now, since I've been quite busy with work, here are some updated pics to show of the final build.

So, things have been a bit busy with business and such, but I wanted to get some more production pics up and some finals of the suit all painted up. Also, I'm going to be posting up some pics of our new 3 piece molded arc reactor. Here they come.

WOW....I knew this build was going to come out great, your cuts are clean and the detail is amazing, makes me want to build a new suit now....might go for a 5mm foam mk XLII

Thanks again for the comments. Using the contact cement and perfecting my cutting techniques has made all the difference. Good luck on your new suit project and keep me posted on the progress. I'll be starting a build of 3 suits at once August 1st. I'll throw some updates here as I progress.

So, the MK 4 Patriot had a starring role in a video promoting a client's business. We'll post a link to it when it's complete. In the meantime, here are some stills from the shoot.

I can't begin to look at that pile of foam, knowing the hard work it's going to take to make it disappear lol
