Hi MTCOOLJ. I have question. May already you have answered this question, but what's the name of this shade of red paint on your suit? Colour is perfect.
I'm not exactly sure what the shade of red is.. It's whatever red Leslee is using on his new IM suits, I'll probably end up getting the color scanned at my local paint store though. Leslee was kind enough to send me extra paint a couple times to keep the suit touched up nice. I'm finishing up on all my hinges in the next few weeks and I'll see if I can't get a paint code for you

When you order one from Leslee I believe you can pay a little extra to have one sent with it, but all it is, is the halo led rings I pictured, I'm actually still hunting around for a good lightsource.. i have one already that works for now but I know I can improve the size and performance.

Just wanted to ask and see how everyone was putting their arms together for the suit. I have everything figured out on my masked rider mark 4 except the bicep, forearm and shoulder. Just trying to figure out the best way to get them on and keep them in the right place

Got a Mark IV from Leslee. Super guy, btw. Here's a few pictures of everything minus the hands and handplates. Pretty much everything is held together by both normal and spandex straps, and a couple of magnets for the hands. I made no permanent alterations aside from trimming down the front of the neck and drilling holes in the arm joints. I have no knee hinge whatsoever. I just lined the bottom of the calf pieces with felt to prevent scratching the paint on the boots. The thighs and arms are strapped to a harness. The arms are one piece along with the shoulder. I'm in the process of modifying the eyes to fit better.

Hi guys, This thread has been brilliant! I just got my MR suit about 2 weeks ago, from a guy in germany who had it on once. some of it was strapped already but I have been working on alot of issues over the last 2 weeks, firstly....im a bit to heavy to get it closed around the mid rift lol so i made this out of leatherette, while im on a serious diet. im a 36 wait and im about an inch two wide around the love handle area. but it gets me out and about in the suit. I also removed the eyes that came with the suit and made my own which I can see through (pics to follow) my only issue is walking in it, my knees and shin piece seem to be grinding and restricting movement, i seen the hinges that you made...where they any good? could you actually walk close to normal? also the other issue is the gloves. my suit came with different gloves (not MR GLOVES) 501 gloves (i think?) anyone know where you can buy a set right now with repulsers built in that are good quality? perferable with fingers that dont fall off and that you can slide your hand into easily? I also were 3 and a half inch platforms inside the shoes, im 6ft 2 but i just couldnt fill the legs, so the platforms really help, needed to do a fair amount of trimming though to get them to fit inside the IM shoe, but i think a 6ft 5 ironman looks even more epic! lol- - - Updated - - -
this is my suit...minus one glove, ehich i was working on...those are the new eyes aswell- - - Updated - - -
Getting the neck piece closed involved alot of trimming around the lower area and shoulders I didnt cut the top part around the neck at all...this is what it was like when i first got it- - - Updated - - -
the eyes have a very limited view when you get the suit (excuse the tape, i just used it to hold the battery in place while i was testing them out) i will also post up a pic of the new eyes and how i made them, you get to be able to see out of the full eye slot then.
