Unless you have another suit in the works, why wait?
I have a lot on my plate right now. But this suit is definitely worth the wait. :3

Got the first forearm cut out today. I'll begin to assemble it in the morning.

Nice! How much time have you spent working on it? Does it take long?

Bicep #1 pepped. It's looking like the scale guide put me right where I need to be in the size department (that's a first).
Cutting the three shoulder pieces tomorrow. After I pep those I think I'm going to move on to the shin.

Very glad to hear that!! I tried to make the guide as accurate as i could, but each bodytipe is different so it was a little bet...
Anyway you're doing an incredible job and it's really a pleasure to see the files come to life!!
And in the meantime....
Boots will be finished by tonight!! I will post pics as soon as i can!!
However was the forum down just for me or did i miss something?

Thanks man. A pleasure to bring your masterpiece to life. I'm very much enjoying the build. Liking the unfold too!
Don't know if the forum was down, but I've not had any trouble logging on.

MrTropical, your files are incredible! I recently joined this site but have been working on the heartbreaker helmet from a different file for a while in preparation of Comic Con International. Currently I am adding the third coat of bondo. Soon I will be done and I am hoping to start on the torso. I have seen the pictures of your files, and read that I could find them for purchase on the junkyard searching heartbreaker. I have tried this along with entering many other search terms and nothing has come up. Could you please provide me with either a link or a different way of accessing them for downloading. Thanks!

Thank you!! It seems to be working properly now, but instead i've had some trouble with my pc ahah!
Thank you! I've replied to your email with all the info and the link!
and anyway.....BOOTS!
I'm finishing the unfold soon for pep and i'm sending it to gaiatron for the foam one...as soon as it's ready i'll send them!

Progress time. Got all of the left shoulder cut out, and got the top piece pepped. Check it out:
This build has got me often grinning ear to ear. I LOVE these files! I'll try to bop out the last shoulder pieces tonight. I'm anxious to get started on the shin. Also, I'll get set up with a photo bucket acct. for better pics for all you guys to see!
I'm also happy to report that, as you have noticed, no resin yet. That's because all I have is the cheap 3M/Bondo crap resin. Well guys, just ordered some West Systems resin! ONLY THE GOOD STUFF FOR THIS BUILD!!!
I'll post pics as soon as I got more progress.
Also, I wanna thank Mr. Tropical for this awesome work he has done and I wanna thank ALL the kind members who've sent me very encouraging messages! Thank you all for very kind words! But stay tuned.........we're just gettin' started!!! :cool

You did a GREAT job on those boots, my friend! I'm thinking once I finish up the shin tonight, boots are next! And, for the record, there is NO need to apologize for any "late reply". Work this good clearly takes time.
Also wanted to let some of the others know I'll be starting a build thread soon. Been getting a lot of requests for tips and tricks, so I'll be making that happen as soon as time permits. Also want to get more of the suit pepped first.
Of course, any updates on the suit will go HERE first.
Stay tuned.....more to come!

Thank you very much!! You're too kind!!
Here's some work in progress on the neck and i would like your opinion:
For now i've designed it to be "open" which means that the parts will be able to slide over one another and also it won't block the movement of your neck if done correctly, BUT what do you guys think?
Do you like this idea or prefer a "closed" design that will probably be a little more accurate but definetly more uncomfortable?
