Then you know what a lot of the senior members are on about.

Hell, even the costume sub-division of this place has the name "Replica" in it.

Thats all my point is. Go for broke, try your best to make it look as best as it can.

Its all about the attitude, not the tools. Determination will get you there.

TMP, you followed the design of the original suit where there are rivets.

I dont see WarMachine, MKVI, Stormtroopers, Clones, with rivets on them.

Hehe in fact not.. Its an optical illution also as the original suit they just drilled holes. However i did take the liberty to use some rivets on some very few parts. Made it easier for some straps and minor details I was just playing you a bit arround

Honestly, in all my years going to conventions and browsing armor costumes (since 2001) i have yet to see rivets on a costume that werent in hidden spots. Am I missing something here.

Now if the rivets were used to put nipples on the costume that would be worth the effort to try to snuff out...
[edit]

The point may be moot, this website says that rivets are IN!
