Ok, so here we go. I am using The below picture as my main point of reference, as well as the Sideshow PF Statue. I am cross referencing those two primary resources with some cinematic stills, to make sure this thing is perfect.
In my quest for perfection here are some things that I have noticed by studying the character like a bazillion times:
1: His undersuit is not one unitard style suit. It is actually two different shades and sheens. the lower have is dull and a lighter gray to contrast the black thigh armor. and the undershirt is is more shiny and a darker shade of gray, again to contrast with the gray bicep armor.
2: The gloves are not these motorcycle style gloves that i see everyone using. they are simple plain low cut leather gloves with plain unpadded leather patches sewn over the knuckles.
3: On the back side under the arm pit is a hex pattern. Not sure if this is part of the back plate or the undershirt. I am looking further into this.
4: Malgus makes use of the most interesting patchwork of color sheen and pattern that I have seen in any one costume. the chest piece alone uses a light metallic color, a darker metallic color, and gloss black, and plenty of shading in all the nooks and crannys.
5: The upper boot armor isn't so much a part of the boot as it is something that slides into the boot and overlaps in the front, with a piece that attached to the back over the ankle.
Just a few observations, for myself and any other Cosplayer that wants to attempt Malgus at a super high quality level.
