I've been retreading this project, fixing things that needed it, finishing things previously left unfinished. There's necromancy in Skyrim, right?
This will mostly be a photo-dump, as a couple things are still getting worked out.
My main reference was a big multiple angle render of the game model set up cgjeff style -

The biggest issues with the costume as it was in '13 were the lack of an undersuit and weathering. So I fixed those. Picked up a cheap airbrush and tried to add some texture with just passes of brown-

I also put together a quick ?pleather? undersuit- just traced something that looked right based on some pajama pants and an old longsleeved tshirt and took it in until it fit (sort of)
I also put together a quick base for some of the multi-part armor areas to attach to - just felt around craft foam, assembled with spray adhesive then stitched up. Armor is temporarily attached with Barge, I'll add some bolts with large washers at the back once they ship in. These hang from the belt, and the knee cop buckles around the back of the knee.
I also repainted an old weapon and assembled one of
Yodajammies ' Glass Axe kits.
More to come - currently looks a bit like this
