First up is the helmet.
This thing is beautiful. It has light-up LEDs (not lit in the photos), a removable mask for Face character options, and just looks amazing overall. The only complaint I have is that the eyeslits are slightly asymmetrical. It's not a lot, in fact, no one's noticed it unless I mention it, so I think the right solution here is for me to stop mentioning it.
This thing is a challenge to pad properly, though. It's weirdly shaped and has small eyeslits, so it needs to sit JUST right for the wearer to get any visibility. I'm thinking of trying a hard-hat liner, since padding alone can't get it to sit right without bobbling like mad whenever my wife moves her head.
Next up is the armor. I've done the rough trimming on the bracers so far, but that's about it. Does anybody know what type of LED's would go well on these? I'd let to get them to light up as well. We can't have the helmet lighting up but not the arms! What might be a bit of a challenge is that this armor is sized for a large person. My wife is 5'3" and petite, so I'm going to have to cut this down a LOT. I might need to spend some time on FISD reading up on the shorter troopers and seeing how they handle the forearms there. These will also need to be painted. I'm going to ask Atlis what sort of paint he used on the helmet and try to match it. The helmet's paintjob looks beautiful.
