Hey all!   I've finally got around to getting some work on my soft and hard parts.  This will be my little thread for C&C from the Clan.  Wish me luck! LOL

Here's a few things I've started on.

My jumpsuit is a modified Red Kap worksuit.  I've had a Mandarin Collar put in and have had the ends of my sleeves taken in with elastic.  I've also started with a Brown Vinyl vest which I'm stitching myself.  I have velcro attachments on each shoulder and at my sides.  In this pic, I've yet to sew/secure the right side of the vest.  The bottom of the vest stops right above where my girth and weapons belt will go. 



I've started to cut out some templates for a Modern Armor setup.  The pic below is the initial cut out which has since changed.  I did go with a vinyl vest for now.  Armor color scheme is a bit up in the air still.  May go with a Midnight Blue and Red color scheme.





The boots I've selected are these from Walmart.  No laces but there's a hint of an emblem at the exterior side of each heel.  Haven't figured out how to get rid of that emblem. 



Final thing to share for now is my Headshot Prop's Eviscerator Helmet.  I've been using Bob Dively Model's Liquid Masking Film and have only gotten past the first primer coat, aluminum coat and second primer layer.  Will be adding more liquid masking before moving onto the main colors  (which I'm still kinda on the fence about). 



That's it for now.  This thing called work really is a killjoy  ;)

You might want a neck gaiter or balaclava to go below your mandarin collar so your neck or jaw won't show below the helmet depending on how it sits on you. Vest looks good so far.

Tough to tell how the templates are for sizing. Even if you change them you can refer to how those were sized.

Boots need the brand tags cut off as well, for hiding the emblem try rubbing the boots with some sand paper or against rock/concrete (give a worn in appearance along with blending edge of the emblem.

I've never heard of anyone doing primer after the metallic coat. Usually its primer, metal, base (usually black or grey), main color, detail color. Love the look of the Eviscerator though.
