trim the eyes more, other than that, good job! it has eyelids
-
also, on the inside glue the lower part of the face to the top part of the face. that way your seam wont end up cracking.
i used plastic welder to fill the one i did for a squad mate. throw that 'no repaint' idea out the window too while your at it!

looking good!
the eyes look like they need more trimming IMO, especially the right one.

i notice he doesnt have his belt yet either.
atleast not around his waist. look at the leg where the ammo boxes usually are

John, pics help.
a 1/4" doesnt SOUND right though.

I still don't understand why no-one believes what Andrew says?

stunt! heros are for sissys!!

the elastic on the inside of your shoulder bells should be black.
you can trim material off of the sides of the cod for a 'slimmer' fit.
start at about 1/8' for each side.
it can get too skinny quick, so be careful and take your time!

Every seam in my kit is glued except for my calves. Works from me. Works for you?
+1
just make sure you can get your hands through the forearms before gluing them shut

i only use velcro on the back of my shins and if you cant get your hands through...velcro there too. thats really all you should need.

Anyone have the plastic mesh and are looking to get rid of some?
yeah, Lowes and Home Depot does.

mine are vertical, but do what you like. i dont think there is a particular way that is considered canon.

looking good, trooper!
nitpicking here...i would raise the belt drop boxes up a little. they should almost be touching the belt...like, i said...nitpicking

looks good to me. are your ab/back plates attached to each other?
-
you need to have the butt plate on your butt!
what i did was cut my ab plate and stretch it by about 1 1/2" (this gap will be covered by your belt). the FX ab plate it too short and you end up with a 3" long cod piece and then the belt sits on you hips. not good for mobility. the TOP of the belt should sit right under the ab button box and the BOTTOM of the belt should rest righ above the cut line for the back/butt plate. this is where you might find you need to stretch the AB so the belt is high-waisted like the origianls as opposed to wrapping around you hips
