Thanks fellas!
Wor-gar: You don't need one of these - your Kane suit is still in good shape. If it ends up disintegrating - I can help you make a new suit

Suddenly WG begins praying that his suit starts to disintegrate

I am wishing... upon a lucky star

Seeing that almost complete, I'm thinking you should make a 'Lucky Star' Ripley final battle suit in all white. Now that you have the patterns down. With a Ripley sculpt behind the "frosted" visor, it would be so wicked to go along with the Giger Alien.

Just thinking about that match up makes me...

I'm already planning a Ripley
Her suit is actually different in many ways (besides being white) but I definitely can use the same basic patterns.

Wonder if a small company could produce more suit based on your design.

There was one armor component that HT missed that I kept seeing in reference pics. Underneath the chest plate and attached to the right and left rib of the suit are two downward pointing nozzle attachements. They sort of look like nozzle attachments from a vacuum cleaner.

Not sure what they are, but they add a cool detail to the side profile of the suit - so I decided to sculpt them. Can't attach them to the suit until I'm 100% done with the suit and have tinted.

Here's a pic of the nozzle attachments:

Finally had time to sew on the arms. So the suit proper is pretty much done. It just needs the gauntlets on each forearm - which I'm making out of leather. And elbow guards similar to the shin guards. For the elbow guards I'll have to approach it differently then the shin guards since these need to be more flexible since they sit right where the elbow bends.

I'm also making custom chest, shoulder, and back under-garment that will attach the neck bracket to the suit.

Then it's all about the weathering and then the suit is 100% done.

The arms were a pain to stuff but came out really nice:
