Been modding the armor for a while now and am down to only a few nags. The Thermal Detonator remains unattached and am still thinking of how to keep it secure and be able to take it off easily for when I get into a car.
Got rid of all the velcro and used flat screws to hold the thighs, shins, upper torso and gauntlets together but am looking for some way to be able to take the armor apart without having to unscrew everything.
The armor on the reverse side looks like crap but I'll take some pics soon so that you can see exactly how I fastened everything together.

Starting off with one of those "trying-to-look-cool-and-failing-miserably" no-helmet pics that all troopers seem to have...

If you are in a good mood, go up to the nearest child nearby and make em cry.

Folks in Japan are required to take home their dogs poop (and bake it?) so stepping in poo is not so much of a problem - unless you go trooping in a park full of poo. In a park, K9 owners can get away without cleaning up after because the poo kind of blends in with the mud (unless the poor hound has had something spicy to eat where the poo will be shiny and runny with maybe a tint of orange).
The morale of this story is that you should not troop in mud because its very hard to see out the helmet.
If you troop in Hackney London however, you will see poo *everywhere* - in the roads, trees, on cars...
Not only do you risk treading in poo (and leaving skiddy marks on the back of your helmet after you slip), you also risk getting beaten up by the local folk living in Hackney who have nothing better to do.

    You mentioned that the chest armor looked alittle "flat" during one of your previous posts. I think you could correct it lenghtening the one's at the collar. That should end up with the chest armor's sculpt slightly more noticable. heck you could use duck tape to check it out first, lol
