Well, after being a member here for about 2 years, I think it might be time I show some friggin' progress. 
Most of the armor parts are either currently being made, or I have all the materials to make them, just need to, ya know...make them.
My chest plate is a Laws plate, purchased way back when he first started making them. It doesn't have the cool shoulder strap indents his new chest has, but that'll be covered by the mantle/cowl. Still need to get hold of a backplate though.
I've ordered TB shoulders, one will have ridges added, and the other will be cut to a more standard clone-style shoulder. Biceps...nothin' yet. I've got templates for the elbows, just need to cut them out and make them, should be pretty simple. Forearms are about halfway done, still need to make the triangular shape on the front. Handplates=done.
Knees are almost done, just need to fill in the seams. Shins, kinda stuck there. I've made a few templates, but none seem to look right. I'll keep on truckin'.
And...the helmet is currently in planning stages. Got a baseball helmet I'll cannibalize, and add the "skirt" and "goggles" to it.
Only have pics of the knees and chest plate right now, since the rest is in the basement, and it's too cold down there right now.
