That is coming together nicely! If I may ask, where did you get the vest you are wearing? It looks like the shiny type material that is screen accurate.

That's because it is. The vest is made from the fabric that Bobbafettish researched and sold in bulk and was put together by TK409's sister. Can't beat it for accuracy and quality. The fabric is dead on.
I can't wait to completely suit up with my new stuff and post a side by side comparision shot to how my suit looked just a few months ago.
I appreciate your comments. Thank you. That's what this hobby should be all about! I feel that us "old timers" should give back to the group in any way we can... whether it be with tips and tricks, advice, parts or information. We were all there as newbies at one point.
On to the shoulder bells. The shoulders took me about 7 hours to paint spread out over 3 days. I sat in front of the computer using the MoM pics and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I love the comparison shots too! What do ya think?
I have to thank FP for his incredible armor, Rogue Studios for his awesome paints list, Jose for his great painting and weathering techniques, Kripps for his pastel suggestions and anyone else who offered me ideas and suggestions. I'm VERY happy with the results!
