So much work has been done since I last posted. I finished construction of the helmet and the jet pack is coming along nicely.
I am painting the helmet now which is really fun 
the entire thing is really starting to come together.
I finished up with the ear pieces (which were a b****) and coated them with polycrylic sealer. Then I assembled everything with wood glue. I decided on two major deviations from Wof templates due to my own personal preference. First: I did not cut out a slot for the key hole in the back. I decided I liked the way it looked without one and the one that I had constructed just did not look as good in my opinion. When I make my next one I may decided to do so but for my first scratch build I am just not going to do so. Second: due to time restraints and lack of materiel I chose to make my own gauntlets completely by scratch and not following the templates at all. If I had more time it is possible that I could have done a really good job on some, and I may do so in the future just to get them done. But for halloween I am just going to go with my own custom made variants.
I am going to link a bunch of photos of my progress and what the helmet looks like now. Criticism and thoughts always appreciated as usual.
