A couple BIG BIG updates.
#1 - As proud as I am of my helmet and how it came out for being my first paint up, It was a bit too small for me in proportions. It was a PP2 lineage helmet (recast of a GMH I think unfortunately), which was too squished side to side especially at certain angles it just looked straight up weird on me. I started this project just with intentions of making a nice display helmet, so I didn't put too much thought into it at the time
An opportunity came up to purchase Chris4321's old bucket which is a Uhbif sculpt, fiberglassed (Mine was just resin) and just wonderfully painted by Uhbif's friend in the SE paintjob. I'll still be keeping mine as it's sentimental but the new helmet is just a huge upgrade for my kit, and the paintjob is just a whole new level of awesome

#2 - I had plans to make the scuba harness, but since I'm a bigger guy I wanted to try a soft / lower profile harness out first.
I bought a posture support vest a while back to try out and today I gave it a test with the jetpack straps. I'll be replacing the waist strap portion of it with a seatbelt style and diving buckle. But this is a great lower profile comfortable solution.

Sewed some button holes for the straps in my vest
