I have a set of mark vi armor i am working on, and i have a finished mark vi helmet with a motorcycle visor. i did all my stuff by eye and just cut out two of everything when need be. i still have to finish all the leg armor and then make a upper body fabric piece for the the torso.
i'd be interested in seeing what you've made so far with templates and materials.
as far as the 360 goes. it's a piece of junk and the only game that's cool is elder scrolls. save your money
video games have gone way down hill. there aren't any stories anymore, just graphics and guns. i still have my n64, psx, nintendo, SNES, sega, and atari. even my xbox doesn't seem outdated to me even though people treat it like its obsolete now since 360 is out.
