Still moving forward with this build, I have lots of updates for the journal, first one is I have rewired the helmet so I can slip it on and off without hoards of cables getting caught up, I now have a single 3 strand wireing loom that connects to the helmet and runs down the neck seal.

I have fixed the mic to the inside of the helmet and removed the whole audio pic up board and relocated it to the left gauntlet, that has gone in to the flame unit as it has the best use of space, so now everything is controlled from that one gauntlet, I did move the fans to the rear of the helmet and kept the power supply in there.
The main reason for all this is so I can use proper headphones I needed the space, I trialed it and I can now get the helmet on and off with ease if I need to take a brake when trooping, I still retain the voice amp, audio pic up, working range finder ( with lights) and blower fans.

its a right jumble but its all in there
I had a great opportunity come my way, a fella on FB was looking for cos players to come to his studio and have free photos taken, in turn I would get 10 hi res pictures done and he can use them for his portfolio, 3 of the pics will have a back drop added and the other 7 would be promo style pictures.
My day on set
