Awesome build. I need to get working on a mannequin. You mentioned it was from eBay, do you remember which one specifically? Did you do anything else to stabilize the mannequin?

I don't see the exact one I bought, it was 2 years ago, but this is similar. Fiberglass Male Headless Mannequin Dress Form Display MC PM1BW2 | eBay

I created a new base and it uses longer anchor screws to keep it in place. I also used some duck tape to stabilize the mannequin where it breaks down even though I've never had an issue but can't be too careful!

Thanks for the info. I'm going to attempt something similar. Appreciate the inspiration!

bcurtis was nice enough to sell me his Dakota jetpack collar because it didn't fit his pack. I had to dremel and sand down my old MOW collar to get that small yellow collar piece that you see. It'll need to be touched up with some yellow paint but it looks great!

 

[bcurtis]

So glad this worked out for ya, buddy. Looks great!

My newly painted shin tools from Lou!

Got some updates:

Received pictures on September 16th of my helmet so these are a little old. I hope the helmet has seen some work since then, fingers crossed:

Now at 1st I wanted to finished my RKD gauntlets myself but I am not that talented. Dom (Fett 4 Real) had some FP shells to go along with my FP greebies and offered a slot in his schedule to finish my gauntlets. This update was sent to me today:
