Thanks everyone for the compliments. It's alot of hard work that's seemed to pay off well, fun times all around!
Yes, the suit is full of "compromises" in design and construction. I've seen enough mirrored visors now to know that's what I like overall, with a red tint if possible.
And again, yes... it needs weathering on the soft parts to match the armor. But I work a certain amount of time on constructing something, it takes alot of courage (or someone else) to paint, burn, and stain my sewing work. I'm always worried I'll screw it up to the point of "you have to make a new suit". Bah!
The concept of the jet pack was mainly "communications", with a bit of juice to quick bursts more for jumping high rather then flying. Although, it is just an old nerf gun originally 
Ronin, I'll try and take some pics of the up-close construction tomorrow, share the details.
