Big update. Took some time off for the holidays, and now I'm back at it.
Forearms, gloves, and handplates.

Thigh plates with Chicago screw attachment:

The thighs and shins are attached this way. The knees have magnets in them, and then corresponding magnets sewn inside the flightsuit so they can just *pop* on and still have a tight hold.

Since the thighs and shins are "permanently" attached to the suit (via Chicago screws), it travels like this:

Today's critique:
- Knees and shins could use some separation. They seem a little too close to each other.
- Legs and short sleeves on the flightsuit are a little too baggy for this character. They should be taken in a bit.
Still left to do on this costume:
- Padding in holsters for blasters
- Padding in helmet
- Helmet visor
- Strapping for boot armor
- Better neck closure on flightsuit.
