All suited up
Torso electronics done.
Iron man of Maine dummy suit up
Painting is done. Now for the clear gloss.
Helmet painted
Some more slick shins and abdomen painted up.
Now those are some pretty slick looking thighs if I say so myself.
Started painting with the new paint I got
Don't buy spray paint from VIP in Waterville, it's junk. Half of my cans exploded and the other half came out all chalky in color. The top is paint from VIP and the bottom is Metropolitan nu-life spray paint that I got online. Glad I was able to fix this mess
7 more tacky glue layers to go then plasti dip.
Currently working on the 8 layers of tacky glue on the rest of the suit. Then the 3 layers of plasti dip again. Once done it will be time for the adhesion promoter. Then finally I can start to add some 
The Mark VII so far
The suits electronics.
My set up so far
All done with 3 layers of plasti dip on the Chest, back and abs.
3 layers done of plasti dip on the arms, shoulders, hands, hand guards and feet.
Shiny sheen after 7 coats of tacky glue/water mix. 5 more coats to go for the arms, shoulders, hands, and feet. Then onto the rest.
Currently applying the 12 layers of tacky glue/water mix to seal the foam of my suit. Will post pics when done this whole process. Then it will be time to add 3 layers of plasti dip spray. 
Overall suit progress.

Got the torso, abdomen and cod all connected together with click straps.
Switches all installed in both arms
Installed the first of 6 switches that will control the power to my suit. Instead of on top of the shoulder pods I figured what better spot than right on my forearms.
Mark 7 Arms done.
Updated the plastic hinges to click straps.
New joint
Had to figure out my elbows and how I would give myself free range of motion. I wanted to be able to at least scratch my head. Lol 
This is without the improved joint I made. Hardly no motion
Old joint
