I've been annoying the Mercs for a few days now. Apparently I'm not allowed to make the helmet out of foam. Which means I now have to think of an alternative. They advise against using suntuf (pvc foamboard) for the dome, as it doesn't curve overly well. But surely, if I cut multiple wedges (think pizza), and curve those then it should work?
So far I've got a dark blue flightsuit, boots, fabric for a cape (because capes are cool) and leather for a possible underbelt. I've ordered some silver satin for a sash, and am looking at an ammo belt. The leather belt and sash should technically keep the approvals team happy, but the ammo belt will make a nice back up plan. I'm debating whether to dye the flightsuit black. It'd be easier to coordinate with everything else, but there are a lot of black suits out there. So blue would add some variety to the world.
Any ideas for weapons? I'm tempted to work a retractable blade into the guantlet. I'll have to check with the approvals team though, as an aussie mando is convinced they're not allowed, yet I've seen at least 4 approved members with the tips of blades sticking out of the tops of their guantlets. I'll eventually be joining the Assassin and/or Sniper brigade, so it makes sense to be able to neutralise targets silently.
I'll probably buy a toy sniper rifle and add greeblies etc to it.
Darts could be fun, but I'm not sure if I've got the skills to make fancy gauntlets.

Fear. Fear attracts the fearful. The strong. The weak. The innocent. The corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally.
