Made some pretty significant progress the past couple days, the chest piece is almost entirely done, I just need to finish painting the cod piece and glue it on, and the entire front torso is done! There is still a ridiculously large amount of work to do however. But, here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

N7 Armor day 11
Been making slow progress, I got Diablo 3, so my attention has been elsewhere >>
That being said, I jumped the gun a little bit and started painting. The upper chest piece is about the only piece I have done, so I figured I'd paint it and see what kind of paints I needed to buy, etc.
Here are some pics, let me know what you think.

N7 Armor, day 9
I'm not really sure if it's day 9 or not, but I figure it's close enough to start a count. I restarted the two main back pieces, as I botched the previous ones. Made a discovery that it's better to make one piece every 1-2 days, and take breaks in between, lest I burn myself out.
Anyhoo, the progress!
I cut and marked the details for the arm guards, I yanked the old raised bit off the first one because it turned out a little too meh for my tastes so I pulled it off and re-cut it.

I'm still trying to figure out a good way to make the details that aren't straight lines, the one small grinding bit I had turned out to be pretty useless. So maybe another trip to the hardware store to pick up a couple decent bits is in order.
For other pieces, I cut out the two back pieces and marked half the detail on the neck/upper back, and actually cut the detail on the lower piece, as seen here:
Just gotta keep remembering, slow and steady wins the race! haha.
Anyhoo, I work a little early tomorrow, but I'll see if I can't make some kind of progress.
Also, if any of you have a facebook account, shoot me a like! (https://www.facebook.com/HappySalesmansProps)
