I have the LIon Battery from my original build over 9 years ago. Still holds a charge.

Oh, and do I have to worry about resistors and such or does the Profeeboard come with all them built in?

So the rest of this will turn my V1 build into a Pixel?

And thanks for the wire tip too!

Yea, I've done the thigh pieces like that with my Iron Patriot armor. I'm gonna try the Velcro first because they feel like they fit perfectly before they slide down. Nice and tight, so I'm hoping...

Purchased some gloves from Walmart in the men's section. But, they are leather/poly fabric that I could paint with metallic sharpies to give it a metallic/sci-fi look.

Here are the shin and chest sections and the overall look so far. The gauntlets and hand guards are still left to paint and Those pesky pouches.

Using a small paint brush I...

On the belt I've started an accent piece and while it was still wet I balled up a piece of paper to apply scratches to dry as a 'weathered' or used armor look.
