Well this is it finally!
A nice lucite ring (Thank you Zabana!) with 10 sets of copper core windings soldered at the top terminals.
The LED array below is not too overstated, yet significantly bright I think...
A nice mixture of steel, Aircraft aluminum and copper... I am pretty happy with it

The Armour!!
The targetted armour shells are now fibreglass hardened and are being cleaned up from the resultant globule residue.
Note: The grey sections are the main high-stress areas that were fiberglassed; the clear sections are Vacu-Formed ABS primarily used to reduce weight at the most-distal points to the trunk... the exception being the abdomen itself which was an overall weight reduction choice.
Without tech installed, the suit comes in at about 35lbs. I estimate the final weight to be approximately 40lbs +/- 3lbs.
