Looks GREAT!
Love all the photos, esp the (((Helmet HUG))) lol

I don't see any salt and pepper holes or slit... how is the (or is there?) vision out of the helmet?

At the moment, vision is non-existent - the slit above the roving eye is about an inch or two where my eyes actually are... I can pull it off when I'm not wearing the toilet seat, but thats kinda an integral part of the costume LOL

Love the suit so far - still working out some small kinks tho - some things just don't feel/look right..

Things such as:
-- Vision (see above LOL) (Ok, thats a big one LOL) - Gotta drill salt & pepper holes - just have to figure where :)
-- Belt placement... It feels like the belt buckle should go under the back skirt, but my wife says it cant be be done (she's helping me into it...)
-- Strapping - In the pix, the strapping to hold chest and back armor on is more obvious than I expected... I didn't see it in other people's pix - either they hid it or I'm doing something wrong
-- There is a small tear in the undersuit pants seam that I just need to re-sew..

Other than those issues, I really do love it...
