Unfortunately, the main part of the costume for my Sam Fisher getup is not finished. In the original games, he used BDU pants and what looked to be a wetsuit top. I plan on using Underarmor due to the fact that it's form fitting and pretty tight, giving the "Spy" look. The goggles are currently a work in progress. I finished epoxying the pvc tubes onto some diving goggles where the lenses of the tubes are made of plexiglass. The Green LEDs are also wired up and just need to be wired to the external switch i'm rigging as well as a 9volt battery. The green LEDs give the "glow" that you see in the games. However, since LEDs don't exactly glow, but look more like a pinpoint light, i'm putting scotch tape over the lenses to spread the "glow" instead of having it look like 3 little green dots on each lens. I'll post pictures when the costume is finished, but i hope to finish it by the end of the year. Being 14 and your only source of income is lawn mowing and babysitting can really screw things up sometimes. I make it a point to take full responsibility of my hobbies. Airsoft included. That means i pay all expenses unless the rare occasion arises that my parents offer to pay for something that is related to my hobbies. I never ask them to pay for any of my hobbies. It's the least i can do since they feed me, love me, and give me a place to live.

Fox, i also noticed that you're located in Quebec. My older brother lives in Quebec and i've interested him in airsoft. He's in Saint Foy.
