I think though the shininess isn't coming through completely on camera, you can sort of get an idea of it.
I think it's really, really close, but just going by the reference pictures you posted, I think a few lines are still off by a touch and the name is still a bit high.
I just did a very crude and fast markup to show what I mean.

If you compare the marks to this photo, I think you can see what I'm trying to explain.
There's a bit more of the gray in the prototype suit than in the actual suit I think.
If you move the red line over, adding more yellow and then just move the name down a bit I think it'll be spot on.
anic:anic:Thanks, Dan, I think I see what you're saying, and I think the picture angle did throw it off.
Though I do still think that if you look at the left shoulder where the seam meets the shoulder, it might be off by just a bit. That would force a bit more yellow material over, which I guess is what I was seeing before.

I know I may be being overly picky here, I just want it to be perfect since you've already done such an amazing job!
You're right about the shoulder part.
Working in stretchy spandex, at 1:6 scale no less, is an EM-EFFING ********...
Don't even get me started on the friggin' quilted sleeves. Wait til you have these in hand and turn them inside out. You'll see...
Okay, here's a pic of the final prototype, featuring a "stock" paint job on the head...
Hopefully, the shininess of the fabric is more apparent here:
Here's another snapshot from my iphone:
Dan, is there a way to fix the Running Man font so that it stays the same size when the outfit is stretched? I might be wrong but I don't think the font got warped like that when Arnie wore it in the movie. Just a small nitpick.
