Chad's Snowscout costume; I need feedback

I was going to wait until it was complete, but I'm almost done with my Snowscout costume. I just need to finish the visor, thermal detonator, vest, and neck seal.

What do you guys think? I need some feedback while I still have time to fix things, so feel free...

I don't know what the requirements are but I like it. The only things I'd suggest are finish up the chest plate with the buttons and all that, and get a balaclava for the back of your neck. Other than that, verrrrrry nice

Wow. Very cool. Now we just need a white Christmas (since I'm not buried not living in the Springs like some mods around here :)

What machine pistol/blaster is that?

Thanks for the comments! I plan on adding everything you all mentioned to the costume pretty soon. I'll post pics when it's done. I just added some pouches (Ghst915's idea) in place of the thigh boxes so it's more like the Snowscout drawing.

The weapon is a carbine based off the concept drawing below. I choose it since I'm doing a costume based off a concept drawing.

Here are some pics to compare. (Carbine left, Snowscout right.)

And great carbine. I must have missed that. Looks closer to the WWII machine pistol roots than other blasters, ie less doo-dads. Looks great.

Pouches much better than boxes too.

Thanks guys. A few more days and I should have a neck wrap, vest, and better pouches made and shipped to me. Can't wait.

Zollida, I'm glad you like it. I hope I gave you some ideas you can use for your's if you decide to do any more mods.

Thanks man! Well, I think I'm done. Here are my updated pics. The only thing I didn't do is the rank on the chest. I think I'll go blank for now. I got an off white vest and neck seal, and some off white pouches.
