Welcome back to the hobby and welcome to the forum, Gordo.
You might also want to ask about that kit in the Figures & Miscellaneous forum, or in the Sci-Fi forum. They're a little further down the page. There are builds there of kits like Iron Man and other Marvel subjects. A good number of builds by guys who installed lights in their models, from scratch, too, and those may help you with your suit.
I look forward to seeing your builds!
Best regards,
Brad
