How do you picture the patented Kelly Suit?

Or something a bit more sophisticated, like the Hardlove Steam Driven Impervious Suit, Hartliebe Krieghosen, or Ironcladman?

Well the Bandits are based on Ned Kelly and the boys, and the original suits were quickly put together. I like the naval landing team models I am personally going to getting some in the new year for my Knights Templer army, I would go with these over the bandits if you are going for a professional military look.
The dive suits look like light walkers and those Prussian things look like crude robots.

But the "patented Kelly Suit" is about the highest individual armor in IHMN while, as you noted, Ned Kelly actually put his together rather crudely from shovels and things available to a blacksmith.  I would think the IHMN suit would be a great improvement on that.

Edward Kelly, now Governor of New South Wales, did start out with the ploughshares hammered into armour as he battled the corrupt police of his youth. Later though he worked with a pair of engineers John Armstrong and Hiram Whitworth to produce an armour that was a little lighter and better articulated yet still shotproof. The high cost of this Patent Kelly Suit has had it restricted to a few specialist roles such as leading assaults into buildings and bomb disposal.
