Ok so, long ago I gave up the option of a 'full suit' focusing only on the torso, because of lack of money mostly.
Now the whole idea is in a mess. See after so many hours of bondo/sanding, I finally gave up on 'perfecting' the outside, slit it open (for the strapping) and found out... it wasn't shaped right even after all the preventative measures.
The shoulders, are too wide. The chest, is a tad small. Just goes to show how disproportional either the Gears models are or that I am.
So... giving up on the hard shell I am using my EVA foam, using the shell as a template and pretty much glueing parts to it to form a slightly larger (and then smaller shoulders) version to wear.
It won't be accurate at all, and I got a lot of work to do in under a week to get it done. So stress is gettin to me.
What do you guys think? Work on the hard shell? Give the shell up and go for foam? Scrap everything and just wait til I have more money?
Eh.. just tired... feel rather beat by all this. Tryin to find some advice really.
Wish my foam looked as good as the foams I see here... gotta be missing something they are doing.....
