We go feet first, sir!
Hey guys. I'm kinda new here, just been sneaking my way in after being a lurker for a while. This is my first thread. I'm making it more to keep myself motivated than anything else, because I want to keep going when I see pix of what I have done. But I hope you guys enjoy the pix that I do put up. Comments are surely welcome. I will warn in advance that progress on this is definitely going to be very slow due to some personal stuff that's been goin on and it's about to be summer time, which means hangin at the beach with friends. Anyways, progress will come as it does. Pix!
And with the helmet and foam flak vest on...
My vacuform table is coming along nicely. Since I'm trying to get my cousin into this stuff too, I'm planning on making the body plates into molds and vacuforming all the pieces. This will also allow for interchangable parts for when they break. I HATE making individual pieces. I also plan to remake my flak vest. The shoulders feel like they should, but for soft armor it shouldn't be as stiff as it is in my opinion. I can barely cross my arms and when I do it bends the foam pretty bad, and that's without the chest plate on. That's bad in my book. Also, I'm trying to go for the live action look, and looking through my screenies they have foam like shoulders and padded fabric bodies, which is what I was thinking of doing anyways, so that's my next step.
As a final note (I know, too much typing and a lot of similar pix) I owe a lot of thanks to Hugh. His files are fantastic and I will be using them for this build. The helmet and vest are both from his files, and I have the chest assets printed and ready to go now.
