Custom Mark V [B] from the undersuit out

[turtle509]

After several frustrating attempts at various other projects, I have decided to build a complete Mark V [B] set of armor. As the title says I am going to start with the undersuit and work my way out from there. Thanks to the wonderful work of Tsau-Mia I now have an accurate layout of the undersuit. With some modifications to make it fit the male body, I hope to have it layed out into patterns to be cut from foam soon.
I also have a few pieces already peped, and i finally found my webcam so I will post pics of what I have done so far tomorrow.

Wish me luck.

Here are the pics i promised you. I have a JFO, and a Gungnir Helmet peped but i'm not going to use the gungnir one until i can figure out how to make it so i can see with it on. I also used Tsua-Mia's undersuit design as a guide for my own patterns. i'm sure there are going to be a lot of changes to make it work for me, I'm pretty sure i'm just a bit larger than her bit in height and width. i have a few of the smaller pieces of undersuit drawn up and ready to be cut from foam but i didn't think i had enough to take pics of yet. The folder with the duct tape on it is the files i'm going to use for the base mark 5 armor. Other than the jfo helmet i haven't decided which perms i'm going to make first. if you guys have any you would like to see built first let me know and ill do the most popular ones on this set. If the one you wanted isn't one i pick don't worry, i plan on doing them all(the ones i have files for anyway).

Here is another update, finally got enough foam cut to start building. and no i don't own a sewing machine so everything is sewn on by hand.







and to answer you question smallluke, I got that layout from Tsua-Mia's undersuit thread. Here is the link.
