I was wondering why people didnt try to make their undersuits more accurate too.

The neck seal looks great by the way!

that undersuit looks very realistic and good to use. kinda reminds me of a wetsuit for scuba diving.

I think I&#39;m going to be picking up a body suit pattern from walmart tommorow and some fabric. Then Im going to work at my sewing skill. Heck, Ive learned so many things from building this suit. Its crazy. Molding, casting, clay sculpting, fiberglassing, painting, strapping, and fixing to be sewing. Then Ill be doing electrics with fans, leds, and such.

BlueRealm...

good to see you in the thread [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

I figured you might be doing an undersuit :-p

Looks like rubber for your neckseal?

P.S. Just spent about 3 hours looking at reference... redrawing, and then filling in the blanks with what I&#39;m going to be using as the design for my undersuit.

If i can get my scanner working tomorrow i&#39;ll scan it and clean it up (possibly make an .ai from it)... we&#39;ll see

For a neckseal rubber would be best because any other material would be impossible to get on unless you have a zipper on it.

Here is my idea, It wont be as accurate, but its pretty dang close. What you could use is those padded suits and pants those moto-x guys use. Just get one in all black and your good to go. This was posted somewhere before but i dont remember exactly where.

yes... "that would do"..

But that&#39;s the very thing I&#39;m trying to get people to see past.

Ok, so maybe I over-exhaggerated on the "3 hr" part. But here is what i drew last night from looking at the reference.

I drew the armor on the left half (this is what we all have seen quite clearly)...
and on the right Is what I imagine (pending some changes i&#39;ll make in illustrator) is what we cannot see under the armor.

The goal is to make a full bodysuit that looks good in its own right, but replicates the "visible" spaces that we see on the chief.

Again, i&#39;ll be cleaning this up and modifying it in illustrator.



You can see on the legs that i drew what looks like a climbing harness. I don&#39;t like that. It will be gone in the next version.
