Okay, I meant to have this done by this point in time, but life happened and now I'm rushing to have a presentable suit for Dragon Con in a few short weeks. Oh the pressure, I can barely take it.
I hastily pepped the helmet today.
I think it may be just a little snug, but I'll fix it after I rondo it. It fits now, but with padding and electronics and such in it I might need a little more room i which case I figured I could cut and expand it and still keep it looking good. I can't afford to be a perfectionist this time around.
I'm going to try and do a minimum of one piece of pep a day for the rest of this week. I cant buy resin till this weekend and I wont have time to start until monday. Then I'll continue pepping every day while working on the resin and detailing of the other pieces. I'm going with rondo as opposed to fiberglass this time around due to time constraints.
The helmet wont fit over my head, even if sized properly so I'm going to make part of it removal.
The red colored part above is what I was contemplating making a second piece that attached via velcro, magnets or something similar.
I haven't really decided on anything yet, this build is kind of rushed. I started playing around in vanity and I'm thinking I'll go with the AA helm, Recon shoulders, the default chest and gauntlets(wrist), FJ/Para knees and the hard case. So it should look something like this. Nothing is stone till its done though.
I'm not planning on the time for a weapon. The armor is pushing it. I may incorporate some storage in the chest/back piece when its done though, if nothing else. Gotta have somewhere to put con swag.
