btw how are u gona do the lights? any ideas im hitting up radio shack this weekend to look at leds


I will backlight some opague plastic. It will diffuse the light and give it a glow rather than a light look. Just ordered 50 blue leds off of ebay.


That guy is so creepy :D

this build is sweet!! i do have a question about the boots, what are you using for a hinge?

I put a piece of flashing(thin aluminum) an each side of the hinges piece with a hole drilled in them. Then I made a small tube to go into the hole to prevent it from tearing. Then I just used a piece of 16g wire as a hinge pin.

Ur foam work is incredible! Those Baird goggles are unreal, I want a pair!
I have a mold, so casts are possible. Pm if you're actually interested :D

Ok now on to some photos. I have been cat sitting for my sister and brother in-law while they're out of town. So I havn't been able to do any serious work(don't wanna mess up their house and what not). But I did get some inside work done.

Here is the belt. For some reason(the sun was in my eyes) I put the hip and thigh pads on upside down. The top is on the bottom of the belt and the bottom is on the top. Silly me. I will just rip them off and re-glue them. Also I will make the belt a bit larger to fit me a bit better. Other than that, I am happy with how the belt, thighs, wrench, pouches are turning out.

Btw after I get Baird and Jorge done. I will be starting a super secret custom foam suit.

Also, I'm sure only about %1.2 wil know who this is. But for those of you who will, enjoy. Ello.

Gotta say man, epic work, I only have one concern though... no offense but you are a tiny little thing compared to the gigantic foodball-elite sized cog soldiers in game, so it looks a little odd right now - are you planning to fill in some of that with padding/smooth parts or just as/is

Either way its gonna be amazing work - people will just have to adjust their eyes to realize Game People /=/ Real People in proportion. Games get to cheat with physics too, parts moving through other parts or stretching as the model moves - while real life we can't do that sorta thing, "metal" won't stretch and rebound like rubber just because we breathe.
 
This is sick work man! Layering looks great. I was blown away buy just the boots, then I started looking at all the other pictures of your progress. Unbelievable, great detail!
 
Thank you guys. I will have some pics up for you tomorrow. I promise.

No offense taken. I'm 6' tall 170lbs of solid steel...Ok, so I'm not anywhere near their size. I will have the spaces filled with padding and my pants will be a bit loose. It should look right when it's ready. I was thinking about making some "muscle" arms for the suit. What do you guys think about that?
 
holy ****...lol I gotta say, i love this build bro. I'm a big fan of the Gears series and this build is doing the games more than justice. Freakin amazing work man
