Well.
Looks like the site is back up and running...it's been a while since I been able to see it actually load more than a page of my posts...
Conveniently enough my XV22 is finishing up right about now, and I have a buddy of mine who suggested we get serious.
So here it is ladies and Gents: 7 foot tall Jaegers alla Thorssoli's Space Marines. We're aiming to have them wearable by Halloween and fully functional by either Amazing Arizona Comicon or PHX Comicon. That means by halloween we need all the pieces built, painted, and rigged, along with proper stilts. Mercifully, though my friend is 4' 11 she is suiting up as cherno alpha meaning that we can fudge her height a bit better. This is her first build, but my fourth so it should be an interesting juxtaposition. I will of course be helping her out as much as I can but...well I know how my first build looked compared to my builds now...
Anyway! We have spent the day working. We're using a mix of peps from the RPF and here on the 405th, mixing and matching to get the best proportions and detail we can into each suit. Turns out the base Cherno pep was really airy with all of the pieces as freestanding floaters, so we'll have to tweak that design. As for Gypsy, Progress!
Hopefully she'll be stopping by tomorrow and I can show you some Cherno progress as well!
