Even if I'm still in process of creating my Hazop armor I can't help but start a new thread about my newest project - Agent Carolina from RvB season 15.
So this build is going to be a little bit different from my other ones, cause it will serve some other purposes than just going to cons and photoshoots (man I need to finally get some epic photos of my Master Chief suit). It doesn't mean I'm not going to take it to cons.
Since I've been training martial arts for 8 years now I think it would be amazing to create suit in which I could perform them. And just in case I'm going to point out that this will not be a protective gear for martial arts at all, more of a cosmetic kit for choreographed fight performances.
I decided that this suit will be best because:
A. I like the character
B. Female armors are a lot less bulky, mainly chestplate, so mobility will be better then in any male suits and recruit armor is generally perfect for this kind of stuff, and recon helmet is one of my favorite
C. There are already fight scenes which can be recreated
So main challenges are:
- making unfolds suitable for foam (unfortunately there are no female recruit parts in the armory)
- learning sewing - this will require custom made bodysuit cause morphsuits aren't stretchy enought
- perfect scaling - it can't restrict movement very much so everything needs to be on spot
- seamless attached armor to the undersuit - for same as above
- using skills I've learned from past builds to make this as ideal as possible, using foam of course for quite obvious reasons (I don't want it to be only practical, I want to find the sweet spot in the middle of good looking and practicality) and using heat gun from the begging of the build... not when I'm in 3/5 of the build *coughs* *Hazop*
- Traing to be able to do same stuff in it as I can without it
- Trying to convince my homie to do Tex so we could do fight performance based on the fight from season 15 at cosplay contest... picture it, maybe a cosplay constest with real Tex and Carolina fighting with The Blues and Reds on the screen in the background changing soundtracks.
And maybe doing foam helmet in the end but this is only a possibility if I will feel confident enough to approch it. But for now I'll stick with 3D printed helmet which will need to be reinfored with fiberglass or carbon fiber
And unfortunately I finished the most pleasant task - gathering references (I think there will be a lot of free-handing involved so every reference counts) and it was just watching RvB
Just in case anyone makes recruit armor I'll just leave them here. (There is like 50 of them) Maybe someone finds it useful.
