Captain Powers And The Solders Of The Future

[scruffynerfherder]

I have looked through here and have not found any mention of Captain Powers and the Soldiers of the Future. I know it is old but, I think that there may be some people on here that may remember it with great fondness. I was wondering if anyone was interested in making the different armors for this? I don't have any pictures for reference for right now but, I will be looking. Just wanted to see if any one else had an interest. Thanks for looking.

That would be it. I have been looking for some reference pictures for all the soldiers and possible models. I don't know what I am going to find because it is such an old television show. I have all the episodes on dvd. Hopefully we can get a enough people to look that we can start putting these things together.

I remember this show wow... I will look to see what refrences I can find for this as well.

I believe somebody over on the RPF worked on the show, he had posted a few early production photos up... I'll see if I can dig up the link.



It's just Captain Power, btw (referring to the title of the thread). I loved that show and had most of the figures and vehicles. It does not hold up well now at all, though... Still fun to think back fondly on it.

There is a group on Yahoo that was made for Captain Powers and the Soldiers of the Future. They keep talking about a second season but, I don't know if they are talking about fan fiction or if this is something in the works. If they are going to so some more shows, I would love to write the scripts. Here is a website that you can download the first two issues of the comic book.

You'll have to unzip with 7zip or other unzipping application.



Here is an interview from someone how worked on the set and the armor.

I found my Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future dvds and I will start making some screen captures of the dvds and see if I can put some reference pictures up tomorrow. Has anybody had any luck on their searches?

 

[scruffynerfherder]

Here are some reference pictures for "Scout" from Captain Powers and the Soldiers of the future or it could be one of the bad guys costumes. There really aren't that big but, that is what I have so far. It looks pretty easy to make if you ask me.







I will try to have some more by the end of the weekend. Let me know what you think.

 

[scruffynerfherder]

When I look at some of these costumes, I think about Stormtroopers, Clonetroopers and Darth Vader. I think that with a little modification we can build ourselves the Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future! Costumes.

 

[JEStudios]

Hmmm nice pictures it does look a little like storm trooper and moded.. but I will look closer after I get out of work.. but looking good so far with the refrence pics

 

[scruffynerfherder]

Thanks. I'm like a pit bull, I don't let go very easily. I keep looking until I am satisfied. I figure if we can get a hold of some good pictures we could use blender or some other 3d software to make 3d models and go from there. There is also something called video trace or something like that, that google is coming out with that allows you to trace an object from a video or picture and creates a 3d model of it. I'll have more later.

I loved that show so much.

 

[scruffynerfherder]

I bought the dvds from some where online and they were decent copies. I think that I can get some reference pics off of them and try to make of 3d models from there and see where it goes.

 

[scruffynerfherder]

I haven't gotten around to it jet but I will be doing the screen caps from the dvd's that I have soon. Just bare with me.

the bearded dude looks like the security guard on Running Man, that older Arnold flick. I'm usually pretty good at spotting stupid stuff like that, heh.

 

[scruffynerfherder]

You would be correct on that one. I believe that he has been in a lot of television shows and movies.



Here is the wikipedia on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sven-Ole_Thorsen



The dude was every where it seems.
