Soft Parts Creating the PERFECT undersuit: A discussion

[GeneralMayhem]

Looks more like a multi layered construction is neccesary. Some molded pieces combined with some soft construction.

man that looks awesome. arent you afraid it will be a little hot inside though with that rubber and pleather?

This is actually a good possible answer to the undersuit.

If you look at the page on the link below, this guy has sculpted a muscle suit and casts it in sections. The sections are glued to a bodysuit in position to fit the person who is going to wear it. The armor parts are cast from latex and have some flex to them. I'm changing my idea on how to do the bodysuit after seeing this. I think this is the way to go...

Thanks.

I'm working on all high-def pieces, and I was just going to use UnderArmour for my undersuit. Now I'm inspired to greatness. Now I have more work to do.

I must say that that undersuit template that was posted will be extremely useful.

And the neckseal is beautiful. Great job on that.

 

[Zaknal]

is it just me, or does the texture/material for the neck seal look surprisingly similar to the underside of a mousepad?

One could take a thick piece of that kind of material and sew in the vertical lines. Maybe add a velcro strap to the back so one can put it on or take it off easily.

dude! thats awsem! how did you make the hemet and is it posible for any one to do?

I just found the BEST gloves I've ever seen to use for a great MC costume on Amazon - they were in the airsoft section by the brand Hatch -

[attachment=3665:gloves.jpg]

search amazon for "Hatch Defender II with Steel Shot" they have sizes S,M, L, and XL from what i could see- and they have 8 oz. of steel in them \m/ (>.<) \m/

i think its totally worth the 30-ish bucks if you're aiming for the most authentic looking costume.

 

[SPARTAN II]

Tsuyosa, that is one damn fine-looking neck seal you've got there. Definately has the genuine look to it. I like

And RM, nice find with those gloves. I think that is the closest style I've seen yet...

 

[SGT Razor]

Alright, here is my final design.
Hope yall like it.

The pure black that you see on the undersuit is where i plan on using the lycra.

I know someone who could get that made for you. You would only have to send me your measurements... I know, creepy, but hey, they call me "Friendly" for... no reason at all actually. What do you say, are you interested? Is anyone interested?

This should help in this discussion.

 

[LastSpartan]

I do.

 

[Rob]

I don't know if these will help. The textures are not present so there are some details that are left out. We are thinking of possibly vacuum forming foam covered with black stretchable nylon. This would only be for certain portions of the undersuit where the shapes require forming such as the abs and lower back. The inner and outer elbows can be sewn as well as behind the knees and the neck.

Well that looks like I have a winner. We will do that first one out of double Stretch Cotton and quilt it the details like we did with the Tack Vest.

Big help!!

 

[Galganaban]

how far along are you rob?

 

[mowhawkman]

the whole project is so cool
man this must be a lots of work!
