What do you mean by "just eva foam"? I wasnt aware there was another material available!
For timeline, it will take me about 1 hour per part now. The templates are cut out and sorted into levels ready for transfering to foam so all the working is finished. Ill need to go slower on the right side parts so i dont end up with 2 lefts again!
Ill have the legs done next week, then ill need to assemble the entire suit and mark any trimmings, amend those parts, deal with any seams and sand anywhere that needs it. While working on the foam im gonna continue to trial my paint to get it perfect. Id hope to start painting next weekend. Ill need 4 coats on everything then a seal coat. With each coat taking 3 hours to dry it will be a few days probobly.
Ive still to design the feet and hands. My last boots where too big so im hoping a simple scale drop will do. For a frame im gonna try and build them round some old crocks. The hands are in development still as i dont have the lights sourced.. which is concerning now... until i have that i cant build palms. The fingers are designed and ready however.
Im working on making a chest light atm, but technically i can add that later as i just filled the gap with foam for structure till now.
Time is getting short. Thankfully a 2 week holiday looms. The electronics are my main concern now
