My gf works the late shift at Taco bell, so I have to stay up to wait for her (it's fine though, my schedule's been all jacked this semester anyways, I don't have class till noon at the earliest). Anyways, to pass the time I've been burning the midnight oil, and blew through the entire cod arrangement. Unfortunately, while the plates do move if I had secured them to my thighs they would have torn apart when I went to crouch, and I seek to maintain as much mobility as I can while wearing this thing since it covers so much of me and will inherently restrict mobility.
Anyways I've finished the ass:
And here's the front, with the legs arbitrarily folded into it
It's worth noting that this is how they naturally fold just from gravity and disassembly, so I can probably get a bit more compression with some precision part placement. Here's how they lay currently though
And how the whole arrangement looks outstretched:
It mostly fits, just some slight cutting and filling to do around the G string so that it doesn't get in the way of my legs as I move, and my natural movement won't tear it apart (can't have that) Also I did a test fit to ensure the knees came to the proper height on me before work began, rather than waste time later rerigging everything:
So hopefully I'll soon have the shins done (lot of magnet work to redo on them) and then I can fill in the missing plates, complete the rigging, and add soles to the feet so I don't get stabbed by rocks as I walk.
