Here is the stand.
I made the frame part out of 2x4s and the top part out of 3/4 inch plywood.
After some light sanding I wanted to see how it would fit together.
After routing the edge and doing a ton of paint and sanding It is coming out pretty good.
I used a small piece of wood and screwed the boots to the base.
After a quick trip to Lowes for the PVC pipe and connectors I have done the impossible. 2 10 foot PVC pipes can fit inside a Mustang. :cool
I screwed the end cap to the boots, so that the PVC frame could mount to the base.
After a lot of measuring and cutting I ended up with a great frame for the armor.
After I do a test run with armor I am sure I'll have to make some adjustments, but overall it seems to be working great.

Here is the Base Painted.
The base coat on the boots are drying now, and I will be able to do the second coat tomorrow. Once that is done I will be able to do the final tweaks on the stand and it will be done.
On a side part I noticed that I was missing some detail on the bottom part of the back.
I cut out some pieces of plastic, white and black.
Then applied them.
That was the only detail that I forgot to do.
Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Well I painted the boots for the base. Here they are installed.
For extra support, weight, and strength I filled the boots with concrete.
I hope to assemble the stand sometime this week.
Have a great new Year everyone.

Glad to hear you guys like it.
I got it all put up the other day and it looks great. I left my camera at work, so I will have to put up the pictures sometime in the next few days. It looks freaking amazing in my office at home.
The base ways about 50 pounds now. It had to be heavy to balance out the weight of the suit.... scratch-building is a very heavy way to make this armor.

Well, here is the mounted suit.
I am standing next to it to compare the actual size. I am 6' tall.
I also weighed the suit. The base is about 50 pounds, and the suit is about 80 pounds. It was a real workout to wear.
