Epiccc. completely... amazing.. ^_^
Thanks! Your armor set the stage for women to build their own. Impressive work and can't wait to see your next one!
don't forget to leave a spot for that Power Cat Logo!!!
Your armor turned out great, I like the red leds, and the shoe/boots...I am going in the same direction mostly, except I am using the large foam pads from harbor freight to make full size soles for my boots, still a work in progress, but will post pics when I get it going...
I am using the magnets to keep the chest together just like longshots...I am using magnets out of a bunch of old hard drives I have laying about, those lil things are pretty darn strong...and I will be putting one in my piston and thigh, have not decided if I am gonna put one in my rifle yet? what you think?...oh and don't say a dang thing about the skull dragging Nebraska put on us...that was very painful
A spot will be available.... but I dont think any pussy cat will find its way on there! haha
I also went with the magnetic method like LongShot, and had clips installed just incase a magnet gave way.
Magnets in both your weapons would be awesome! Plus if you get tired of carrying a weapon you can just stick it to the armor. I think the pistol should go to the thigh and the AR should somehow attach to your back.... However, if your suit comes out like mine someone would have to put the AR on the back for you b/c of the range of motion once in the suit
If you can get magnets to hold it up I think it would still look sweet (might look at some photos of how its positioned in the game)
Good luck on your build, put up some progress pics ASAP!
Nice to see another Oklahoman here, I live in Tulsa. I'm really digging the armour dude.
Sweet! Another OKIE! You have been a member for quiet some time. Did you build your own armor? I seen some pics of you I think but couldn't find your WIP or atleast with photos anyway? Also seen that you did some 3D modeling, THATS AWESOME! Wish I knew how.
amazing work, i love how you left a bit of the pitting from the bondo in the back it adds a bit of character to the suit, great work mate.
Thanks, it orinally occurred because I was to lazy to bondo... sand...bondo...sand, but once the paint was applied I kind of liked the battled look.
I've been following your progress since you started this thread. I really liked how your armor turned out for you! Great work indeed! The lights definitely add to the suite very well! Congrats on your first suit!! I will be reviewing your thread for when I make my own spartan armor for inspiration! (if I ever finish off Iron man lol)
*edit* oh and BTW, what are the black tubes everyone uses on their helmets? The vent hoses or whatever.. they all look the part and they all seem the same for everyone. Did I miss what everyone uses for that part??
Thanks! BTW I have been following yours too and it may have just compelled me to give IronMan a go....
I really don't know how everyone else is doing the hosing on their helmets. I just found some tubing around the house that was close to the right size and did some cutting and trimming so I could squeeze it in there.
