Hi guys!
As you can tell from my "noob" title, I am rather new to this forum, so if there's anything I should know please don't hesitate to make me aware. I also welcome suggestions and healthy criticism, please do not be afraid! I have not posted much but I have been lurking and learning the tricks of the trade as best as I can, so hopefully I don't act too stupidly.
I've started on my Tex armor and been working on it for about three weeks now, but school is very demanding and so my project is going slowly. I have a handplate pepped, and the other is in the later stages of pepping. I've gathered the majority of the materials needed for the undersuit as well. Pictures will be posted when I am done with my handplate peps.
I'm going to be putting a great deal of focus into the undersuit, as I believe a good undersuit really makes the armor look more intricate and realistic.
Here are my ideas, please make suggestions and voice your opinions if it's not too much of a bother
I might use athletic clothing for the base. A long-sleeved (turtleneck?) breathable black top, as well as some athletic leggings.
These are a little more expensive than I'm looking for, but are what I have in mind. I've bought some thin leather to sew onto these in a specific pattern that I haven't determined yet, though I have a couple references I might base it off of. I also have some Model Magic (an air drying molding material that has worked fantastically for me in the past) and some closed cell foam left over from a separate costume that I'll use to pad things/ carve details into.
That's all I've got so far! I can't wait until summer when I can really dig into this
