For the Z-6: what could help in the construction is an old Super Soaker; the XXP 275, I think it was called. Anyway, it was held alot like the Trooper is holding the Z-6
Oh neat! Mine's going to be quite a bit bigger (8 inches across), and I'm in the process of wiring an old RC car motor for the spinning, thanks alot for posting the tutorial too. Always cool to see how other people go about "the making of."
Hydra.
Youre artwork is AMAZING.
If your costume comes out even half as good as the concept sketches your'e gonna have one kick ass piece of costume there.
Progress? Yes and no. Not really anything too interesting anyways, got the sidearms finished and most of the armor templates finished.
Here's a horrible picture, need a better camera (the black shirt doesn't help either.)
Oh and something I've got in the works at the moment... I'll be giving away 6-9 of my custom mando designs in the next couple of weeks (after reading that quite a few people are stuck on design ideas, thought I might be able to help a little). I'll keep you guys posted.
