My Custom Design

Ok vode!

Painting for the upper body is all done for the front. I've still not decided whether or not to leave the back armor black or add some green there??

Take a look and tell me whatcha think. ;)

I also put in a mirror screen in my chest slots. Matches my visor. ;) There'll be white LED display behind that too.

Woo! Another update!

Got the main front armor all rigged and I'll do the back and collar later on. I love it! Looks much better for real I think than it did in concept!

Also, my knees came!!! Really happy with them though they're a little narrow around the sides when I bend my knees, but it's Ok. I need to paint them now to match my scheme but have to wait for more paint to arrive. :(

Overall, a great day today! :D

Ok guys!

I didn't managed to get quite as much done as I'd hoped but I did manage to complete the rigging for my front and back armor! I was hoping to get my shoulders mounted too but that'll have to be tomorrows job. ;)

Still, I'm happy with what I did get finished today. So much so I had to get changed to see how it all fits!!! :D

The armor fits perfectly! My vest needs tweaking though as the velcro fastening is terrible, and my neckseal is poor(ebay :( ). I sill have some mods to make to my suit though but not too many.

I was hoping for better pics than these but by the time I was ready everyone had gone to bed so I was left to use the timer on the camera. D'oh! Still, check it out vode!

It's getting really exciting now!!
 
Looking good Skip! Though, does your collar plate look a bit high?

It looks like it can be threaded back down though! :)
 
Thanks guys! :D

Saz: Nah mate, it's because my lid is low. I haven't added padding inside it yet. ;) Though you're right, I can adjust the armor at the shoulders and at the sides. Handy seeing how Christmas is coming and we all put a little weight on. LOL!
 
Sounds a lot like me Skip.

Great armor and also thanks for all the help so far on my bucket build so far.

And good luck finishing your armor today!
