Well I can't seem to post pics from my phone but it looks pretty good...

Hey peeps. Been around here for a pretty good while now. got a couple of build ups posted. Now I've recently formed a band and we are trying to drum up support. doesnt take much, just some facebook likes. you can always ignore all our posts after but who knows. might be something you like...

Thanks guys. Also, forgot to mention, the backpack on the suit is actually the cardboard shock case to my digital camera. Y'know, the thing the camera goes in, has the cords separated and bagged up and then they slide it in the box...took a bit of sanding since its like the outside of a mold...

LOL!!! yea, the cutouts are deep in the chest so I can have full movement of my arms. That undersuit isnt what Im going to use, it's a cheap 5 dollar painters one piece and very thin material. I have a real flightsuit Im gonna wear under it. What I planned was making a couple of small...

I'm back. Took a detour to make my camera equipment....made a crane/jib, a steady cam, and a shoulder mount....once that was done got back to the costume but didnt like the fit or look of the cuirass , so I redesigned one that fit snug and allowed for more movement....in the stomach area and...

Started on a rifle today to take a break from the suit. This is just the basic design. lots of angles to be dremmeled down to make it look less square. Cut a handle off a spray bottle for the grip and trigger. Used a cardboard tube for the stock/frame/barrel shroud. Vacuum attachment for...

I cut up an old flashlight radio with my dremel. Got lots of cool pieces from it to add to the helmet.

Guess I'll bump this thread.

Thanks Bothan. The costumers here are tops, so getting respect from them is like, gold...or something.... I'm making templates of this as I go. For the basic suit anyways. I plan on making a few more so me and my buds can make some homemade sci fi short films for fun. Do some green...

Ok, got a little update. Finished my lower leg/shin armor and boots. Also finished my helmet. Besides sanding of course. Will prob get to that next week.

my old xbox 360 had decided to destroy itself a while ago. Still had it around for some reason, so I cut off some parts of it with my Dremell tool to add to the helmet. The three round cartridge things near the ear area are from a Nerf toy gun shotgun. i guess the shells eject out of the toy...

Greebles, clips, straps, hoses etc. Now its time to start on the helmet. So I went to our local gun show and got an awesome military grade gas mask for $20 and a couple of really cheap toy plastic army helmets. I cut 1/3 off each helmet and then spliced them together. I changed...

THE GAUNTLETS took a bit but by adding enough shapes to them, I am pretty happy with the gauntlets. left gauntlet I made the blades from 2 plastic pie serving things that I cut with my dremel tool. The finished left gauntlet. Right Gauntlet The green glowing fluid things are levelers...

Made the chest armor. has clips to connect the back which are hidden by armor plates on top. I am not doing any sanding on any of the armor until I have it all made. Then I will go back with my Dremell and sand all the rough edges and glue seams smooth so it doesnt look cheap or unfinished...

Ok. Now that I have a proportionate mannequin, measuring out the pieces etc will be much easier. Now comes the fun part of coming up with the actual design of the costume. I spent a few days just doing rough sketches of stuff until I got a basic idea of what I was shooting for. Of course...
