Lizean Akai - Custom Fem'mando (Concept Pics)

[Hydra]

Thanks guys, but I've found no problem with the thigh and shin armor fitting correctly so far.

My chest making process shall remain a mystery, well for now.

 

[Hydra]

Got the helmet sanded and primed, ready to start painting!

Liz, have considered taking a green scotch-brite pad to that armor? it'll kill the glossyness without messing up the paint.

You can also use some black artists chalk dust with a nice soft bristle brush to dull it while adding carbon streaks at the same time. Gives it a nice dirty look without having to worry about using a wash. Just spray a light coating of craft sealer over it and your good to go. =)

I put together a funky little video showing off my current progress in my armor and helmet a little bit more.
Forgive my dorkyness!

 

[Kyr am Galaar]

Very awesome, I always like seeing that weathering technique!
So when are you going to start attaching the pieces to vest and flight suit.

Nice looking helmet. I especially like the reinforcement wire at the bottom of the helmet. :cheers

What is it made of and is it's only purpose to support the bottom of the helmet or were you going to attach a microphone to it?

Sweet dog, too. Nice view of the mountains from your backyard. 8)

It's just a standard metal craft ring snipped and installed with hot glue and epoxy, I think I might do a voice amp, but it's still a "lets see".

Working on attaching stuff to the gloves right now! I have my flight suit tailored and still waiting on the material for the vest to come in, so I'm getting there!

Miss Hydra a long time since you've posted last?

 

[LostSonOfSparda]

Yeah, she's been quiet lately. Either she's keeping the final stuff under wraps, or no progress.

Show us more pics!!!

 

[NovallTalon]

She's been working alot at a new job I believe. I'm sure she'll update when she can. =)

 

[LostSonOfSparda]

Good, good. Job= easier financing for costuming. But less time. I'm sure she'll update when she has something significant to share.

 

[Hydra]

New job + having to sew + difficulties with the t-visor has got me kinda drained (mentally) on this project. :c
I have the gloves nearly done though, so perhaps I'll have an update today/tomorrow.

 

[goldenrod]

Whats the prob with your T-visor maybe we can help
