Had to take time off for a bit, birthdays, robot combat fighting, Ren fest. I put 2 days in this weekend, about 16 hours in the metal shop and time here and there for the soft parts. Here's a lot of pics!
This is where I left off with the helmet. I am going for a diamond design across multiple pieces so I left a little point in the T cut out.
I wanted to add a detail to the top of the helmet that flows with the Lekku. This is still not finished but I'm going to make the rear curve more fluid into the top piece. I wanted to keep the rear Lekku visor design sporty, I've found the bigger ones remind me of Predator. Plus, I'm petite and I don't want to look like a bobble head.
I cut out the back and put hinges on it. Working on a closure method, probably getting a quarter turn latch. I wanted to keep the back of the helmet instead of keeping it open.
I started on the base for my gauntlets too. Got one finished this weekend. I used heavy duty slide hinges on the inside of the arm and piano hinges for the outside seam. This way I shouldn't have to slide pins on both the inside and outside of the gauntlet, might be easier.
Finally got the breast pieces settled. Went through a similar procedure as the last post but started with larger pieces and cut down to size after shaping the breast curves. I know the spacing is wrong on the abs, I was struggling with that one staying put with tape all day.
As always, input is welcomed. This is my first build so experience from others is great help. I've already made mistakes and am learning and adapting.
