Are those water bottles on the pack?

One is. The other is a steel canister. Keep in mind not all detail work has been finished.

Not complaining, was just curious. Good idea for shapes, everything is looking awesome.

Thanks, vod. Still have some detail and minor construction to do, glasswork, paint and lastly the LEDs

[Oren-Cathal]

Well you are making it look easy to the rest of us... And by us, I mean me.

Thanks again, vod! It's only after a couple of decades that making it look easy comes easier...

So I saw the plan for this, then saw the hbf to mod for the helmet.. and was like "hbf mod for an ec? Rookie mistake.. too much work!!" Then you went and blew my mind with it. Nice. I'm digging this set up.

Thank you! I tend to take challenges and make them my -censored-

Thought I would update before getting into the beer, lol

Helmet is rough sanded and awaiting resin jelly coat
perty, aint it?






Veermok has been final sanded and attached to the base for sturdiness, awaiting fine sanding and primer filler coat.







Shriekhawk final glassing for sturdiness. Awaits rough sand & resin jelly coat.





Rebreather pack glassed and resin coated for sturdiness and form. Next comes rough sand and more form work.





tomorrow is more sanding, resin jelly coat on helmet and shin/knee wire form work.

Cheers!

Nice work, man. That's looking real good and coming together nicely. Now get off the boards and back into the workshop! Or bed, I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life.

It's beer o'clock right now. Then shower then bed!

Broken horn?  I can dig it. 

Looks good, vod!

I wanted more of a natural, asymmetrical look, as compared to being perfectly stored...a little battle worn, as it were...

A good call.  If I ever decide to give Cin some wear and tear, I'll probably do something similar.

[AGConstrux]

OK...long awaited update...lots of stuff done, just haven't had the chance to post up...

Helmet resin jellied


Shriekhawk resin jellied


and sanded and set up for mockup (note the no-neck space)


Started formwork and glassing on lower canister of rebreather


Then the helmet oxygen hose was installed


And the shknee guards were shaped, drilled for mounting to boots and knees secured to shinguards with metal plating



Tomorrow's forecast calls for shknee guard wireform and initial glassing, beginning gauntlet construction, cleaning of the upper armor for fitting to set up for chestplate alignment & design, as well as chest plate design and initial wireform (possible glassing)

SO MUCH YES! Talyc Rancor approves! 8) 8)

thank you both. And now for our evening update:

Mounted the shknees to the boots. Used 10/32 nuts and bolts with large washers for support, and then cut and covered the nuts with epoxy to secure in case of possible unscrewing via walking/what-have-you



finished up the design aspect for the main body of the rebreather. Also mounted the on/off button for 1 of 2 LED wires. (heres a test run before painting.



and sketched out one side of the Taozin scales chest piece. Will cut this out and flip over to do the other side, cut out individual scales (3 per side) and begin wireform and glassing. Since these will be fused with leather strapping as the middle broken section, it may take a while. Still have to pick up the leather. But, on a bright note, the scales are more or less flat, so not a lot of unneccessary detail work to be done for these...



Oh, and I finished my HIC iPhone hardshell panel. If you want one, PM me.  Theyre $10 plus $6 priority ship (<--insert shameless plug here)

[Oren-Cathal]

This has to be the thread I most look forward to seeing updates on, the work just kills me. Keep it up vod, insane... Just insane.
