Just stumbled upon this build. Love seeing vods go all out on metal armour. Hoping one day to be the proud owner f a metal kit too.

Those LEDs turned out fantastic! Would like to incorporate some in my gauntlets too. I'll be watching this kit with interest. Oya vod!

Well the armor is "mostly" shaped and ready to go, the electronics from FETT-TRONICS are installed into the chest plate, and the plates are mounted to the vest! I feel so much better about this whole build and have a new found stride now that i've hit this milestone.

*NOTE*

I am waiting until the next armor party that I can attend before considering the vest as fully complete. It's hard to do spacing on my own, especially since I have never done it. Tell me what yall think!

Ill have some more pics soon. I start my helmet this weekend!


HAPPY HUNTING!

Alrighty then! Hello again!

I finally got my helmet in a couple of weeks ago.... well a month ago, and i finally sanded, painted and have it just about ready for the visor...... whenever that shows up lol Here we go!

First off, i forgot to take a photo of the resin cast before I sanded it. So here are the pics of the helmet after i sanded it and attached the RF.







So i had a little accident when cutting out the rear vents in the helmet. Turns out that the resin is really, really, really fragile.



You know what though? I might be able to fix this..... screw it, im going to make it bigger and recess the fan into the rear of the helmet.



Baboooom! It fits!......... Well that won't due like that...... lets just find a way to cover this up... now comes a little ingenuity







I forgot to take pictures, but the vent/ fan cover was bondo-ed to the helmet and wammmmmo! It held on. After all the bondo dried, i sanded the helmet one more time and covered the helmet in a layer of rub n' buff.





Wow, that metal vent blends in now.



First layer of paint done!



I forgot to take pics again, but here are the pics of the second and third layers of paint.



I need to do some final weathering and painting and attach the visor still. So more pics will be up soon.....hopefully.

HAPPY HUNTING!

Comments Appreciated!

So hey, its been crazy with working and moving. I did however finish my kit. Let me know what yall think. Applying for OM right now. Wish me luck!

Suggestion: I'd weather the vest a bit to dull that color. Otherwise, looking great!!

First off, thanyou for the input! Its been a minute since someone else posted to this for me.

That's the plan. I just haven't had the time to get there yet. I plan on washing it about 40 times in some heavy detergent and doing some "torching" and "ripped" effects to it to fade it out slightly without actually ruining it.

Everything's looking good to me. Only note I have is that the flightsuit looks like it's bunching a bit around the knees.

That has been fixed, my knee cap ended up moving in the pic. I have since added Velcro to the knee cap and flight suit. I am also going to have it better fitted to me. Fits good, just want it a little more fitted.

Thank you for the reply!

 Totally jealous of your fan installation!

Thank you. It is actually really easy to do and install. You don't even need to solder if you don't know how. I saw a video on Youtube where the guy does all his cosplay electronics with hot glue instead.

*Note* If you live anywhere stupid hot during the summer that -censored- can melt on you from the ambient heat, if its the 90+ area, so be aware of that lol

 I have 2 fans in my helm i just like how u have your mounted and the size of the fan!

I appreciate the love. Yeah it was by total accident I did it like that though lol If I had never flinched when cutting the vents in the rear, I'd of never thought about sticking that fan there. I will day though after wearing my kit for an extended amount of time last weekend I need more power or at least I need to create another vent system internally in the helmet to blow the air to the front. Most of the air hits my neck seal and blows back down. Ill post pics whenever I start that project.

 Try to use a peace of sintra tro direct it up?

Im going to make some streamlines ducting inside the helmets to direct the air flow. Ill use a little sintra and som acetate paper i have. little bondo to fill the holes and smooth the edges.

Hey man your kit ended up looking fantastic!
