    Soft Parts Hex pattern fabric

    The one I use is a very thin fabric. So heat can escape very well. Although the fabric itself has no real "thickness" therefore I used it to cover foam parts with it, which are again unbearable hot. But as you know our armors as hot as two rats in a wool sock. I recommend installing some kind...

    Soft Parts MarkVII undersuit attempt (WIP with pictures)

    Half way through. One leg done. Not as detailed as I hoped, but i made sacrifices to enable mobility.

    Soft Parts Hex pattern fabric

    Since a lot of you guys sent me messages where to find the fabric I used for my undersuit I went on a search and found the original producer. The pattern itself has the following name: "Windham fabrics presents Bon Appetit by WHistler Studios Pattern No.#35438" And here is a link to the...

    First Halo build: Pepakura and expanding foam

    Nice work. Looks clean prepped. A note for the expanding foam. I dont know what u will use, but if it is something similar to the "foam IT" series by kaupo, watch out for the expansion of the foam itself. I used it for a closed prep and it pressed the edges and large surfaces outward. You may...

    SOON... Only 6 more piec es to finish the foam part of the undersuit. YEAHAA After 4 years.... For demonstration purposes I attached a picture of the inside. If anyone is masuchistic enough to consider this type of undersuit prepare yourself for serious fingerpain and countless hours of lonely...

    Soft Parts MarkVII undersuit attempt (WIP with pictures)

    Progress again. Tried the 0.8mm Kraftplex material.... Works. not perfekt but reasonable. mainly because its 0.8mm which is creating gaps between the edges. But its crazy rigid after glueing together. I definetly need a new glue (something very fluid and very fast curing) which is not crazy...

    Soft Parts MarkVII undersuit attempt (WIP with pictures)

    The foam is very siilar to cantact cement. Expect its verly liquid first and then "foams up" which should work very well with the kraftplex. If that doesn't work ill try the contact cement. Costs: hmm... The materials for the undersuit alone about 250€ The materials für the cooling system...

    Soft Parts Under Suits?

    It all comes down o how much detail you want. I've seen a few people who got spandex? painted undersuits which look relly nice if you have the body for it. The rest wears black/paintball/bike garments and some a little masochistic people make their own undersuit. I personally am over 1000 hours...

    Soft Parts MarkVII undersuit attempt (WIP with pictures)

    ok first experiments with the kraftplex done. Works like charm and it can be glued (with a liquid glue). 1. Soak it in water 2. Bend it to desired shape 3. Let it dry (5-10 min) 4.Glue it together. Only letdown. I used 1.5mm material which is way too thick for the smal "flaps" to be bend in a...

    Soft Parts MarkVII undersuit attempt (WIP with pictures)

    Tonight I try the first batch of the chest with the Kraftplex material. Tried to bend it today... Hard like sheet metal, but if it soaks water it gets soft like butter till it is dry again. Seems like heaven to me. Only downside: It needs to be cut with a lasercutter. Pepakura and dxf are not...

    Soft Parts MarkVII undersuit attempt (WIP with pictures)

    I have two versions of the backside attachements. One for Cooling only and one for the CO2 jets. I checked with all the cons I want to attend. A few of them dont allow anything (including 3d printed weapon props) but the others told me its ok. They only prohibit "pyro-propellants or effects"...

    3% did the trick. Fits nicely now. Tomorrow I get the new CO2 Canisters and nozzles for the jet engines. :whistle:Im so excited....:whistle: Co2 fog engines with about 5W of red lights to colour the "exhaust gas"

    ok here is the next scaling attempt. looks promising to me what do you think guys? I thought i just shrink/cut the part under the arms when i have the raw outlines pepped. Its 1,188 times the scale of the pep file. Does it look good?

    Thank you. At the moment the most I need is your opinion if the 3D screenshots look fitting to you or your recommendations on how I should alter the scaling. (f.e. if I should make it a little wider, taller,....)
