Exactly this.
If I'm thinking what you're thinking, then yes, it's certainly a good idea.
As for those loose shoulder pads - why not secure them down with a small bit of elastic around the bicep? That should allow them range of movement without being too constricting or locked in place.
If I can find small cans, I will look at embedding them in the Rogue's chest piece, connect with a "T" adapter, and then the tubing will run under my compression suit.
How are you attaching these to your undersuit base? Or are they free-floating and kept on purely by pressure alone?
If it's the latter, I'm concerned that your shin and thigh armour may tip the balance and pull your foam parts down somewhat, but I'm sure you've accounted for this, you genius
WOW! What an amazing job! Your pep work was INCREDIBLE. And your foam is just as impressive. I really hope to be at this level of building someday! Thanks for the pics!
I love and hate how gifted you are at this.
Thank you! I did a bit of backtracking and found that yesterday marked the two week mark for the undersuit, and over all I started my very first project on October 12th of 2013 (Iron Man Mk VII helmet with foam). I must admit thought, even though it has not been too long since that first project, I have an unfair advantage. Time and money. I spend approximately 6 hours minimum, and upwards to 18 hours just about EVERY day working on these. Since I have started, I can think of only a handful of days that I did not work on my projects, and that was because I was usually shopping for supplies. This brings me to the money side. I don't have a lot of it, but I budget what I can for it. Up until the beginning of October, I was a pretty serious alcoholic. I drank on average 18 16oz cans of beer a day. I quit cold turkey Oct. 1st. With that, I now had all that money I allotted for alcohol that I could use... plus I needed a hobby to keep my mind busy... so here I am! Long story short(ened), I believe anyone can do this, it is just about dedication, and learning new techniques. Listen to advice, ask questions (and LISTEN), and be flexible. Sometimes I see that the biggest downfall of most is the bullheadedness of "this is the way I learned to do it, so it is the only way". Trust me, I am that way to a certain degree too. But after I saw some of the awesome work here, stuff I thought I could never do myself, I had to ask myself how was it they could do it as I spin in circles trying to do the same thing just to end up with 1/2 the quality of theirs at best? It was because, even though they described their technique, I thought mine was better. I forced myself to learn differently. Anyways... my ramble has gone on WAY too long... keep charging and I hope to see you making wicked armor as well soon!
This is AWESOME! Save some of that snow for the warm months. Maybe you can create a body cooling system using hoses in your undersuit.
