First Build; Genderbent Maine from RvB

[Krakatau]

Hello! I am Krakatau, and I introduced myself here a year ago when I thought I was going to do a set of armor for Agent Carolina. That didn't really happen for reasons, partly because I was fooling myself and I only ever wanted Maine's armor.

I've been doing a lot of research lately and I've settled on exactly what I want to do, which is why I'm putting this thread out here (also as a bit of added motivation).

This is what I'm going for;

With this slight twist;

Also, someone suggested I check a local plastics company about a custom visor;

Right now my biggest hurdle will actually be just getting a computer that can support the pepakura and access to a printer, but I already set plans in motion to get that stage done, which should hopefully be started soon.

The endgame goal is RTX2013.

Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the suit. I was wondering are you going foam or glassed armour?
Either way I wish you the best of luck.
Tom.

Not sure what you mean by glassed ... ? Right now I've been thinking either papercrafting, since that's what I'd attempted last year (got the tabs wrong and then moved, then scrapped the project), or foam, since I have a 7' x 3' roll of craft foam from another project that never panned out.
