I will backlight some opague plastic. It will diffuse the light and give it a glow rather than a light look. Just ordered 50 blue leds off of ebay.
That guy is so creepy
I put a piece of flashing(thin aluminum) an each side of the hinges piece with a hole drilled in them. Then I made a small tube to go into the hole to prevent it from tearing. Then I just used a piece of 16g wire as a hinge pin.
I have a mold, so casts are possible. Pm if you're actually interested
Ok now on to some photos. I have been cat sitting for my sister and brother in-law while they're out of town. So I havn't been able to do any serious work(don't wanna mess up their house and what not). But I did get some inside work done.
Here is the belt. For some reason(the sun was in my eyes) I put the hip and thigh pads on upside down. The top is on the bottom of the belt and the bottom is on the top. Silly me. I will just rip them off and re-glue them. Also I will make the belt a bit larger to fit me a bit better. Other than that, I am happy with how the belt, thighs, wrench, pouches are turning out.
Btw after I get Baird and Jorge done. I will be starting a super secret custom foam suit.
Also, I'm sure only about %1.2 wil know who this is. But for those of you who will, enjoy. Ello.

How did I miss this epic update? I seriously cant wait to see more, man.
@Propcustomz
Gotta say man, epic work, I only have one concern though... no offense but you are a tiny little thing compared to the gigantic foodball-elite sized cog soldiers in game, so it looks a little odd right now - are you planning to fill in some of that with padding/smooth parts or just as/is
Either way its gonna be amazing work - people will just have to adjust their eyes to realize Game People /=/ Real People in proportion. Games get to cheat with physics too, parts moving through other parts or stretching as the model moves - while real life we can't do that sorta thing, "metal" won't stretch and rebound like rubber just because we breathe.

This is sick work man! Layering looks great. I was blown away buy just the boots, then I started looking at all the other pictures of your progress. Unbelievable, great detail!

Thank you guys. I will have some pics up for you tomorrow. I promise.
No offense taken. I'm 6' tall 170lbs of solid steel...Ok, so I'm not anywhere near their size. I will have the spaces filled with padding and my pants will be a bit loose. It should look right when it's ready. I was thinking about making some "muscle" arms for the suit. What do you guys think about that?

that's an amazing job man, you've inspired me to try messing with the foam as well. I hope it turns out half as well as yours.
