So much progress in such a short time, I'm jealous!
TBH, I've been working on this for about 2 years but I only recently started this thread to document the last few parts of the build. Also... this is like all I do after work everyday lol
Turned out great!
It’s incredible man!
Thanks! As for the thigh strap thing. What do you suggest? My mobility is pretty good with the hips. The only "problem points" are the knees and elbows only getting around 90° movement. I can manage with that so long as I have someone with me. Constructive criticism is always welcome though!
I brought my straps to a connection point that lands almost exactly at my hips. this allowed my thigh pieces to flex and move as if they were fully mounted to a solid suit underneath. (standard straps over the shoulders going down to a belt. and then a triangle shape from the belt to the thighs leading to a single connecting point.)
Ah I see. My thighs have thick straps on the front that connect to my belt and chest harness. They also have flexible stretchy straps on the back for extra stability. As for the knees, the armor is connected directly to the knee pads. The back of the shins are just too bulky to pull off too much flexibility. Really all that matters to me is that I can sit down or bend enough to tie my shoes lol
I used a padded motocross shirt and shorts with some decent looking knee and elbow pads to fill in the joints. Underneath that I wear some cooling underarmor. Found it all on Amazon. The shirt was the priciest part I think. I can list the links to the ones I used here if you like.
oh sweet! its looks good! yeah if you wouldn't mind putting the links. I think I will do this for my suit
i am just blown away it just goes to show what you can do if you dont rush the job. great job on the armor and the scaling to your body just freaking awesome
Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Sorry for late reply! Here's the list of things I used for the undersuit:
