It's looking awesome! Everything is coming together most excellently. Love the ribbing on the suit.
 
O.O

Thats about all I can come up with sooo... yeah... AWESOMESAUCE!!!!

(Also, I stole copies your shoe pics so I can use them for my own feet... When I make mine and post them, I WILL be crediting you. Just letting you know. :) )
 
@ Everyone.
It's so cool to hear my stuff has inspired others to continue/start working on their own foam armor. I may not comment, but I stalk a lot of people's threads here. It's really cool to see what everyone's working on.

Was excited that an update was here but little I'd I realise it would be this good. I had a sneaky suspicion you were making some under suit from the delay. Outstanding work as always Roxy!! :)

Actually, i got sick for five days last week. =_= When I got better, i spent two days sewing. woo. XD


This is insane!!! You and LilTyrant are setting the bar for under suits. I love it!!!

I know right? LilTyrant is a bamf. I'm addicted to her thread like chocolate. I just wanna nom it. XD
As usual, amazing work!

i've been so behind on my armor, you're really inspiring me to step up my game :)

Woo! Yeah, come'on girl. Join us girls building armorz! 8D I've been wondering where you disappeared to!

You really have to build a foam helmet now, so that we can all declare yours to be the best all foam build instead of Drack's ;)

Seriously, this is amazing and very inspiring, giving a lot of us both motivation and confidence to work on our own armor.
If there's anything I'd comment on, it's the size of the forearm and upper arm pieces - they could be about 10-20% bigger to bulk your arms up a little and balance out the mass of the thigh and chest armor. But it's nothing serious and I'm sure you'll still look pretty good when you suit up :)

^_^;; I'm too far in to go backwards... but i do intend on building a foam helmet. I've decided on GUNGNIR. I've had it on my multiplayer character for so long, it looks weird to have anything else. Despite the vision problem, I'll just have to deal with it.


If we're at it, where can one get 4mm thick foamies? In Europe?
Unfortunately a lot of dealers on Ebay don't ship here, or the costs are more than the item itself ;)

As I've never been to Europe, i'm not sure. Try asking drack. He lives in Britain I think. >.>


Now I have to ask for help again. The shin pieces are a disaster. I don't think I can do them without pep files. Kyre, do you think you can make a PDF of the shin for me? O____O Pleeeeeaaase?

Until then, i'll be making my knee caps tomorrow. >.>

Sorry to hear that sweetie glad you are all better. I am impressed you are going for Gungnir that's gunna be a challenge getting it so you can see out but I am sure you already have a plan forming in your head.

The blue air assault does seem to make everyone think I'm a girl :p

Don't worry, you're not the first to make that mistake. It's happened at every con I've been to so far...
 
omg.. I feel like a derp now. =__=;;; Sorry...



Moving on.. I'll be painting my armor today, guys. This may be my last opportunity before it hits over 100 degrees again next week. Wish me luck.

woo gl! I WISH it was that hot out over here in vermont! 30% chance of snow tomorrow? No thanks.

Can't wait to see the painting progress! It will be awesome. Are you using plastidip and then acrylic?
 
O_O 30% chance of snow?? Oh planet earth.. you are bizarre.

I'm plasti-dipping everything, but I only got a few pieces done before the sun went down (I had work earlier...). Each piece had about 3 layers of plasti-dip. I'll be doing more painting tomorrow. Hopefully the nice weather will hold out a bit longer. But here's a preview of the plasti dipped pieces. The color painting comes after.

I spent the rest of the evening making final adjustments/edits, etc to the other armor pieces. They're ready to go for tomorrow morning.
 
Why is it that only our female members seem to be making the in depth under-suit WIP's??? (Not that I'm complaining, I'ts some of THE best work I've seen on here.) But trying to perfectly apply you're methods to a guy's body shape/style/(lack of feminine ingenuity?) is difficult and confusing (for me at least. Trying to follow you're example with your boots has been... harder than I anticipated for example. lol)

Long-winded semi-rant aside, I still think your work is absolutely amazing and inspirational to what could potentially be THE standard for our under-suits. :)
 
Looking good so far. Was wondering did you have a try of the acrylic sealer?
 
You're build/take on the under-suit has impressed me so much that I'm doing one. With any luck I'll be right behind you on this foam under-suite. Thank you so much for posting you're awesome foam build.:D
