I know I disappeared for a long time. This was due to me relocating once again to work in another state, so that this time about 320 kilometers from home. For now I have no news, but I hope you all had a good Christmas and hope the New Year is optimal for y'all. Grateful to all the comments on this incentive my attempt to make "something" happen in this project. Next year from January 5th I'll be resuming work on this project costume fighting and try to bring something new so we can discuss.

I literally see something new on here every day. and it seems like the projects get more and more creative. I would have never thought to use old pots and pans to make armor, but this is outstanding!!! i just wish i could sub more than once for this one.
Grateful to all supporters with the comments. I intend to achieve a good result, I can not do a lot in a short time because I work a lot to support my family. But the progress I do will be posted here for sure. I like doing it because it has some busi comment that helps me in the process, and helps keep me excited in the project.

Sorry for the delay on the posts. Actually i have many turbulences on my job and this not permit give continue in project with frequency.
I started doing the breathing tank (what do connects directly to the helmet). As the protective knee pads had to stop for lack of material logical (aesthetic needs improving, I could not do that yet, so I'm doing another piece to remain focus
I started giving a scrap reviewed in scattered around my house and decided to use aerosol cans
Using the grinder with a wire brush cleaned cans
With clean cans began to assemble the pieces to join them in a set format for the tank
Clamp metal (automotive)
Channel the rear cabinet DESKTOP (cropped here)
With the clamps ready joining 3 cans I formed the base of the tank
Joining the base, brake fluid conduits Bare (automotive)
Sticking and screwing in place
Still missing plug the openings of cans, but I need to find the right piece for that.

What amazing creativity.
Thanks for the post with enthusiasm! It helps keep me excited in the project and the impression I'm on the right track
I was a long standing with the project because I again have moved to another town to work in another office architecture. In this city where I do not have a workbench. Without a bench for heavy work, I can not continue the project, but now things will start to change ...
I'll be able to finish the basics this week. With that I will continue the project and I can post progress almost daily.

So today could conceive averagely my workbench. Now I'll have more space to work again in costume design contest. (march, 04)
With most appropriate lighting can now work better.
So I can continue with the costume ...

Material coming to my stock

Got time to give more power a light advanced in costume design, this time working with the idea of the exoskeleton of the left arm.
Disassembling the connecting rod and grinding a bit in order to fit inside the rotor and make a major joint of the elbow
The rotor is placed on the rod

The mixer oil
Removing the center cap remains an "axis" almost as to fit the rotor
Articulation inside
And the external
This cover alternator will be a carcass that attach to the forearm
Using this reduction washer can hold the tip of the rod on the cover of the alternator
Continuing ...
Adding a stop brake pads, I have the basic set of joint
After some adjustments to movement was effective and without major difficulties
Slowly but surely I'm getting to the parts. If anyone has any trick of developing exoskeleton support please pass me the schematic

I quoted one Anvil network and almost had a heart attack so terrified! The cheapest, suitable to my service was US$ 750.
So I decided to make one by force.
In my house has lost a train track in the backyard ...
So with a grinder and a cut-off (after 2 hours) I decided to take a piece to use anvil.
Continuing ...
This costs less than US$ 3.00 (price cutting disc and electrical energy used): lol:
With this tool my job gets a little easier. Also I continued in the exoskeleton arm.
Used one bar toward a balance of automobile suspension ...
Cutting ...
And using this tool ...
I can make threads on the end of the bar facilitating fixation.
Twisting the bar a bit (to get the proper position of mechanical motion system) ...
And riding on the biceps of what has already been done ...
Adding the "pneumatic arm" ...
The "pneumatic arm" will be fixed on a metal plate attached to a vest chest
This this darn much work and I is not profiting a penny with this. But I will the lucky and someone finds me and calls me to work for WETA right
