Re: wetworks

oh yeah, I forgot, should I do what Bradiator's doing and use sportbags for the bodysuit, or should I take mesh, foam, and few irons and melt the foam? or should I do normal pep(found a file in fb), but its gonna be really hard to move in? which one?

Use the 'EDIT' function to add to a previous post if you've forgotten something that you'd meant to add - double-posting really isn't good forum conduct, and I'm going to have to ask you to remember this in the future. There's no need for it.

As for your question: don't try to make a Pepakura-based undersuit. It'll be almost impossible for you to move around in, and it'll be both difficult to create and uncomfortable to wear. I would recommend trying to find somebody that's handy with a needle and some thread, and asking them if they'd help you with a fabric undersuit. RoxyRoo has a very good thread HERE that you could use to get some ideas.

Re: wetworks

I want my undersuit pieces to be detatchable, but also movable, like The BRadinaTor's, but I dont know how to craft the hexes on the body suit; and the edit button, my windows wont cooperate with edit

UPDATE- (got a chrome) I finished my cod piece, now for the other places RE UPDATE (on last material)-

ANOTHER SHORT UPDATE-

I found a sliced dmr, but will sliced work for foam?

Re: wetworks

Hooks are probably your best bet, either mounted to your weapon or to the torso.

Magnets seed to be a rising trend, but I'm a little leery of how well they'd hold a larger weapon. I have rare earth magnets in my leg and foam magnum, amd they hold it ok, but any bump at an angle will knock it free.

Brad occasionally comes onto the forums but he is much more active on Impact Props' social media and his Instagram.

Re: wetworks

Man, your build is coming together, really good. I really like how you are using the Venerator Chest and back piece. I have decided I am going to do Spartan Locke when it's available. this will gimme time to finish my kids helmets. I have found one discrepancy on Spartan Locke in the trailers and some came content pertaining to his helmet. It's the same discrepancy I saw on a build by impact props. I really love those guys work. I just want to know which is correct, know what I mean. See below.....
