    I always wear it up and I totally agree- it takes our awesomeness to a whole new level!

    Have you done anything to help prevent the hood from folding back from the wind?

    I originally had some magnets sewn into the hood where it rests on my head which attach to magnets in the mask.  However in a few recent parades the hood was still blowing back some, much to my annoyance.  So my mom sewed more magnets into the hood closer to my forehead to keep it on place.  In a recent troop they seemed to work out well. 

    I havnt done anything to prevent the hood from falling but i saw Taras (MynocksDen) placed a small square of velcro on the top of the helmet and inside the hood and guess thats been working for him.  i was going to try that out too :)

    Hope that helps

    Maybe I can be of some assistance. 

    Eelco from 3DPropsNl is pretty good offering quality in detail. Looking over the 3D files , they look pretty good. Only thing I didn’t see are the elbow armor which is required to have so you might be finding yourself making them.  Besides that all looks good

    In finishing the parts, definitely sand down the print lines. Can’t wait to see whIch you go with and progress

    Neck Seal - 

    In progess to mimic the Reference picture as close as possible

    YJ2bs0X.png

    I wanted the seal to be a bit more rigid then the simple cloth from what its made from, so i took reinforced 3mm vinyl and stitched it to the cloth seal

    MgE8dy8.jpg?2

    next I glued on a some layers to build up the seals appearance 

    n4HC6Tq.jpg?1

    Next i sanded the seal to knock down the ridges of the reinforced vinyl. it dulled it down as you can see but it will get color. 

     Here is a Rough look at it with Helmet on:

    Knee Strapping -

    Ive made the knee strapping out of EVA 1/16" foam.  Will see how they hold up

    qcGrfzm.jpg?1

    qKgv5CJ.jpg?1

    h7sOnBz.jpg?1

    What i did here was reinforce the EVA with Mesh fabric glued on using CA Glue. 

    kBV7GAv.jpg?1

    Then i cut another sheet of EVA foam and closed off the back, thus sandwiching the reinforced mesh between the 2 halves

    EMHlHfF.jpg?1

    I then sealed the EVA using Brush On Platic Dip.  3 coats on the front and 2 coats on the back

    2zndVpU.jpg?1

    Set to dry

    7SEENKu.jpg?1

     

    Then using 3/4" velcro, i affixed them to the Shins.  They can be easily removed when needed.

    Gauntlets - 

    So i wanted to mimic the receiver tubs on the top of the gauntlets , but i couldnt find any rectangular tubes at my local hobby shop, so i gave these a try.  At some other point, ill replace these for more correct ones:

    Soft Goods -

    I went on the hunt for the undershirt and shoes,  found these at my local target.  the shirt looks great, but the shoes i realized once looking at the boot armor, that they should be smooth to begin with as need to be painted silver.  So the hunt for shoes continues while the shirt looks perfect.

    Thighs -

    Ive wetsanded the seams here.  you can see the transition between the halfs with the remaining filler

    Mr9qUgp.jpg?1

    Ive also glued on the Greeblies and set those aside to cure.

    6lf8XJS.jpg?1

     

    Next on the list - 

    Check on Mask status from Taras

    Check on Robe status from Sharon

    Shoes - Hunt continues, then paint and glue on armor plates

    Knee Strapping - Make a strap for the backside of these to replicate images

    Thigh -

    With the 2 halves glued and secured using 1.25" wide ABS from the rear, I filled in the seam using Bondo Spot filler.  

    Ill sand this smooth using 1500 grit paper then prep for paint

    S6QvPfd.jpg?1

     

    Shin - 

    With the shins at the second stage of paint,  Still needs 3 more stages, ive cut out the outside facing facets where the straps go.

    Then prepared and cut 1" x 4.5" rubber belt strips to be inserted into these slots. 

    SXG09k9.jpg?1

    Here i inserted the rubber belt strips to gauge the look.   While i like the ribbed side out, believe the straps should be smooth side out. 

    R2Ts45A.jpg?1

     

    Strapping -

    Using 1" wide flexible strapping, ive sewn loops into them and attached quick release adjustable  buckles.

    One end of the straps attaches to the Hex Key Cylindrical screws attached to the armor.  Glued on 2"x 2" Snap Pads were affixed to areas where i didnt use the Hex Key Screws.

    For the Belt, i used the same Rubber Belt cut into 2" wide and riveted a quick release adjustable buckle

    For the Shoulder bell, i used the same 1" flexible strapping used above.
