So it seems my instant notifications aren't working so this was a nice surprise. Thank you all for your kind words but before I get to replying here is a very quick video of the rough hinge system I have come up with. I will be refining it and if I can work out how to explain it will post a thread for hinge set ups with my version and any others that I can find or link in the first post so people can learn from and share the knowledge. I want the thread to be similar/to accompany 7sinzz's.
I know in the video you can see the foamex/sintra but like I said its just a mock up so that should hopefully be brought to a minimum. My final hinges will be made from much thinner aluminium.

I honestly cant remember and the files are on my wife's laptop, somewhere! If you go to Stealths youtube tutorials they are linked on them.
Thank you loads guys I am soooo happy with it. I cant stop looking at it as I never thought I would ever build what was in my head back at the start of all this

Lol cheers bro! I am so chuffed with it! Working on the eyes at the moment but its slow work as in the middle of ripping my kitchen out ready for a house make over
Should have the aluminium hinges in soon too but I want to do some adjustments to the front ones so they are not so visible.

Small update. Got the eyes cut and in place. I made them from opaque acrylic. I cut them out, popped them in the oven and then bent into shape. They are not glued in yet as I need to work out how many and which LEDs I want in them but more than happy with the result

So finally the picture of me wearing every made so far. I know the right shoulder pad isn't in place but I broke the elastic support for it. I want to redo the pads any way as they are missing a bit and its bugging me!
