[Wearenotlinear]

Working on the new chest spider

It'll look better when it's all finished.. update later.

Looking pretty cool, me thinks.

Trying things on... I'm really digging all the silver. Thinking im going to keep some of It throughout

 

[Wearenotlinear]

ordered my blue EL wire today to add some glow to the abdomen area... and 100 rectangle wide-angle LEDs so I can continue my work on the eyes.
yay

Figured I should finish the one thing I have painted red... The left gauntlet. I added the black web lines and the strapping system. It's two pieces, the inner piece has elastic straps then one at the wrist with velcro. The outer has two elastic straps that cross with velcro. And the wrist has magnets in it. That way I can slide the inner on, tighten it around the wrist and put the outer over it and strap it in place at the elbow bend. It's pretty snug. Took me a few different attempts to get it to fit right. After Christmas I will have the red I need to finish everything else... Oooh and the rest of my lights!

Decided my shoulder armor was lacking and not very form fitting... Adding biceps plates and an extension to the top of the shoulder to close the gap between the chest and shoulder

 

[Wearenotlinear]

My EL wire arrived today. Pretty cool.

 

[Wearenotlinear]

Something like this, but you know, better..

 

[Wearenotlinear]

Playing with my EL wire to get an idea of how I want it..


The red paint should arrive next week, then I can paint everything else...

Having issues with cracking in the paint job.. any ideas for a remedy to this? A clear top coat maybe? Clear plasti dip? It's only happening in flex areas...Help would be awesome.

Reworking the shoes so they look slim and not all bulky... Got a pair of keds from the thrift store for 5 bucks, ripped the laces out, cut out the tongue, put in an elastic strap and glued a strip of black leather (possibly pleather) over the tongue area and preparing to paint them... I like them as shoes tho lol. I think the black and white looks neat haha

 

[Wearenotlinear]

El wire is glued in place... Fingers crossed that it stays :/

 

[Wearenotlinear]

3.28 feet of EL wire, with battery pack for only $2.65 on eBay.

Chest and shoe update... Painted the shoes so far.. most of the silver will be covered with the red metalcast. Plasti dip on the toe to limit cracking..


And I added a leather piece to the neckline of the chest and painted the pecks black.. the silver, again, will be covered in red metalcast

 

[Wearenotlinear]

Also, shoulder and bicep closer to done.. the biceps will remain chrome.

 

[Wearenotlinear]

The shin bone's connected to the knee bone.

Man, the more I get done, the more I really like the silver and blue and the silver and red.
Happy new year everyone

 

[Wearenotlinear]

Bottom half thus far... Maybe I should just say this is space armor so I can keep all the silver

 

[Wearenotlinear]

My sister came over and took some better pics of what I've got ao far.


I'm wearing the old bucket since I haven't finished the new one yet.

Black web lines inlaid into mask using a black wash/weathering method.

Since the red metalcast is translucent, as long as its not put on to thick, im hoping the show up beneath the red. We shall see if my paint ever shows up in the mail.
