After reading the cr*p you had to put up with over at Cosplay.com, I really want this project to become a reality. I can't believe some of the comments over there!
The post that really pissed me off was the one telling you there was no need for the "ridiculous stuff you want". I mean, what? Aren't we allowed to dream anymore, and pursue those dreams, just because a bunch of people think your goals are "ridiculous"? I still can't get over that.
All the best with this! And I can understand where you are coming from too. I used aluminium plate for my last two costumes, where I could have quite easily used foam or card. But I want these things to last. Plus, I kind of like the fact that something which is supposed to be metal, actually is. Unfortunately I have yet to experiment with fibreglass, kevlar or carbon fibre, so I can't offer you any advice other than to persevere with your dream!
So bash on! I'll be watching.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm on my behalf. The people of this forum can both dream big and build big. And the amount of support is overwhelming and encouraging. I can't guarantee that the suit is going to look 100% like Gordon's (mainly because I'm new at this) but I'm going to put my all into it. And who knows, if the model looks good enough I might make a mold of it and cast it in aluminum.
