Hi everyone, I've just started on probably my main project for this year, a Batman Beyond build.
After doing a Pepakura/fiberglass MK-6 Iron Man build last year, I wanted to do a new build, that had a little bit more versatility, mobility/flexibility, and comfort than the Iron Man suit (not to mention something with pockets to hold my wallet, keys, phone, etc. and something that I could custom build to facilitate my glasses so I can actually see; my eyesight isn't that bad actually, but it's just disappointing to not be able to see normally while in the suit)
So I tried to decide on who to be, and after some thinking it was without a doubt, Batman Beyond.
This is a completely original design that I've come up with myself, that incorporates armor plates into the suit, somewhat similar to the Nolan trilogy suit. I've used plastic garbage cans for these armor pieces, like my previous Lich King build earlier this Summer that I've been doing for fun: http://www.therpf.com/f24/wow-lich-king-wip-original-no-pep-sort-budget-build-187095/
So I've made a blueprint and already have the pieces cut out:
(Blueprint/design)
Front Torso (chest/abs)
Top: bicep side plates; under those, the forearm plates; directly under those, thigh side plates; and outside of those, the shin plates
2-layer/part back piece
Belt
I designed the abs to be connected in a way so that they overlap each other and are partly collapsible, allowing for forward/backward torso flexibility. The back piece is two layers because it will house retractable wings (seen in the blueprint)
