So I've been gathering materials to make my suit. I was thinking of making resin + body filler armor to get the clean lines that I can't get from foam. It looks like 3d mesh is pretty darn expensive, not prohibitively, but it may be a detail that I am willing to let slide (how many non hardcore fan would even notice if I didn't use a chainlink looking mesh?)
Now my question, and I hope that you guys can help me here. What do you recommend I do to attach the armor to the suit. Since the armor plates may be on the heavy side due to the resin and body filler I am worried that it will hang. This tells me that the undersuit needs to be
1. Non stretchy
2. Probably thick
So I am thinking a 2mm wet suit would be appropriate but I can imagine that I'd sweat like a pig in it and possibly die of a heat stroke. Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks!
