So how did everyone attach the arm parts to the shoulders of the torso pieces? I had been using super magnets on each piece but it appears the arm parts are too heavy now that I've got the spaulders the correct size. the magnets made it where I could get in and out of the entire costume by...

Right, PETG .06 in I think, Heatgun, 6 hands, and cut stress relief at arm holes and neck. See Ein's build thread pics on the process he just about has it to a science. I followed his example for the torso.

I realize this is an older thread but before anyone else goes to the trouble, here's speech re-enforcement through two soup cans, placed in the side of what will be the form which I'm building a breather bag. I don't have the vocal chops of my 6'7 brother who can pretty much do the voice all...

Re: Immortan Joe Progress Log - Pretty much done! 3d Models and WIP photos. Yeah after hours of starring at photos of his face the black sorta absorbs the eyebrows as you move outward anyway. I'd skip the fake ones. I'm using a smashbox primer, NYX black eyeliner pen, NYX reddish eyeshadow...

Re: Immortan Joe Progress Log - Pretty much done! 3d Models and WIP photos. Ein, What makeup are you using? My eyes are all stuff I dropped a pretty penny at Ulta for, but I have not found a white that I'm happy with the evenness and longevity.

I am taking Joe to DCon, with a couple other less complicated alternates. I *think* i just finished up everything I wanted to improve from last halloween. Still haven't made the breathing apperatus, but I think i'm outta time. This was a Honda Goldwing piston 78mm iirc, my buddy split it for...

First off my solution was not S/A, I used 4 chicago screws to fasten a rectangle of black yoga mat to the front and back shoulders positions. then punched holes and laced the sides with shoe string that allows me enough slack to clamshell into the breastplate, then i snake on the arm pieces...

So finally back to tweaking last year's IJ build. I ordered the chest decor from shapeways painted it and pulled my hand carved "approximates" off. Just pulled a new paldron because they were IMO the biggest eyesore of my build. I built a vacuum form box using; a cardboard box my network rack...

Thanks to all ahead of me that put so much info up on here about the process. I plan on adding any unique methodology I did not already read once I get some downtime. Pics when I get back home.

Hey that will just about get you out of the red for this build, yeah? Good luck!

Last minute bellow... balloons:

I'm still waiting on my last bit of leather for the shin guards.. but for the chain on the boot toe I put down a thick bead of hot glue ( with my wife's industrial hair dryer on it to slow cooling), quickly pressed in the chain along the toe, then went in every other space with a shot of glue to...

I looked through all the ribbon toppers again but now can't find it. what's the estimated dimension on the air filters, advanced auto has some here on the rack that look close but can't find them online to link.

Can't seem to remember my damn password, was trying to get this out all prior to DragonCon but Eagle insignia here: http://www.vanguardmil.com/products/usn-regulation-size-officer-cap-device Don't order the black metal version it doesn't say it but it is a miniature. Price maybe should have...

Long time lurker, I've been following along your builds, these look sick. Was late getting to see the movie so didn't know till two weeks ago I wanted to do a Joe for Halloween. I tried my hand at forming PETG over the roman chest plate tonight, not so good. I got cockeyed and my abs are on a...
