Thanks SovereignOne. You have been added.

GIjoeFan197 - I can see what you are talking about. I didn't notice that before. I am still making slight changes to the helmet to make it more accurate. I will be definitely making the jaw area a little longer. Thanks

You bet thanks to you for kindnesses, and bear of luck to all!

very excited about this build !!!! looking great

 

[SovereignOne]

I'd be in for one, I have the UDR coat, may as well complete the outfit.

What size will if fit? Would like it for show anyway, but one that fit would be good.

I want that coat, but can't find it anywhere .. and the ones that have the UDR coat want an ungodly amount for it lol

 

[BlackKaos]

Thanks SovereignOne!

Yeah, Im looking for a decent replica of the coat also. The UDR coat is amazing but I can't afford that either. I'm waiting a few responses back from tailor companies and will let you know if I find one that is decently priced and is fairly accurate.

 

[SovereignOne]

I've found some companies that sell "replicas" the only thing is that their "replicas" aren't near the production used jacket. Mostly the molded should and forearm guards are completely way off ... just can't justify spending $300-400 on not even a close one. The companies will not show their product either, only screen shots of the movie lol .. which I find annoying as a consumer, let me see your product if i'm going to buy it.

 

[BlackKaos]

yes, that is EXACTLY what I have been dealing with and noticing. I sent a message to one company to send me pictures of their coat because they only have screen shots of the movie. Then others post the UDR coat with their logo across the picture.

Yeah, the UD coat is very nice but certainly pricey. I actually tried to get them to sell me another set of bracers for it so I could mod a tablet or cell phone into one of them just for fun, but they wouldn't. lol

I was bummed that they didn't come out with the helmet they promised. I suppose sales weren't high on the coat maybe?

Looking good. For the kits how will you handle the face shield?

 

[BlackKaos]

The kits will be the kits only with no face shield. I am working on a way to make the face shield and once I post pics of the process and what my solution to the face is then I will make that an added feature for an additional price.

Hey hey .. if you can't get the 10 peeps are you going to scrap the run ?

 

[BlackKaos]

I would have liked to get 10 but I think I will be good with the number I have now.

sweeeeet !!!!!

I have ordered some PETG clear plastic. I'm going to try heat forming the shield then either spraying it with silver window spray paint (Krylon mirror-like paint) or lining the shield with silver window tint. I will post pics of which one I do or both.
