Popping in again, awesome work on this build! It keeps getting better and better. When you get to casting a helm, even raw casts straight from the mold into the box, let me know. I've got my Paypal ready!

This is amazing, great job. Is the microswitch for when you put the helmet on, or is it set up to be turned off and on with your tongue. Or is that idea just gross?

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
I need to figure out how stealth manages to put a big picture as the link for his videos.
I used a picaxe board (similar to arduino but less powerful and easier to program.
As for the microswitch, ibhave two currently... One for the light and one for the helmet opening. The one for the light is in the chin area and I press it by making a chin movement, so no saliva involved... As for the other one, I still haven't decided where to place it. I was thinking og pitting it near the top so that it presses when I opened the forehead section, but I think that takes away from the whole automation aspect. So o think I'll hide it around the chest or hip.

As all have already said, fantastic work man. Sculpting my own Kai version Fox helmet currently and hope to motorize. Your example is great inspiration. My bad if I missed it, but did you mention what model your micro servos were? I know you said Spektrum, but there are many versions and you seem to have chosen the right ones for the gig. Also, if you could possibly link to the board you used, it would be tremendously helpful. Again, great work. You should be very proud.

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
This costume is really awesome. I really like how you made the helmet work. I'm jealous that I'm not technically literate enough to make this.
I hope you manage to motorize the top part of your helmet. That would really finish it. I''m not very familiar with the Metal Gear Solid universe, but I still like the suit.

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
Looking forward to your Kai build... have you seen STEALTH's?
As for the hardware:
Servo: Spektrum S75 (they came with a spektrum remote I bought back in the day, they're really nothing special, except for the size)
Control board: Picaxe 28 pin prototyping board
Chip: 28X1 (discontinued, and replaced by the 28X2)

Your thread inspired me to attempt to make the V2, straight up, using the methods you used. However, I realized I had no experience in 3D modeling or autocad, so I went about doing what I do best. Scouring the internet for resources. Turns out someone ripped the models straight from the game, and in turn I separated the helmet from the model, and attempted to pepakura it.
The results were not something I'd consider easy or maybe even humanly possible due to all the small creases. (Then again it was my first time using the software, so that was probably the bigger issue.)
Let me know if you do end up making that pepakura for the V2 helm. I'm definitely interested.

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
Oh snap!
That's awesome! I'll give it a try next weekend.
Dude... you're so close! all you have to do now is re-stitch the polygons in a way that makes sense for construction purposes.
This is what the back side of mine looked like after I unfolded it... and it probably had 10 times more polys

By re-stitch, do you mean in Autocad, or in Pepakura?

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
That is just a matter of the model not being "designed" for pepakura. If you have some time you can modify the model to remove the tiny faces like that. Depending on the program you use (Blender is my weapon of choice) there are some automatic tools that dissolve faces into less complex shapes, but if you're not careful you can totally wreck the geometry.

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
I'm talking pepakura. You can separate edges and join edges (basically telling the program what you want to make into a fold and what needs to be a cut)
This tutorial helps

It's not really a matter of having tiny polygons, it's more that you want to make it so that you get flat continuous pieces for the most part.
Watch the tutorial, it'll really help

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
I don't see a problem with that area. It looks like the model just needs to be properly unfolded but that area looks fine. You would have to score the cardstock to get that sharp angle bend you see in the 3D model. That area could be separated to make the assembly easier.
I will take a look at the model you linked and see what I think.

Re: Diegator's Grey Fox / Cyborg Ninja WIP
Perhaps... I have wanted to do this costume too as I have mentioned before.
Are you going to do a full unfold on the whole suit? Before you know it we'll have a foam mod from jfcustom as well
