Thomas, your work is a great inspiration. Had it not been for your process descriptions and progress photos for Dirge and Krieg, I would not have taken on my first armor project.
I had a wonderful tyme at Motor City Comic Con 2009 this weekend. It may take me a while to post, but I have started work on my convention coverage gallery for the event.
I worked to revise and maintain all three of the costumes that I brought to the show. Above all, the labour on my DURGE suit was the most intensive. I did win their costume contest, but the real pay-off, persay, was the response I received from my fellow Legion members, artists, and general convention attendees.
On the convention floor, Rebel Legion member Alex Ford had set up a nice back drop for costume portraits. Alex then generously burnt CD's for everyone he took photographs of. Thanks Alex.
He is pretty tall in that costume. He's fairly tall in real life, then puts platform boots on to wear with that costume to get a few more inches. So, what is the suited up height, Thomas?
Really inspirational work of an EU character that isn't discussed much. I would enjoy seeing Durge in the CGI series.
What other upgrades, if any, do you plan for the suit? Perhaps detail the underarmor (near the armpit gap where it is most exposed)? I'd be excited to see what other sheer awesomeness you can accomplish with this!
I received these from Dragon*Con by the very friendly and professional Bryan Humphrey a couple of weeks ago. This was my first opportunity to post the images;

I sleep soon, but tomorrow it is back to work. But it is never really work when the subject is one you are passionate for.
