fallout 3 metal power armor build

[kingpookey]

hay guys jessi hear from Gold Point Props, started working on making my metal power armor a couple of weeks ago. I'm using a combination of 20 gage an 18 gage sheet metal to make the armor. most of the armor will be made out of 20 gage sheet metal to cut down on weight. the helmet is pretty much dun, it is made out of 20 gage and it weighs 5 1/2 pounds so I estimate the full suit of armor will weigh about 50 too 60 pounds. here are some pics of the helmet
just need to order some gas mask hoses to finish it off.

looks cool, and its sheet metal so extra cool :cool look forward to the rest of the suit

 

[Uridium]

That is amazing. Great work!

 

[Grimwood]

I admire your dedication! That's a lot of weight to carry around but I think if you come up with some sort good harness system, that 50-60 lbs will feel like 55lbs.

Seriously cool tho.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

That's pretty cool! If you can figure out how to minimize the weight, the only other problem would be not cooking inside of it!

 

[kingpookey]

it shouldn't be that warm because i'm going to be wearing a Cooling Shirt and cap on under the armor that will be circulating cold water through toobs in the shirt and cap to keep me cool. the weight is my main concern. but I knew from the beginning it was going to be a bit on the heavy side, its a metal suit of power armor after all....lol

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Hey just build that power armor support thing they had them hanging on in Operation Anchorage. Then have someone roll you around. :lol

This is the coolest and most impractical thing I have seen all day. I love it, and I want one.

[kingpookey]

More progress done on the power armor, tack welded on the sides and added a lip on the bottom edge.

This is nuts. My brain is saying "Nope. Impossible." and yet I'm seeing pictures of it being built right before my eyes. Kudos.

Very impressive work.

 

[CLOTHAR]

This is glorious! Is this your first time doing metal armour?

 

[kingpookey]

yes this is my first time making a full suit of armor but i have made armor pieces and helmets in the past.

 

[Seeker9817]

Gnarly! this is an awesome build, been waiting to see if someone made a metal suit. awesome progress so far!

 

[kingpookey]

the chest armor is almost done just need to finish welding it up and grind the welds smooth.

 

[Turtlespoon]

Are you going to hinge or seperate the front/back plate? It's going to be hard to put on otherwise.

 

[VaultDweller]

Wow this looks amazing so far! Keep up the good work!
