FALLOUT 4 T-51b Cosplay Build.

[GDKain]

Hi all, coming out of lurking I decided to make my project known to all, in hopes that I may receive critique and advice as I go about my long lengthy process of making my dream cosplay/costume. A fully detailed and 1:1 scale T-51b Power Armor Suit, I stumbled across Fallout back in my childhood days without my dad's permission, and instantly fell in love with the T-51b Power Armor. As an adult and thanks to modern technology and knowledge of costume makers of today, I am willing to invest and make this dream a reality.

I also plan on using this thread as a sort of check list and progress chart for my development and fabrication of a power suit of epic proportions! xD

As of now for the armor this is a list of features that will be built into the armor.

hands free toggle switch for the headlamp.

hinged arms and legs using an exoskeleton.

a custom rigged water cooling and internal fan system to keep the wearer cool and dry.

a built in camel pak for hydration and air filtration filters

all along side the intended exterior, to provide some notion to lore and also some comfort whilst wearing the suit.

I am currently working out dimensions for the suit with room in mind for ventilation and range of motion.

Finally finished calculating the scale for the suit. when fully loaded will stand at a whopping 7'1" tall!
Many more steps ahead left to take.

I did a 7ft tall build for my Zaku and now I'm working on some T-60 armor. This will fun. Good luck with this. I'll be following along for sure.
