Hello folks, a long over do prototype has been in the works done different then any other suit out there. This suit is all vacuum formed from 90,000ths high impact styrene plastic, the neck, elbow/knee joints, and ab/stomach section will all be latex and a few smaller details will be resin cast.
I went this rout for a few simple reasons, much cleaner then resins and fiber glass, construction is much faster and less (glues, rivets, or straps), parts will be way easier to customize, and most importently is a lot more durability.
I sculpted all the original vacuum form molds out ultracal (concrete), wood, and Aves Epoxy Sculpt (greatest product ever created).
This procees is just like building a model car or airplane parts are in 2 halves weilder together using and acid based solvent then the seems are reinforced with styrene strips same as parts that require more durability, than putty and sanding and final steps with primer before painting.
Note: some molds are still in the works but will be done soon enough.
Thanks for checking out the post and enjoy.
