Iron White Ranger (WIP-Concept)

Dunno if you saw my Sub-Zero thread in costume showcase but I was a MUCH bigger guy until recently and dropped it all but I gotta say even now with a much fitter physique I'm shying away from spandex lol I've been sticking to Neoprene or looser fitting things as I'm not confident enough to don the spandex yet....

Its the only thing that holds me back from putting together a TASM or Green Ranger suit...

ive been looking to see if i can find a kinda padded undersuit to add to the armored look
the search is still on

You'd probably be better off making your own,

Get an undersuit and add padding with foam pieces and stitch another layer over the padding or just hot glue if it'll hold or something similar the "pre-made" ones tend to be pricey and bulky... too bulky for a ranger look in my opinion.

Saw this done onto a neoprene wetsuit with great success for a Nightwing costume method I plan to use for a future project.... pic below hides the odd bumps and love handles imo :)

I hear you about the spandex. I had a store bought GL costume and it left nothing to the imagination:$. Although the armor should help with that.
 
Generally cannot be bothered with Power Rangers but I'm loving this. It's awesome seeing your design develop. Can't wait to see more!

Meh, while the spandex is classic, it doesn't hide anything, which can be bad, imo. The wetsuit approach would work too. But I worry about the potential for excessive heat build up inside the costume...
If I remember right (and I'm feeling too lazy to check) you have a codpiece right? So, you could do either. Go with what feels right (as cliche as that sounds).
 
I dont know yet if there will be a cod piece. might just try to stick to the armor the the original white ranger has
shield, gauntlets and shin guards
 
Uh, a cod would be a good idea if you haven't yet...plus, I kinda figured you were all ready doing a cod from the thread name...

its still a wip concept and im changing things as I go. i still have no idea what the final armor will look like
 
I'm wearing my Green Ranger shirt while working on the White Ranger....blasphemy? lol

I made a quick prototype of the shoulders
and im not too happy with it

I need to redesign the end piece. it dosnt look right and looks WAY too big
And after staring at this shield every day Im thinking ive been making it way too small.
Mine ends with my rib cage where the real white rangers is more at his abs

Ive been working sick and kinda getting burnt out so I may take a day or 2 off to recharge
 
Been watching Power Rangers like crazy for "research"....or cause its awesome!
And I forgot that the songs (while having horrible lyrics) were pretty good (kinda) rock songs

Im starting back at the gym tomorrow and was updating my Ipod and just HAD to add some classic songs from the song
Including 'Fight', 'Combat' and '5-4-1'

I might have to include the White Ranger theme to give me an extra push! lol

GO...WHITE...RANGER....GOWHITERANGER...GO!
