This is the first of 3 new costumes I want to get done for Dragon Con this year. Trying to make this as "cannon" to the original build as possible using similar materials and techniques that were used back in the early 70's. Helmet almost finished, waiting on materials to fabricate the eye lenses. Foam fab of the body should commence this week. Live streaming the entire build on my Twitch channel if anyone wants to check it out or ask any questions about the build or costuming/Props/FX in general. http://www.twitch.tv/evilfx
Here are a few progress photos of the build so far, I will post updates as time allows. For more photos/info check my FB page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Evil-FX-Props-Armor/305941566119243
