Re: Juggernaut costume
thanks, its something I was working on and thought I should at least have my head cover. Although I guess magneto's helmet would do the same job.

Re: Juggernaut costume
Thanks for the input. after thinking about the desgin I believe that you are right and that a fana dn copper tube would cause more moisture problems than it would solve (sweating and such). I still think there has to be a simple way of cooling myself. I am no stranger to sweating in suits ( I have a foam Warmachine and a Tk) but in a full upholstery foam suit I believe that overheated could be a medical problem as there would be NO airflow in the suit.
I have been looking into Thermoelectric cooling as well. This employs the Peltier effect and basically causes one side to get cold while the other side gets hot (super simplified explanation). I know that there are very expensive cooling suits with circulating water, but they cost upwards of $400-700. Thanks for your honest opinion Kix and the realworld advice. I would hopw that if we can figure something out that a lot of people (ironman, stormtroopers, etc.) could employ this and make everyone's life alot more present while in costume!

This is a link to a Peltier cooling module that someone made for a Fur suit. Looks promising and no change of a hose bursting and soaking my suit.

Re: Juggernaut costume
New updates! I have been scratching my head on how to build the torso without making it look goofy. My initial instinct was that bigger is better, but after some thinking I realized that making the muscles too big will make it very hard to move as well as look ridiculous as they would look out of proportion. I will upload some of my reference pictures in a minute to let you see my goal. I have added the trapeszius muscles and will finish with the latisimus dorsi before I go to bed.

Re: Juggernaut costume
It's looking good so far. I think bulking up the back and filling out the lats will really add to the believability.
Something that I think you might be neglecting is this area that I've circled in red. I don't really have a name for it. The way your muscle suit is going right now there are gigantic pecs and abdominal muscles sitting on a weak little skeleton. Filling out this section suggests that he has a strong rib cage capable of supporting those muscles.

Re: Juggernaut costume
Awesome Hazmat! Thank you for pointing that out to me. I would have completely overlooked that area. I just finished working on the lats so I'll upload those in a minute. Thank you again for your honest opinions. I think sometimes people get nervous that they might offend the builder, but that how we learn from each other and get better at building!

Re: Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
After working most of the evening, I have an issue. The Biceps are very close to the pecs and I am limited in my options due to my arm length. Anyone else run into this problem or have a suggestion? His Bicep is going to be rather small compared to the rest of the arms.

Re: Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
on my hulk suit ( http://www.therpf.com/f78/big-muscly-character-base-hulk-thanos-thing-233192/index2.html )
the chest is quite wide and my arms aren't long enough to reach the hands and i've ran into the same problem
you can spare to extend the width of the chest without needing long arms
if you are going to create moving hands i would suggest that you use this mechanism
http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Animatronics-robotic-hand/?ALLSTEPS
it obviously needs to be scaled up a bit and could probably be made with sturdier materials
my hulk hands wont be able to move so ill probably just attach them to the wrist and mount a handle inside so can still move the arm around
just an idea
good luck on your suit its looking great!

Re: Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
Thanks superdaft, I am subscribed to your hulk thread and it looks awesome! So you think I could slim the chest to increase my arm length? It soounds like it might work but I'll have to do a lot of thinking and testing before I cut my suit in half. Thank you for your suggestions!

Re: Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
what i was saying was you can still keep the chest wide but you'll have to use arm/hand extenders instead of having to shorten the arms
i hope this makes sense haha

Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
Great build! I am not a learned student of this character but he is Juggernaut, not "bench-pressernaut," right? He mainly smashes into stuff? I think somewhat smaller pecs are perfectly in keeping with his particular shtick. Powerful back, thighs, abdomen and neck are critical. Pecs, not so much. Just my opinion.

Re: Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
Also, remember that the pectoralis muscle is triangular, coming to a point laterally at its insertion into the humerus (arm bone). Start trimming there and it will reveal the biceps more.

Way better. Look at anatomy drawings and you will improve the front of the armpit. The deltoid is also triangular and it should not (IMHO) come quite that far around to the front. That will free up your arm to swing forward at the shoulder while wearing the costume.
This is excellent work!

Re: Juggernaut costume *UPDATE 2-28-15*
My progress for this weekend. I think I freed up enough room for the biceps. Started the lower torso (Which looks very sassy from the back). Hopefully I can get some more foam this week and have something I can walk around in by the end of the week! Thanks everyone for the help and keep the advice coming!
