Great introduction post. :thumbsup

The hands look fantastic, and I'll be following along to see how this comes out.

Are those the size stilts that will be used for the finished suit? They seemed a little short in proportion to the arm length.

Wow, marvelous. Can't wait to see the progress.

I thought I am supposed to see green object not green background.
Can you hold a can with it? :lol
I'm guessing that you will see thru hulk's mouth?
Green LED on the eyes would be cool.

Thank you for the kind words folks! To answer the questions from both of ya' ....

You are indeed correct about the total length of my arms v.s. the height of the stilts. The silly way in which I'm walking in the video (with my elbows up and out to the sides) is actually how Al will be positioned inside the suit. As a result, Hulk's hands will only hang down to about knee level

The arms were a bit of tricky business. Hulk's torso will be very wide (appropriately) so Alfred (the man of mystery inside the suit) will have only his arms from right above the elbow down sticking out of the torso. What this basically means is that Alfred's elbow is going to be inside the hulk's armpit and will be providing the shoulder motion.

On the hand rig, there is a hinge-point at the puppeteer's wrist so that Alfred's wrist will be inside the hulk's elbow.

Finally, Hulk's head will actually be up above Al's head on a special rig he's designing that will allow him to move Hulk's head about. Al will be able to see via a camera system that displays what the camera sees on a small screen inside the suit.

HOLY SANTA CLAUS S**T! This will be amazing!
Can't wait to see the progress pictures mate. I'll be keeping an eye out

Whoa! I can't wait to see this thing finished!

 

[jeffreygullett]

This is going to be amazing, I can already tell. Are you going to build stilts or use drywall stilts?

Can't wait to see the finished product here.

 

[GreenLightning]

Oh this should be good :thumbsup

 

[DestinedAnarky]

Can't wait to see more.

 

[abaker1381]

can't wait to see this come to fruition

Can you hold a can with it? :lolQUOTE]

It would be cool to rig something up where "hulk" could drink something and there be a tube that runs from "hulk's" mouth down to the guy in the costume. Lol.

 

[Mattdavid]

simply amazing!

 

[clancampbell]

Love it!

[Mr Fett]
