I was just thinking I should try and slow down to be more precise, but if it looks clean to you then I'm stoked! Thanks, Vebo1!

OMG. Mad scramble mode to Wednesday!

More back pack:

About to reinforce this mount now.

This may look better in the pic, than in person. I got the hang of painting the fabric about 10 minutes into starting. I totally spaced and forgot to test paint on a covered area. Ah, well.

Feet are almost done! Just need to paint the sandal straps.

Looks class! Can’t wait to see it complete!

 

[Red2]

Almost there. Almost there.

Test fit.

Paint started on the noggin.

Top row of dreads glued in.

Parts getting painted. Found a Krylon can, Dark Metallic I think it's called. Basically a metallic gunmetal, I guess. Looks good to me.

The build is awesome .

I agree with Vebo, this is an AMAZING build red!!

 

[Red2]

Thanks, guys! Appreciate all the support.

Two more late nights to go. And it's supposed to rain here in Austin Wednesday. Great. It rained last year too but not enough to rain us out. Anyone have yautja poncho design?

Pack is painted. I may add more detail to it afterwards but this passes Halloween muster.

 

[Red2]

At work messing with the wrist blades. Doesn't look like actuation is going to happen. Need to get both gauntlets finished by tonight, and if I have time, try to build a bio-mask one more time tonight.

No biggie. These builds are always a learning process.

 

[vebo1]

The stress. Time waits for no one. Red2 you are almost there. I have a few things to tidy up as well.Will you stll need the poncho halloween night? I really hope the weather turn out good for you and the little one.

 

[Red2]

Thanks, Vebo1!

Forecast says the heavier rain rolls in at midnight but spotty showers throughout the day.

 

[Red2]

Okay, got rained out! Which is good, cause although the suit is perfectly ready for trick or treating, I wanted to get some last minute details in. Was up till 3 this morning and almost 2 the night before! I'm so excited.

Here was her test fit last night before dinner.

Worked on the gauntlets last night. Had to ... Derrick G

Just quilled him up now. Ended up using polymer clay. Rolled them out, made points, baked in the oven for 20 minutes. Wife made these for me. I showed her how to make one and she made the rest.

Need sleep!!

 

[vebo1]

Awesome job. I like her pressing the bomb gauntlet picture.

 

[Red2]

So my neighborhood has teamed up and decided to do a Halloween do-over tonight. Awesome!!

Daughter wakes up this morning with 103° fever.

Doh.

 

[vebo1]

First and foremost i hope she feels better. But that sucks for her. I know it came at the worst possible time and she was super excited. Well if not this year hopefully next Halloween will be better.

yes ...clean foam work,.... my shop table looks like Godzilla stepped on it..

 

[Red2]

We made it out last night!

Last minute decision to participate in our neighborhood Halloween do-over (which was a great community effort, super thankful).

Hurried home and quickly hobble her wrist computer together cause I had taken it apart at lunch to install LEDs. Coached my wife on getting her dressed, and with some small adjustments out the door we went. Had to hot glue the back pack to chest cause the Velcro was not able to withstand the dread movement. This was the first time she suited up fully and even walked around for more than 30 seconds so it was expected to be a learning experience.

Still a bunch of details to add, chest net, trophy necklace, redo the cannon, etc.

She loved it.

Taste the rainbow!

6 years old at the end of this month. (Yes, she's super tall.)

Lots more to do!

 

[Derrick G]

Awesome...

 

[LunaticNic]
