And that kids is why I to this day still promote the giving of Erector Sets at Christmas! AWESOME! You do realize that everyone on here is going to want you to put up templates and detailed drawings for all the parts, right? lol...
A couple of ideas/suggestions (Which I gladly stick up my arse), which you may or may not have already tried:
1. In lieu of having the brace that runs in front of the wearer's nose, is there a way to reinforce the pivot joints by running a support piece from the joint to the rear of the helmet?
2. My daughter is a lacrosse goalie which gave me the idea of the chin cup they wear to hold their helmets on (Or football, hockey, whatever) came to mind. Easy enough to find for $10, and can be epoxy'd in place.
3. Are you finding that there is enough tension in the rope you are using? Have you considered using a cable from an old bicycle? It would seem to me that the latex would cause the rope to stretch a bit, not allowing for a fully opened effect. Even fishing line may improve the issue, in that regard (Again, if it even exists).
AWESOME job, fellas!
wowow....Awesome i want to see how they move in video.....
Are you making the bottom mandibles swing out or is the joint pitched so they go down and out?
But hey it was yours so stick a unicorn horn on it a and spray it with a pearlescent metal flake if thats your thing.
