To remove pores and see flaws or reliefs to sand more, I have given a few layers of paint to cover the surface of the backpack..

Meanwhile, between drying the epoxy resin and backpack paint job, I spent my time cutting the helmet acrylic glass of the upper light.

That's terrific! What light source do you use for the helmet lamp?

Thanks Demetrios2177.
I used 20 Led lights. I made a series of holes in an opaque PVC tube, what I would do is concentrate the light and in this way simulate the original halogen light tube used in the movie.

I leave here a photo of my light invention.

Here's a little more progress from the backpack. It already looks better. A friend designed and printed some stickers for me, I have to thank him because they look great!!

The slowest process now will be all the sewing work, I'm not very good at sewing, but there is no other option if I want to do it myself, it will be based on trying to sew and everything goes well..

After investing countless hours, progress is being seen.

I will need many more hours for the rest of the progress, to join the pieces and continue sewing details on the pants as well...

 

[JamesM242]

I salute your self-taught sewing skills! Way to get in there and make it happen!

 

[joberg]

Great work...and the more you sew, the more experience you'll get

Hi I come back again.

Sorry for delay in my progress. It has been a very long year, the loss of my Mother in an accident left me quite far from everything, thanks to my friends who have been there that I return with the same or more energy in my projects. Sorry for spilling my stuff, let's move forward with the project and I hope you like how I'm progressing these days.



Thank you in advance for following my progress here and replying that you like what I have been making to date.

I continue adding intertwined twine on the sleeves..

A view of what it looks like and testing, before finally sewing the sleeves to the jacket, you can already see the football armor in the photograph.

I have added some more parts to get an idea and the whole thing looks pretty good..

I disassembled everything and I began to sew the sleeves in their final place aligned

It was time to start the pants and sew all their details

Since I couldn't wait any longer to see myself with it, I tried to wearing all I had so far, with quite some difficulty since it is really difficult to get dressed alone without the help of another person. It was difficult and overwhelming, when I put on the helmet everything instantly fogged up and I couldn't see anything... happy but very overwhelmed, that helmet urgently needs ventilation...

Sorry to hear about your Mother's passing in such tragic circumstances. It seems that the project's continuation is one way to cope and, so far, the progress you've made are quite impressive As you said, the helmet needs some kind of fan/air to make sure it doesn't fog-up...but, more importantly, that no accumulation of carbon monoxide occurs when wearing it
Eager to see your next update!
