My friend is doing a professional shoot with me next week so will do a load of images for that :D
 
Well for the pro shots we are looking to find a nice industrial background, we will be going for low key shots like the one above!

Looking forward to getting it done, my mate says this is going to be is favorite shoot of the year haha
 
Does any one know the name/type of straps which are used around the bicep

The wires look like nylon cords, any climbing place should carry them, plenty of sellers online too. Just from the pic, they look like elastic nylon, but hard to tell for sure. The straps look like polyester-rubber blend elastic straps, you'll have to look around to find the matching pattern.

Hey buddy yeah going to go grabs some from a local store, I stupidly did not check my current straps and realised they are actually urethane :-( not sure how I can go about replicating now...

Also just throwing this out there, does anybody have any off cuts they don't need from coofunkcurly's undershirt mesh? If so throw me a pm as looking to get a bit more for my suit.

Cheers
 
I think the thick straps are just molded urethane or whatever material the rest of the suit pieces are made of.
 
Hey DarthPinhead, yeah, on my cast I don't have the straps in between the chest and shoulder armour!

Yeah, comic guy is correct, they are molded urethane on movie suit, same with mine also.

Got any ideas Fabian?
 
They just look so perfect that even if they were cast in urethane, the mold would surely be based on something pre-existing. like a ribbed rubber belt turned inside out?

I think your right matey, I'm trying to find something which resembles this look, rather than pay to get it cast in urethane.
 
No probs for the rep, give it out where due!

This place looks perfect tbh, they even do custom designs!

Will send them an email for sure!

Thanks again buddy!

that should sort that problem out, next is save for some carbon fibre inserts and a cowl from coofunkcurly/finhead

If anyone watching is looking for a TDK cowl for a smaller head, give me a shout or a pm. I will be putting an interest or fs thread up soon. I have a 23" head but the cowl is too tight for me with a mesh hood. Any interest hit me up! :)
 
Could be wrong but going by how complex this suit is I'm pretty sure those straps are not any found item and was made and cast by the production crew. Most likely done the same way spidey4fun has done his.
