Pacific Rim Jaeger Suits?

[TKSteve]

Anybody else contemplating building these? I've been amassing reference pics. :thumbsup

Wow this would be awesome!!! cant wait to see the build...

if a game comes out we should be able to get models to work from.

There is a game coming out, looks pretty good as well.

Might build "Eureka Blue" , the one that protects Australia. Pending the performance of set giant robot.

Are you guys talking about making costumes of the Jaegers or the Jaeger pilots?

 

[emolloy93]

Have you heard of The Game Station on youtube? They have permission from WB to do there own Pacific Rim short film, and they've had a few Jaegers, Kaiju and pilot suits made for there filming by a prop company. They've got a few behind the scenes vids out across a few channels and the actual video is out tomorrow I think

 

[Jono moshi]

I'm thinking the Jaegers, But the pilot suits look pretty cool too.

 

[teranmx]

I was mostly looking at the pilot suits.

 

[greglr1975]

the pilot suits would look sick. the jaegers are cool but the scale is a little intimidating to me.

A Jaeger pilot suit has been added to my must build list after seeing the movie Tuesday night! Now to find good reference pix of the back!

 

[Fiddlesticks]

I would love to see somebody on here work a build. The pilot suits in the movie look badass.

 

[Bodatheyoda]

I just saw the movie and I'm tempted to try making a pilot costume... Considering using Worbla or something similar

 

[TKSteve]

I'm going to try converting a toon-style clone suit into a pilot suit. Pretty doable, methinks.

Pacific Rim - the RPF Gallery

We took thes photos of the suits at Comic Con last year. Hope they help. They should give you all the details you need.

Would love to build a Gipsy Danger costume, but not sure when I could schedule the time to do it! I did buy an action figure, though, so have a nifty little reference model to work from...

I was cracking up a little, as it looks like CPAP tubing in the Jaeger suit's oxygen lines. I have thrown away dozens of those things over the years!

As much as I'd love to see the jaegers as costumes, the proportions would be a massive problem without some clever trickery. It'd be very cool to see solutions for the limb placement, the silhouettes of gypsy danger, striker eureka and maaaaybe crimson typhoon could be squashed in and made to work around the lower half of a human body, but the arms on all of them are very far apart - maybe some puppeteering of the lower arms would work whilst having the bulk of the chest and head portions sit above the wearer's head.

Pity, I actually liked cherno alpha the best. Baww, impossible proportions!

Yeh. Plus when you weren't wearing it it would be an awesome statue....
