Re: Mixed Pep/Foam War Machine and Gatling Gun with Stronger Mount and other WM weapo
Just a quick picture heavy update.. Not much done this week as work was crazy with state inspectors in facility and Gallup poll, uuughh glad its done..
Only got the neck seal glassed, in primer and cut this week..
here are some pics;
This is my planned and measured cut line..
wanted to stay away from straight as i though alignment might be an issue especially if I have to suit myself up.
Also wanted the seams on the sides as you can see the front on WM but not the sides due to the shoulders
Like the way it fit the shoulders and neck.. though I am a bit thick necked it fits good.
Above and below you can see how it fits perfect under the helmet, I can even turn my head a few degrees LOL!
Really going back and forth about keeping this hard shell or molding in urethane rubber like Davy did... would still need to be split so for this MKI War Machine, I'll probably leave it solid, then redo it in rubber off of this original... times a wastin for too many redos now!:angry
There is a flange shape that fits up inside the helmet that makes a nice seal in the back.. I really like my choice in seam location, but really wish I had chosen rounded edges and or a less spikey shape near my jugular and carotids!! Hopefully when padded and the edges thickened for magnets I'll be ok.
Had to have my wife take this chest up to chin shot as my MK3 neck seal ended up too short under the neck showed too much skin. Might remake this using this template which is stagefivedrifts work and mod it by simplying the front to match the MK3. It would possibly be perfect for the MK3 as it fits so good under the shell.
One for the road, couldnt resist putting a spare set of red eyes in my Maskedrider helmet for a night vision shot! Looks menacing, cant wait for the whole set of armor to be done!!
