**** Man, I'm telling you I keep forgetting to check over here at W.I.P. This is really coming along. I'm liking the arm. I would like to see it next to something for size comparison. I think it will look very cool. You did some decent fabricating by the way. All you have to do is try and look what you get. I can see by everything in the photos that you have been neglecting your family. Ha. Are you going to make your deadline?

Hey Tony, A suggestion. Take that loin cloth and go beat it around on the pavement. Rub all those edges out.I think you will be happy with the outcome. I'm checking on that KC comic con. I may actually have to drive up there and check it out. KC is only about 12 hours away.

Oh yeah Nothing is gonna stop me from making the deadline . ( Dennybobbutt ) told me about wizard com in St Louis at the end of march , I believe it is the 22nd 23rd 24th and Stan Lee is gonna be there so i have stepped up my game here and my wife helps out a bunch on makinf the casts and stuff she really likes seeing it come together .
And i am gonna take that leather and try your idea that sounds like a cool effect . And that would be awesome if you made it up here i plan on taking all three suits to kc con. And if you decide to come up let me know if i can help with anything to get you here.
And here is some more updates
I poured the other foot over the weekend and that was boring good thing i had the walking dead marathon on. I also carved out the head to fit it to mine and started installing the beads and zipper in the back for easy acess. The leg armor is done i just have to fill them with foam and paint them and install the leatherstraps and i attached the leather loin cloth to the armor loin looking pretty killer
here is some pics of the head after test fitting and installing the beads.
I added some cut out areas on the loin cloth it looks alot more weathered than it is and one of the pics is of the burlap i prepped for the casting. I plan on having the backpack ready and paint the torso and leg armor and feet by the end of this week so keep an eye out guys. and gals.
And yes that is me in the pic i will take a pic of me with out the mask next time. LOL

I like the arm. It looks like you could put a giant shoulder cannon on it.

OK pred fans here is some major work over the weekend i finished installing the teeth and added a ring to the bottom horn under his mouth and i finally got up the nerve to sling some paint on the top torso . I decieded to go with the hippie print again I call it ( cow print ) and installed the netting . I also put all the brackets on the harness and backpack area. I am going with a large cannon it should be here soon . and it will be awesome on the set up i have and here is a test fitting to see how it all looks enjoy . I have several modifications but for the most part i am pretty happy on how it looks so far. I am ordering the latex today to finish the pants and the feet . that is all i have left to do and it's hunting time !!!

Well i just got lucky with the time this weekend i guess , but my foam finally got here !!! and i was able to get the leg armor pulled out and filled with foam and now tonight i am going to paint them up and have them ready . and while i am sitting on my ass at home i am finishing sewing on the netting and doing some adjustments with the back pack and installing the hoses to everything . the photos show how i was able to keep the batteries self contained in the arm unit and all the hoses are just for looks and can be removed rather easily. to make it easy to get in and out of the suit. hope you like the build. let me know what everybody thinks of it.
And jeff don't worry the feet are next for sure that is all i have left .LOL I ordered 5 gallons of latex so i should have enough to make a few pairs.
Getting closer to show time !!!! And if anybody wants to make the trip i am going to be in St louis at wizard con at the end of the month with this Bad Mo Fo !! so if you plan on going let me know !
