Ridley Scott is calling

anyone know of a 3d model for the chest armor?

Has anyone tackles the martian Eva chest armor and backpack yet? Are there models or templates?

 

[Captain April]

I started to work out the chest and backpack a few years ago in SolidWorks, but I never finished it. My biggest problem was not having good dimensions reference, a lot of photos but none with a ruler in it. This is as far as I got.

Captain April - I'd be interested in purchasing files. These look great. How much more is needed to finish?

 

[Captain April]

I opened the files yesterday after a long hiatus, my concerns haven't changed but I started work on it again. I am definitely interested in selling the files, due to Covid-19 I have been unemployed since July 2020, with the full understanding that this model will only be an approximation of the design. I am completing the details, of which their are a great deal. If anyone here can assist in providing accurate dimensions on the original costume that would be great.

I’d be up for buying a set of files once they’re completed. I’m not savvy with manipulation of 3D files so happy to pay for the work of those who are.

That's fantastic. Are you going to finish it? If not, that image is a great reference! Well done.

This is as close as I've been able to find.

Just saw this commercial for Mio:

MiO TV Commercial, 'Astronaut'

Surveying the wreckage of her spaceship, this astronaut is furious when she picks up a bottle only to find it filled with plain water. Unacceptable. Luckily, a fellow astronaut comes to the rescue and tosses her some Berry Pomegranate MiO. Water tastes like water, which is why MiO felt the need...

Looks like a variation of The Martian suit armor

 

[joberg]

Yes, very close. Great commercial btw

Looks like he is building a 3d-print model of the chest unit and backpack (something a lot of us have been hoping to see).

I’m starting to build it! That’s a screen grab from Armorsmith Designer. Nice app.

 

[SemajOvured]

So this happened. What do you guys think?
