Okay, this is for anyone doing a CLU, Rinzler or Sam Flynn Grid suit.
Here's what I imagine these suits will require and the source options.
EL tape and EL panels, and inverters: From either e-luminates or glowhut
Anybody have opinions on either company? I have a couple of panels from glowhut that work nicely, but I'm hearing e-luminates are brighter? True? False? Also I noticed the panels I have from glowhut are rather stiff, like a laminated card, not something you'd want to bend or fold.
Footwear: Waterproof motorcycle boots seem to be the best bet for the Grid look, I'm trolling the shopping section of google for the right pair.
Disk: Toy Disk, modded until it's no longer a toy but a prop. :cool (okay it's a toy, but don't tell anyone, we're adults :lol)
Top: I am using a long sleeve smooth black 1/4 zip mock turtleneck thermal for the base layer, not sure how to get the hex pattern on it yet.
Armor: chest, back, arm, thigh pieces which will be the mounting surface for the EL tape.
Layered 1/8 inch foam, first layer is the base, 2nd, for the detailing and EL tape channels; As for the foam type, I'm thinking either microcel or volara. Any opinions on the foam type?
Misc: Gaffer's tape for blocking out shape onto the EL tape.
Thoughts? Insights? Suggestions?
