I've got the facial mask covered...I contracted an Etsy seller to make it. As...I don't have the room, money, or equipment for making latex molds.

working on the biomask...

Gonna use crafting putty on the cracks and add more detail. Consider this a rough draft.

As for the bodysuit/gloves/feet I'm thinking about doing this and adding fake nails (from a nail salon and painting them black)...

The netting should be a baseball or hockey net. I'll need to find schematics/templates for the P1 style chest armor and shin/lower leg armor.

That biomask is lookin great! I gotta ask, how much did that mask cost you and what shop is it exactly?

That's for the full AVP style armour

It cost me about...$265 out the gate, shipping included. Monstermandanstudios sells them. However he has none listed at the moment...so I think his que for them is filled currently.

Starting Backpack construction now. Made mistakes with it...will take it apart and correct them.

Okay, so here's what I ended up with. Minus the hose on the back...

Added plastidip and spray painted the base layer of paint.

Thank you! Now comes the struggle of figuring out how that's supposed to connect to my body.

My Wolf Predator build has some useful info on backpack mounting.

I shall give it a look-see. Hopefully it won't be a difficult task. I can't imagine it was harder than building this monster...

 

[vebo1]

My process is a little involved. but I wanted it to be accurate.

Do you remember what page it's on?

This is the back plate I use to mount the backpack and medkit . The back pack and medkit slide over those hook in the back of the plate

This video at around 10:50 show how I attach the straps for easy removal .

I think on my YouTube channel i showed how I made it from a picture reference and added acrylic to be able to screw into a solid surface . Hope this gives you an idea on how to start .

Damn, dude! Your suit is not only a beautiful piece of art but highly ingenious.

 

[vebo1]

Thanks for your kind words.
