Fantastic work my friend!
Very thorough and accurate. What are your plans for the fingers? Will you be building individual knuckles or will you substitute armored gloves?

Cheers,
Dave/Cereal.

Cheers guys, not sure about the hands yet, something detailed I expect.

looking good man hows you're movement in the full suit so far? i'd say some parts get quite tight on that!

Yes, rigid suits are never the most comfortable, although the strapping system is intended to partially assist with that. The upper body and the shins seem ok, but I'll know better once the thighs and the arms are on.

This is my first attempt at a regular video blog, for project previews and discussions that don't fit into any other specific playlist. This one however has a lot of Iron Man in it as well as other bits and pieces, so I'm posting it here.

There's info on the planning for my suit's Arc Reactor and gloves, and latching for the rest of the rigid pieces on the strapping system:

Thanks - I am going to do a partial suit up once the thigh straps are attached. All that's left to strap up then is the arms, although they just need some hooks adding to the straps that are already part of the upper body. Then I just have the missing kidney pieces, heels, hands, neck seal to make...

Still blown away by this build. Its one of a kind due to the exoskeleton. Really looking forward to the suit up just to see how it all works together for manovarability. Of course I have no doubt you will get it all perfect.

I think it should be pretty good, although rigid suits are never amazing for being able to move freely in. Now I've done the thighs using those blocks and pegs I'd also like to revisit some of the other pieces, like the chest plate, to make the latching system a bit more intelligent - so it locks in downwards which will make it a bit more secure. Then we should be sorted.

As much as I do too I understand why you would wait. I have a few things up my sleeve for my helmet that I am itching to give away but won't till its the right time. Nothing as adventurous as your exoskeleton of course.
