^^^ yeah, I'm interested in what that armor would look like. Craft foam glued together, painted, and plasti-dipped.
I've been toying with the idea of a 1/4" or 1/8" wetsuit mixed with hexagon patterned spandex. The suit would primarily be made of the neoprene suit. The hexagon parts would be the spandex material, and the armor would be more (or thicker) neoprene. This would give the costume a tight spandex look, with the ability to add armor / lights very easily.
What do you guys think?

from what iv been able to gather the costumes in the movie used spandex (elastane) covered by a hexagonal pattern and latex-foam for the armor. so if you can mold the foam to you body it would look great. and to get the leathery look just add industrial buffing gloss.
this is where i got my info http://clothesonfilm.com/tron-legacy-light-suit-costume/15850/#panel-1

Hey Soul,
Just curious as to how the progress is coming on the hex pattern fabric. I am interested in purchasing some, and if you did happen to sell it in already made suits, that would be even better! Please let me know, and thank you!

First off, Amazing suit! your really the reason i joined up here and i have been keeping an eye on your build for a little while now.
Do you know if any of the UD Replica guys sell the spandex that has the rubber hexagon shapes on it? I have already sent an email out their way on their site but i have not gotten a response yet. I really like your fabric you made but you said yours wont be ready for a little bit so im looking around at anywhere i could get the hexagon style material.
Thanks man!

As soon as I finish this first run of disc kits I'll be dedicating my time to the hex fabric! I'm looking into doing full spandex suits
Thanks for the compliment! I can't wait to get back to my suit! So many projects going on right now, it can be overwhelming at times. I think UD is only selling DOT approved motorcycle leathers. I hope to have the hex fabric worked out by Feb. I've added a metalic fleck to my formula so now it has a bit of a shimmer in the light which looks awesome!

Awesome! i can't wait to see it completely done man! and i know what you mean by too many projects going on at once
Where in Colorado are you? cause if your in CO Springs then i have a buddy down there that when your done he may be able to just pick it up from you XD
Will you be doing the full suits only or will you have the option of full suits or just the fabric?
Well good luck on your disk kit and i can't wait till the fabric is done!

Hi,
This is David from UD Replicas. :cool
Our TRON LEGACY movie replica motorcycle suits are incredibly accurate replicas of what was seen on film...down to the raised hexagon 'silicone' printed fabric. That said, we don't sell parts or materials from these suits and only the finished garments themselves.
Sorry if we missed your email but myself being proud member of the RPF...I'm able to answer you here openly just the same. :thumbsup
Loving all the Tron costume work you guys are doing!
Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!!!
David
I can vouch for David and the amazing work they do at UDR as I've seen the suits in person at SDCC last year. It was a pleasure meeting you as well David. :cheers

Soulinertia, Just so you know... I'm on the list for some fabric
I'm going with a neoprene wetsuit for the under layer, so I probably won't need a full suit made. Just some yards of fabric to cover up the wetsuit, and maybe some gloves

Thanks for the information David! I was hoping that you would be able to sell it as fabric but i understand.
Soulinertia, looks like so far you are the only one i know of on the net that is making the fabric so i am sure you will be really busy filling in orders when you have time to get to it XD
Good luck on the kits and i will definitely be watching this thread a lot to see what happens!

Sooooo, I have a question. Dont be afraid to say no to this! ^^;; But I was wondering about your pattern, is it a possibility that you could just send the pattern? Like just a picture of the pattern, flat of course. I have seen the picture of it hanging from your arm, but if you dont mind id really enjoy having a copy of this so I could try my hand at making my own. If the answer is no then no worries! ^^ Ill just keep on working! I just figured I should ask first!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the update Soul!
Not to bug you or anything, but what are your rough ideas as to what you may charge for the full spandex suits? PM me if that would be easier
I am planning on making two full user suits by halloween and one siren costume.
We are about to begin doing body casts of ourselves so we can sculpt the "armor" onto it so it will be form fitting to our bodies this next week!
