Hello everyone!
Longtime reader of the RPF, just now made an account because I've run into a particular structural problem that I just can't find a good solution for.
Background:
I'm building Samus Aran's Varia Suit (reference below). I've finished a good portion of the suit - see my instagram (@xephyrcosplay) if you'd like more progress pics.
The base materials are Sintra plastic, with Apoxie Sculpt for all the finishing details and cleaning up wobbly curves from forming the plastic.
The present problem, is how exactly to mount the shoulders. Reference photos attached at the bottom, with and without lights so you can see the available area I have to work with and what parts to be avoided (i.e. the lights). They each weigh about 3 lbs. When attached, I want them to be able to move with the rotation of my shoulder.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
