no worries. we all lead lives. once its got the go ahead. i want to start printing it and painting it

@tipperaryred im just off on holidays for anotehr week. but what do you think of the updates?

lets find out if it passes muster and will be viable for the costume first

back from holidays and made the changes to the helmet to reflect a lot of the measurments that you brought up. hopefully this is final version of the helmet and i can start printing.

just an fyi. i am on holidays til the 15th. so i will continue modeling once i return

making it a two piece would then be a clam shell construction, and would be a little easier from a design standpoint too. i have some ideas on the 3d model and how to design all the chest and abs so they look seamless and will assemble properly for front and back plates etc

maybe i am off base, but i feel like its a two piece. look below the armpit, the piece that you guys are ferencing as the upper chest disappears into the lower plate. my concern with that as its own plat is it wont have any structure there and would give rise to floating. From a strength standpoint, i think an upper and lower will be stronger. and if you look where the chest comes to, its a good inch or more above the belly button, so will give room for bending over still

this is all amazing. I will make all the changes. Now that i see ti, if i dont make the changes, it will be stuck in my head forever that its not perfect Will be a few days before i can get to it due to life, but i await the critiques for the sides and back. or should we wait for those until im done the front changes sicnce it will change the side profiles etc

maybe we word it that it is a turtle neck or a neck seal depending on what can be found. I will be getting mine made as a turtle neck just as i hate having a seperate neck seal like my current costume does

i agree 100%. I want to ensure that when i print it, its bang on. i look forward to your feedback this weekend

sounds good, i will start hunting for materials at fabric stores.

Im cool with that. did you look at the thread about the helmet?

the seamstress i talked to thinks it is more form fitting. she said to me to think of a meterial like captain americas suit, has that tough look, but is form fitting stretch fabric to allow movement. a flight suit is easier for sure, ala tie pilots,. just let me know what we going with and i will move that direction to find fabric

New thread for helmet i ordered the boots, i will post up in depth pictures once they arrive. I have thirty days to return them, so we can examine in depth if they will work or not once arrive. I'm cool with the flight suit as presented. if we are going that route, i can start shopping for fabric?

Hello, as requested, new topic for discussion of the helmet model. Let me know if any issues with the design. Be picky, lets get this model perfect.

thanks. i will make that change to the helmet then and then do final renders for approval what alterations to the boots would be needed you think? what does the red part indicate in your text around colouring? that we havent decided yet?

did you see the left side render of the helmet? any feedback on last renders of helmet? So then those boots i linked, would i be cool to buy them? i feel like the pants and the top are two different materials, but that could just be me based on the fact that the top looks like those british military sweaters with that pleating. soulart is part of the pr team for 501st and was on a few costume advisor roles, shoudl i invite her to this detachment so she can participate in the chat? i dont sew so she would be building it for me, her company she runs and makes a alrge number of 501st approved costumes is geeky pinks i ask first as i dont want to step on toes, just want to ensure we bringing the best costume forward for the eventual crl

when i looked at the photos it looked like a beige sole with red boots. Not that we are goign by it as the be all end all, but the mercs crl says red shoes beige sole too

also, thsi might be jumping the gun, but i found these shoes on amazon which fits the description for the shoes. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0995Y3LYS/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A6BRE0HD1NAMI&psc=1 what do you guys think? would these be a viable option for my shoes to the costume? i want to buy before they sell out. red chelsea boots are hard to find apparently

in regards to the flight suit. im talking to teresa who goes by soulart 41307 on the forums, she has written a few crls, and she says that cotton isnt a good option for the suit. she said as tight as the suits are, cotton is not viable as a fabric choice. she says need to be a spandex or spandex cotton blend

any feedback on latest renders?

More upates. Again, Just leaving the triable there as a place holder. Especially now that the discussion as reopened about the triangle. Im getting close to finishing the helmet, can we get a for sure answer to the tringle recessed or painted?

thank you. ill get started on these. can you confirm that we have for sure settled on the triangle being painted on?

before i started the model. there was debate on it, and the consensus was that it was painted on. is the triangle discussion being reopend for debate?
