We’ve made some significant progress on the armor parts and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The armor is really coming out well. It is symmetrical and correct to the show/movie. We will be test pulling parts this week and will be working on the rubber parts needed to complete this costume. The armor parts will be pulled from 1/8″ thick high impact styrene on a professional vacuum table to ensure the cleanest pull and properly heated parts.

We’ve finished the shoulder bells. The hardes part was to get the proper proportions and angles. The shoulder bells, don’t seem to be the most complicated of the parts but it is one of the more important pieces of the upper body armor.

The chest and back armor are nearly complete. We have some clean up to do to some areas to remove pitting and sharpen the lines. We should be making test pulls of these pieces as early as Wednesday June 17th.
