Armour - Torso, Undersuit and boots
I know this isn’t Halo, but I figure there is a lot of carry over and I may try for a Spartan next time.
I’m finally going to try my hand at going to Comicon this year (UK) and am hoping to go as Commander Shepherd.
I’m planning on 3D printing most of the armour, but if I print the lower torso and lower back (that comes with the files), there is no flexibility, so I was thinking of printing the abs and back plates separately and velcroing them to the undersuit, maybe with a bit of structure.
Veteran cos-players, is this a stupid idea?
How do people do torso armour and remain mobile?
My other idea is to create the base in EVA foam and then gluing the plates to that.
But I don’t know what to use as an undersuit, or where to get one?
It has to be fairly tight to conform to the back and abdomen.
I’m thinking of maybe one of the stormtrooper under suits and gloves.
Finally, does anyone have any suggestions for shoes / boots to go under the leg armour?
