If you want to get into more details, jump over to. So I'm playing a bit of the waiting game while I work on the undersuit pants.Īgain, this is just the highlights. I'm hoping adding the zipper and tool mesh will stiffen it and help but the neck might be a trial & error process, so stay tuned for how that'll turn out.Ĭurrently waiting for the fabric sample swatches to come in to finalize color shades and such. It's not high enough and doesn't stand up well. It fits perfectly but the neck needs work. Faux leather and tool mesh will probably round out the fabric choices. Mock up doesn't show any of the arm detail either. The mock up material is the same fabric I'll be using for the base layer but in different color. Grabbed some screen caps of what the Spartan-IV undersuit looks like. I get into a lot more detail on the blog I started to chronicle this project but here are the highlights: I just ordered the EVA foam, so while I wait for that to come in I started on the undersuit. While the armor build will still be new territory for me, sewing the undersuit is a bit more at home since I've made a ton of different costumes in the past, mostly historical related. And any painting/sealing that'll be done will just happen at parent's place in NY.Īnyways, I'm starting to make a Spartan-IV armor build with an undersuit to go with it. But I'm back (same apartment), but going to try foam armor instead since that seems to be a little more lung-friendly. First one I got through a few paper pieces when I realized that resining and such in a small apartment in Boston while living with the girlfriend and dog wasn't a great idea. This is my second attempt at making Spartan armor.
