Preliminary design and materials list

-------------

I'll list everything I can remember as far as materials.

-Framework: 1/2" aluminum bar. Its good for being light weight and being able to bend 90 degree angles without creasing.

-Mounting plate: 1/8" PVC sheet suspended in the framework by "duck head" clamps and 1/4-20 screws and nuts.

-Value sections, elbows and rigid tubing: PVC pipe and various fittings

-Value knob: Scuba tank knob

-Heatsinks: 1/4" expanded PVC sheet

-Compressor (the large tube inside the heatsinks): 4" thin wall PVC pipe

-Air filter cover ( large flat part on the left side): 0.60" styrene sheet

-Air filter cartridge (boxy part on left side bottom): 1/8" expanded PVC sheet

-Gas canisters: Empty sunscreen cans

-Burger box (blue grey box on lower right side): Vacuformed HIPS

The respirator was expanded PVC sheet cut and layered up to be virtually hollow. Styrene was added to the outside to give the details.

Maybe this weekend I can get him to suit up and we'll make a video showing off the storage space and compartments.

Hi Johnny, Is there any way I can purchase a kit from you? I can be reached at djred5@gmail.com

Hey troopers I am very exited to show what I made for my little boys.

We debuted these on Halloween day at Stan Lee's Comikaze in LA. My boys trooped in this armor for 7 hours and this was there first time trooping in ABS plastic armor!

Here is a video I made of them entering the con...

We had a great time at this con... Lots of people stopped us to take pictures and the boys loved it. LOL

I want to make it clear this is not the tall toy cut up and reattached to my boys. I made vacuum-formable bucks with correct details. I assembled the armor from ABS pulls and painted them with the Rust-Olume x2 White Glossy spray paint.
