Woopwoop! Janky AF and I need to up my face-game, but the big things work!
- durability is mostly solved
- production time cut in half
I'll experiment with this one and do a new improved version over summer. Biggest things I hope to fix:
- thinner (.8mm would be perfect, this one with 1.4 is ridiculous...

Hot off the presses~
Going to get proper test-photos in a day or two, but y'all get a sneak-peek of things to come. It's janky as fuck and has a lot of experiments that I'm not sure will even work, but jesus christ it's finally done after 4-5 months of work!
Biggest difference between this and e.g. the...

Hell yes, we're almost there! Peeling, face, some makeup and a zipper!
Still lots of prototyping/first-attempt jankiness around it, but it's a good feeling when ~5 months of work is about to hit a milestone

Milestone achieved :p
Not the best pieces, but good enough for a prototype. Jesus that ass is big

Y'all staying sane in this 'interesting time'?
It seems I'm hitting the edges of what is feasible without specialized tooling. 5.5L molds with 3L injection syringes and a 6L mixer is freakin' painful.
On the bright side I can slice the models in half and re-print molds. Another week or two and we'll have the...

4,5 litres... This'll be an interesting one to make.
[x] 25/25 pieces done for the base mold
[ ] 10/16 pieces done for the shaping stuff
Suitv6 is coming along slow and steady despite the general 'interesting times' of covid.

70% done with printing the updated base mold, started poking at actual suit design. Since there was a recent furor over the artists that did a silicone model of Kim Kardashian (The Bum) and they published the .obj file... yeah, let's try. Fun experiment towards uncanny valley, and I need to redo all foam molds anyway!

Well, the black v6 prototype failed due to shrinking in the new production method... so new molds it is. 7/25 parts done, another ~2 weeks to go. Plus reworked foam molds. Woopwoop. Will drop an effortpost on FB about the method later (early march?)
Question: what's of more interest here, behind-the-scenes stuff or mask...

Ended up with some interesting textures! Very not-perfect, but lots of lessons learned. The next one should be magnificent... and thick. This one is 1mm+ all-over. Jebus. Redoing the workshop a bit when this finishes, and off we go!

First off - thank you for the support! This project has eaten my spare time for years and years. There's still plenty to do though, and your help is aporeciated!
Some current "behind the scenes" attached. Thanks to a tip-off, I can now reliably (~kind of) cast suits around 1mm thick. The first experiment has lots of sur...
