Bodysuit?

Post by siruskane »

Hey folks,

So the boots are coming along nicely, they should be finished before the end of the month. Starting work on a new glaive after seeing the tutorial on here I really wanted to make a more page accurate one. But the body suit is another story. Where do I find one of those body suits?

Alot of old school folks used spandex. But I'm really wanting to get away from the whole "COMIC = Spandex" Form fitting fabric like a nomex flight suit. What you have in mind.

If I use a wetsuit or other material, does it have to have that red stripe on the arm and leg? If so, thoughts on how to get it there?

yes the stripe is part of the uniform. I looked at wet suits a few weeks back and after looking and touching the fabric, I concluded that this would be way too hot to wear and breathe comfortably. Instant Sauna. Stretch Cotton Jersey Fabric I think would be a good choice as it will breathe better

Like LT said.... not bad if you are trying to put together a Baron Fel tie pilot for a flight suit, but definitely a no go for a CE body suit for the guards.... far too baggy
