The side fasteners should be snap-closures, while the front closure can be merely a strap hinge. fabric-covered foam pieces can be glued or otherwise fastened to the lining of these pieces to flesh it out, and make it wearable. The shoulder, neck, and backplates should all be one piece, and the front chest piece another. Here, molded pepakura then typical resin-fiberglass-bondo and molding should work. I think the intended effect is a neither a thick plate or all-cushion construction, but a cushion beneath a hard armor shell, which is easily enough replicated. but it also seems to act like a cushion around the neck and as a pad for the harness over the shoulders. There appear to be rivets on the exterior of the collar, indicating it's a hard metal plate.
The neck collar creates a bit of a quandary. The chest and shoulders should be one unit, the chest two molded pieces with a fabric lining, and the shoulder pieces attached to a thick fabric base which is dropped from the shoulders of the chest. There is a variant to the design shown, which includes a yellow tinted visor plus microphone. Normal techniques should suffice here- custom model, Pepakura, cardstock model, resin,įiberglass, bondo and smoothing, then silicon mold and urethane-cast copies.
