VacTrooper Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Man, I'm tall.... It's Just a bummer I can't pose him very much. It's still cool to have a LIFE size action figure of ME! At the same time, It's kinda creepy... :shock: I still sleep in the same room as this guy, though. I just tell myself, "It's just wood and fabirc, Just wood and Fabric..." LOL But, this is REALLY handy. I've got a lot more space in my room now. WOW. I'm tall..... LOL Made this out of a 4'x4' sheet of plywood, bolts, nails, staples, fabric and duct tape... BUT it s REALLY sturdy, so that's all that really matters... TOTAL COST, about $40. NICE and cheap, and SEMI posable. I've got just the arms posable. I really like this, because now I can see just how nice this armor can be. I can adjest the parts on a form similar to my build, and take nicer pictures for you guys when I go to mod again.

ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Nice pics Alex. I'll have to take some pics of my setup to post up as well. Quote
Smitty Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Ive been wanting to build one of those myself. Looks great Alex! Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 What does it look like without the armor? I've been thinking about something like that. I've also though about checking out some of these stores going out of business where I might be ablr to pick one up on the cheap. Quote
VacTrooper Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 Without the armor and jumpsuit, it's just a frame of plywood, duct tape, and fabric. Really kind of a cob job... LOL Thanks for the feedback, guys! Quote
Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Is it like a flat 2D cutout of a person, or more "shapely"? Can you take a pic next time you take it off there? That's probably cheaper than buying an actual mannequin. Quote
VacTrooper Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 I made this myself out of 3/4" plywood. I measured my body and transferred the measurements to the sheet, cut them out, and added fabric as muscles and meat. (if i had any... LOL) Quote
