Pipe-Man Ver. 1
The uprights are too wide apart to fit the breastplate;
and I got over-zealous and cemented the top pieces so have to pick up a
few more T-sections and a short length of tubing. I'll also shorten the
legs a bit too.
I'm waiting on an arming jacket which will block the
see-through mail. The arms a bit too wide too - I'll see what other kind
of fittings are available.
The gauntlets also need to be rigged on the
ends of the "arms."

Wonderful, when you've completed it you could always place it in front of a window - it should prove to be an effective anti-burglar device. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks, Michael. I once thought of answering the door to door-to-door salesmen with my helmet on and using my falchion to point to the "No Solicitors" sign on the door. Merry Christmas!
Deletelooking good Dean!
ReplyDeleteever thought about spray paint the "pipes" bronze and/or gold?
cheers,
That may be a nice touch, Phil! Thanks for the idea. Merry Christmas!
DeleteHe looks a little skinny from side on. Perhaps pad the arming jacket with a pillow or cushion when in place to give him some girth?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 2D, this Pipe-Man is :) The jacket should give him a little more dimension, but as it'll stand in a corner of a room - he won't be seen side-view. Merry Christmas!
DeleteI like that. Nice one Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rodger. I've already plans for Version 2. :) Merry Christmas!
DeleteI like it! Millsy's idea is a good one- even if you just pad the shoulders he will "fill out" nicley.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Simon! The jacket or some other "stuffing" should fill him out better. Merry Christmas!
DeleteIt's still good work, very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fran. It is actually quite therapeutic - kind of like Lego building. :) Merry Christmas!
