Not only did you create the most realistic cosplay costume I’ve ever seen, but undoubtedly the most practical too. Whilst everyone is struggling to get out of their costumes at a convention to use the toilets, you can literally climb out and climb back into yours afterwards. Absolutely genius.
@@jacobrardin That's on the West Coast. On the East Coast, Lyons and Maxson made it so Scribes do both research and maintenance while Knights and Paladins are both soldiers, just different ranks.
@@Mat0s-316imma elaborate a bit more, paladins having a higher rank pretty much made them commanders on the battlefield, but sentinels having more jurisdiction and reign than the paladins.
@@Lessgo00 just a typo y’all no need to be rude about it lord and the way I used it was technically proper as I’ve watched him make the suit for a long time now and I was referring to the growth and change to the suit
I think your best bet for the flight suit is to sew on the details using different color cloth. Looking at the source material, it actually looks like the orange is the extra cloth sewn onto a chacoal gray base suit. It looks like they're intended to something like wear points, where the suit will rub and chafe against the interior of the power armor, while offering lighter layers for joints like under the arms. It also looks like there's a grey patch on top of the orange patch on the chest to provide a secure rigging point for a harness of some kind. Additionally, it looks like there are connections points for hoses for a climate control unit to keep the wearer cool underneath all that clothing and armor, which, is pretty realistic because you'd *need* something like that in order not to overheat.
Sewing extra stuff on would prolly look nicest, but could always bleach the design then dye those parts. Might help it not need the climate control! Or perhaps sew some lines after you dye it.
looks sick mate, my uncle used to make space marine suits for conventions, but it took 3 men and an early arrivial to get him into the damn thing! this looks like an extremely good balance of precticality and lore accuracy! hope the con go's well
If you want something heavier to work with for the undersuit, a welders suit should work. There's a lot of different designs, and the orange color is spot on.
@@defiantnight2668 For the full jumpsuit? Probably, but I bet you could strip an insulating layer out with a seam ripper or a pair of scissors, and then you'd still have the heavy outer fabric to work with.
>builds Power Armor exoskeleton in his garage that would make a DARPA engineer raise an eyebrow >needs help dyeing fabric First off, you're still doing pretty damn good brother.

@@D3xterJettster it's the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, basically the advanced r&d department for the US military. They work on a lot of secret high tech stuff and invent new tech that no one else has.
Its not a true power armor we have some functioning exoskeletons that let humans carry more weight that honestly could and tossed into something like this however they don't have the best track record as they have some malfunctions that could lead to injury and a short battery life. this however is an amazing fun little project that is super cool. I wish I had a garage to build stuff like this.
I can’t even remember the first video I saw of this project it was that long ago. But it’s incredible too see it finally complete congrats dude this is looks amazing.
I always feel iffy about these kind of jokes cuz Bethesda games still are quite the overwhelming challenge of coding, even when bugs still come out at the end Of course, some of those still existing 5 years after the game launched is a whole other monster to deal with. Com'on Hodd Toward!
Bethesda games are not more shabby then games created by Blizzard, EA Games released in 2015. I personally think that God Howard did a freakin good job.
This is legendary! Excellent work from you and your daughter! This is the best thing I've seen in cosplay since the General Grevious a year or two ago!
This is absolutely incredible! You are an artist! I'm blown away. Not only that, you legitimately have the look of a Brotherhood of Steel Knight while wearing the armor.
Wow. So amazing dude. Truly something incredible that you personally have made. Something that had made hundreds and thousands of people happy to see. What a joy to watch! We love your work and you
Absolutely impressive, sir! I got literal chills when I watched ya come out of it! My better half suggests sticking to sewing or hot gluing fabric, as the painting the suit may not quite "pop".
That is AWESOME! Amazing work! The only thing I'd say is that a blue Vault-Tec jumpsuit would probably be a bit better for a cosplay since it's more recognizable, but the armor itself looks fantastic!
This is amazing and inspiring work, bravo sir. If you're looking for a partial dye or coloring on the jumpsuit, I recommend either stitching on a seperate material OR multiple layers of fabric paint; but that's just what I know as an art store clerk
Oh my god this is amazing!! The way it opens is perfect I am so in awe! I'd go to colossal con just for you! For making the flight suit look more like Danse's, I'd recommend fabric paint. It'd be the only way to get clean lines that way and you could even get the little black lines. if you want the orange to be a little less bright, you can partially stain your suit with coffee grounds! it won't cover the orange like dye would and (with oxyclean) it could be restored to full brightness too. I hope you have a wonderful time at your con! :)
There are a couple of resist dyeing methods that would work too. Basically you get a paste (it could be mud, wax, or starch etc) paint or you could even screen print it on. Then when dye the cloth it'll protect to original colour. Just using paint is probably easier lol
Nice! As far as adding detail to the jumpsuit I've had pretty good luck masking and spraying for one-off pieces and short runs. I wouldn't bother with dye unless you're going for an overall change. For things like those dark stripes, good quality masking tape (the old school 3M beige stuff) and multiple light coats of Krylon can give you results as good as screen printing.
If dye were desired, he could make a batik wax line between two strips of painter's, remove the inside strips, then bleach and or dye the inside the second color. Or sew on a reinforcement in the fabric color of choice. And then there's marker paint, embroidery, and patches for details.
Very well done Sir! I love that you used a material lightweight enough, yet sturdy enough to allow the use of motors to open the suit! Very creative and I cant wait to see what you do next!
For the accenting on the jumpsuit, depending on the material, you could use iron on fabric and do some stitching both for looks and to ensure the fabric stays where you put it.
I was thinking during the first part how cool it would be if someone could make one that actually opened up like in the games. Than you absolutely blew my mind. I'm speechless at the determination and ingenuity of you.
This is a crazy journey I've been following for years now. It's so cool to finally see it finished. I hope to see more incredible builds from you in the future.
to make the armor pieces less flimsy you could maybe make a carbon fiber mold so they are more solid and strong and for the jumpsuit you could maybe have it set up so you can spraypaint on the stuff or sew on the details but its really cool
Set the part of the suit you want faded in a window where sun beats on it all day or just under glass after a few weeks should give you the effect your wanting on that suit. Try a cheap shirt I've done it with an old retro radio flyer shirt looks cool.
this guy is so cool i cannot believe it
I remember when I used to be subscribed to you like 4, 5 years ago. Brings me back
Wait berd has the same taste as me
Berd wants power armor confirmed
BERD!???
What a wacky dude
For $550?!?? Incredible. You sir are an artist and a genius.
Well that 550 is for the latest t60 skin not the entire suit
Probably spent around 900 or so on the suit part of it in the beginning
@@ray16120 That means you made this for about $1600?

also is realistic to the game
personally the tesla one looks super cool but definitely not as convenient to the wearer to remove compared to this
Well, he is also wearing a flight suit... So you're half right
Yeah don't forget to remove the fusion core when you go to the bathroom though so nobody steals it.
imagine walking into the restroom and seeing a power armor parked there
I was like “wow, that’s a pretty cool costume” but I lost my mind when it opened up and he stepped out. The genius.
Can't tell if he's a Paladin or just straight up the Elder for this outstanding work.
Obviously the Elder. Ad Victoriam!
He's father elijah
wouldn't he be more like a knight? paladins are frontline fighters, knights are maintenance personnel

At this pace hes gonna start manufacturing and mass producing these and create his own brotherhood of steel
Now that would be cool
He should name it the brotherhood of plastic and when the feds raid his cult compound, the plastic fails to deflect bullets.
@@maaz322 ??? Jealous or something? What's with this hate?
we are the BROTHERHOOD OF FOAM
It must be jealousy, either that or he's from the Institute

Awesome work man! Loved hearing that your daughter helped you paint it. This is the type of positivity I needed to see today.

It looks like the first Ironman suit when he was in prison and he made this flame blower suit. Great job.
Woah, thats unbelievably badass! The fact that you built the suit in your garage by hand speaks volumes about your talent. Well done!😊
I am in complete awe, this is so cool! Great work brother, Ad Victorium!
for the undersuit sewing some fabric panels on is probably a better bet than dyeing
Agree, dyeing will probably bleed outwards and not create as straight an edge.
A man after my own heart. Brilliant work.
The functionality and underlying mechanics of this suit are genius. A few aesthetic tweaks would take it to a whole other level. Amazing work.
Nice! As far as adding detail to the jumpsuit I've had pretty good luck masking and spraying for one-off pieces and short runs. I wouldn't bother with dye unless you're going for an overall change.

Or sew on a reinforcement in the fabric color of choice.

I reckon use some kind of heat-transfer vinyl like they print t-shirts with. Then you can cut it to shape, place it, and melt it into the fabric.
Congrats! Looks great!
I've been spending about 20 minutes to suit up in my latest cosplay, and you can suit up in about 4 seconds. Hats off to you.
Spray paint and auto interior touch up carpet paint/ink may be the best path on the fade
