Quora v3 and N01 program

Well our first con with a booth went great! We have pics up on our facebook of all our costumes, but i was really excited that we got to show off our latest Tron costumes. The v3 Quorra has to have been the most complex piece I have done to date, with countless solder joints and wiring. And of course, one of the two joints that came from the factory failed. But besides that set back it was great! Now i needed a costume to go with Jackies, so i decided instead of doing something from the movie, I would create my own Tron style character,N01. Simple El jacket and a helmet with sound responsive El in the grill. Both were a huge hit at the geek prom.

Sadly I didn't get many pics of this build. This was made for a local customer. The Quorra light design had to be changed a bit because light tape as very little flexibly side to side. I think for the most part we got the look down. This piece runs off of 3 9volt's. It was also a successful test of my vac formed disk mount/hub.

Sanding. Sanding sanding sanding. SANDING! So that's what i have been doing. And guess what? I still have to do. More. I will do my best not to warp the damn card stock ever again.

Well this has been a pain in the ass. My wife did a wonderful job on the pep build (file from prop zone I believe) and in the process of adding the resin, bondo and fiberglass I managed to warp the face a bit. So now I am going to have to add more bondo and reshape the cheak area. I'll post some progress epics in a day or so.

Daft Punk 'd TRON EL jackets

Sorry for the super long time in between posts. We have been slaving away on Tron jackets for the group Daft Punk 'd. I designed and built all of the light panels. The jackets were supplied by Daft Punk 'd. I used A4 sized EL sheets that were cut and spliced together to create the different shapes.  One jacket can be run off of either 4 9volt batteries or plugged into a wall unit.
