    You got to be kidding me! I just uploaded a video on how to make a mannequin by myself and 5 seconds later I realize that one of my favorite youtubers did the exact same thing... I really like your approach! I especially love your idea on making the arms adjustable by using screwable PVC connectors - It really is a challenge to make the arms carry all this weight without loosing ther pose. Thank you for the many new ideas!

    As an alternative to using the green foam, you could buy a morph suit and stuff it with poly-fil to get the necessary muscles. If you want direct access to the joints for swapping out parts, you could just cut the morph suit open and glue it down to the PVC on each side of the joint.

    Pretty slick trick using the unions to make the adjustable joints. The hands are great,maybe adding some rubber hose (think garden hose) sections to the fingers might "flesh" them out a bit as they look flat to me.

    Great Vid! I'm actually building something similar. I found a site that sells PVC mannequins w/articulating joints, but the weight of the armor/gear was too much, and ended up building the lower torso/legs from threaded 1/2" steel pipe. This also negated the need for a torso brace as the legs are bolted to the base with standard 1/2" pipe flanges. I also used pool noodles & foam from the upholstery outlet for the musculature. It's still a work in progress, but ALOT of fun :)

All the praise for making this armor, it is incredible!! :D Also, you could use expanding foam(they are mostly cheap and you can get a fair amount out of one spay can) to build up the skeleton. Only downside would be that you cant change it later as it will stick to PVC...
