I'm wondering if you considered making some small buildings after you're done with the suit so you go stomping through a city for the end of the series. It would fun to see something like that.

[@OdinMakes]

I have talked about it- and there is a local gaming sop that has old 40k terrain...

[@TheMichigami]

just stencil some windows onto some empty cereal boxes and old styrofoam blocks and such, much more fun to kick around and recyclable.

I like entire suit builds that span across several videos like the Gundam and now Mechagodzilla.

I thought people would see that! It's may Patreon members Discord. Great bunch of people, they seriously support the show by allowing me to keep my workspace!

We've been snowed in this week, so a new update to this build was a real day-maker. I never thought about how the hands must work, but it does make way more sense for the actor holding onto totally static hands instead of them just having to keep their hands straight inside some kind of rigid glove!

Love your work, would love to see you tackle the gunblade from Final Fantasy.

[@HakuginSan]

I'm loving how excited you are making each part for this. It's one thing to just build something, its another to enjoy the building process. For the elbows, the recommendation I have would be to look into blacksmith's bellows. Keep up the amazing work!

Just looking at the torso on your bust, this project would also make a great basis for a a duke harkonin from Dune

I'm sure someone else has already said this, but if you sew each arm piece together before top-stitching them, that could make it much easier! I'm loving watching this project!

Another fantastic video. I’ve been excited all morning for this to come out. Also I like how you ended with the elbow issue. That’s something I enjoy about your videos - you’re not afraid to show when you hit a brick wall or get stumped for a moment with an issue. Keep up the fantastic and inspirational work!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you G.I. Joe review! Learning from what went wrong is one of the major things to do with making. If I can share it, and save you guys money from lost materials and avoid the issue- win win!

[@peeber405]

I found your channel a while ago when youtube threw that first Mechagodzilla video in my suggestions, and now I'm hooked! The original Mechagodzilla is one of my favorite designs ever and you're doing such a KICKASS job at making this costume!! Cannot wait until it's fully complete!!!

You know it would be really cool to see you become like an official costume designer because if this is what you can do with just some foam and some glue (I know this is an understatement but it still stands true) then imagine what you can do with better materials and a much higher budget, like people should really pay you for this. For a KZbin channel you’re extremely talented. Sorry for this random praise but like seriously you impress me with every video lol

What about making a smaller elbow pit piece and bulking up the elbow with more layers sewn to expand and contract with movement?

[@georgecrosby9313]

Odin this project is absolutely incredible!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you!

[@stuchly1]

So awesome to see another episode! You did so great on the sewing, what a shame the elbows didn't work out. I know you're going to figure it out though, it's really starting to come together!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you Petr- I already have an idea on how to rework the elbows. And if that fails, I can get more vinyl. World Class Textiles had 2 rolls of it. And I am going to need it- I have hips and knees to do too!

[@detlefp.9530]

Thank you for pronouncing my name right. My own Father in law from Texas cant even do that 😁

[@OdinMakes]

REALLY?? Wow- I was really afraid I would butcher it! You are very welcome, and thank you!

[@CMonster0125]

I made a 50's era robot costume in college and had the exact same issue with the elbows (and knees). A fellow student came up with a great solution. Make non-symmetrical width rings (so they open wider on the outside of the elbow and thinner on the inside). You know if you've done it right if they don't lay flat but lean to one side. It took several tries (and a lot of cardboard prototypes) until I got it working. I used metal wires to keep the circles from collapsing unevenly.

[@OdinMakes]

I was considering wire loops inside of fabric when I thought I would be using stretch fabric. I skipped the wire as the vinyl is stiff enough to hold it's shape. But it's also too stiff to allow really small section to move under the foot of the sewing machine. It's the things you run into when making stuff out of the ordinary.

[@tylersoutham6654]

For the elbows: make a big circle, then a smaller circle that is offset for your arm to go through. This will give you more length on the back of the elbow but not too much "bunching" in the front.

[@OdinMakes]

Pretty much my plan- Thank you!

[@tk9950]

On the elbow bellows, make the center hole close to one edge and you will have more room to bend the elbow. Centered holes bend equally in all directions.
