Hi, all!
Name's Ashley, I'm fresh onto the website, very long time lurker on this thread. After I saw the movie, I wanted one of the WCKD uniforms. Of course, I kinda just figured I'd never have it, just because I figured I'd have to have someone else make it, which costed money that I didn't have. However, after a lot of time and research, I've got more of an idea as to how cosplay works. I haven't done anything yet besides some basic foam weapons, but I'm definitely getting more into it. My primary reason for creating an account is the ideas of creating a squad to show up at conventions with, which would be tons of fun.
That does, however, bring me into my main point. I'm putting together an airsoft team, and we want the 'faceless, anonymous, stormtrooper-y' look. While we were originally going to do a veil, I got brought back to this mask. It's not gonna be a whole WCKD soldier team, unfortunately, but the mask is my main point. I have some limited experience with CAD software, electrical engineering, and basic stuff to create a pretty techy mask. So, my concept, if I can make it work, is to have the mesh be a solid plate, then basically turn the thing into a set of very basic FPV goggles with nano displays on the inside, and a small camera built into the faceplate. The 3D model files above have literally saved me a ton of work. Originally the idea was to just keep it within the team, but I feel like you guys would get some spectacular use out of it.
Honestly just wondering if people would be interested in the product if I could get it to work, so that I can keep y'all posted on updates as I work on it, so that I could send out a collection of my model, just to help people out.
Just as a quick note, first ever forum post on any forum, so please be kind!
As a side note, for those looking for the knife, just about any tanto-style combat knives will work perfectly. It may not be the exact same knife, but it could've been a custom set piece. I just watched Death Cure again (With many tears), and the hilt almost makes it look like a kitchen knife, so I'm not really sure, though I do know the blade style.
