More from wolfboy1
Well for all of those who have been following up on my various journals this is the culmination of 5 years (planning mostly - 7 months actual construction) of my fursuit. This is of course Cryo Cyberwolf from the pictures on my gallery. Debuted him at AC 09 and from my take everyone seemed to like him. The Security there didnt even bother to peacebond my gun. I like to think they were so awed by the suit. Several of them came up to me and said they thought it was really neat. Anyway, here you have it.
Comments wanted.

Have you seen this guy's suit yet? http://www.furaffinity.net/user/bryagh/ He makes a nice suit too. He likes your suit as well. ^\/^.
*Two /b/ tards come with "yiff in hell" banners* *Cryo Cyberwolf appears*... "IT'S GO TIME!" XD
You know, I've been spending five months on designing a fully bullet proof, hydraulic shock proof, fire proof and stabbing proof suit by using different type of materials such as Kevlar taken directly from the black market and police auctions, ballistic foam (an invention of mine to absorb the hydraulic shock cause be the bullet and/or any other impact) which goes under the ceramic discs dipped in epoxy which are then placed like "scales" then linked and put in sandwich between two layers of thin rubber with silicone to stick the whole thing together in a thigh, yet, flexible fashion. Then all this is put under a carbon fiber shell, which gives the armor an awesome look. The armor is divided in multiple pieces so you can remove and replace any damaged parts of it then clip back the new plates in place.
I’ve already started to build the chest piece. The worst part will be the helmet. I made some blueprints, but it’ll be one heck of a challenge. But what the hell, who gives a damn anyway, when people talks about armor suits, I get carried away.
I know your intentions weren’t to protect yourself from I.E.Ds and shotguns, but what materials did you use to build it? From here it looks like a synthetic tissue with some foam under it to puff it up a bit and a plastic/cardboard frame underneath it to keep the whole shape in place…am I right?

OK...seriously...did you really start to make your stuff as you describe because dude..for one it would be really heavy and two..awesome! If so I need you to do my next suit lol.
Also your right it wasn't to protect me from I.E.D's or any type of firearms (when I can survive a tank shell though I will consider it complete).
The way the thing was made was actually quite simple really. The armor peices are made from foam. Nitrogen based foam that museums use to ship their artifacts in. This provides both durability and low weight. It is pretty hard to break under normal conditions (sadly I don't think bullets count as normal) and is really light so it doesn't weigh me down. It was just sculpted based on my measurements and designs. No plastic/cardboard and no tissue. The shiny-ness is merely a metallic lycra stretched over the foam.
As for the yiff in hell banner holders...I hope they have thermal underwear because the freeze ray im packing is going to make their stay here quite frigid. I assume the other furs will stop and comment on the lifelike ice sculptures. Who knows maybe I will win a prize.

If you want a cheap, light and very solid foam, go at your local hardware store and get yourself a tube of isolating foam (the one that you inject into walls and that expands to become hard as rock). Make yourself an empty wooden box with a hole in it with easy to remove walls, then inject some of the expanding foam inside it. Once it's dry, open the box, remove the foam and cut all the shapes and pieces you need!
Insolent foam is what I use to absorb bullet impacts. Only thing I add to it is a steel net inside it to keep the whole thing together if it has to break. It might be silly, but to test it out, I taped a 1/2" tick block on my belly and asked my friend to hit me with a full swing with my wooden baseball bat. I didn't even flinch!
And for the records, that thing ain't as heavy as you might think, The first layer (from inside to outside) is a 100% cotton black shirt, second is the insolent foam, next is the Kevlar, then the scales made with epoxy covered ceramic discs, then the carbon fiber shell.
The cotton shirt, foam, Kevlar and carbon fiber are very light, he only thing that adds to the weight are the ceramic discs. The Kevlar can stop a slug alone, but added protection is always useful. Note that only the helmet and torso/abdomen has extra ceramic protection... they're the most important part of your body after all. Only down part is that I haven’t found a way to adjust the whole thing (making me the only one who’ll be able to wear it) and that putting this thing on will be pretty awkward.
I got the idea of building this thing from a guy named “Troy Hurtubise” , he’s the one who created a suit capable of withstand a grizzly bear attack. And one year ago he created a ballistic suit. I watched all his video showing how he managed to put this entire thing together, and even if he didn’t named all of the suit’s materials, with my sharp eye, I managed to recognize them. So obviously, some of the credits go to this guy. But the ceramic discs dipped in epoxy were all my idea. Not to mention that the armor won’t look the same either, the design will be completely different.
(Btw, did you know I know that real “ice throwers” REALLY exists? They use pressurized liquid nitrogen in tanks that you put on your back! )

....ITS YOU!!!!!! FOUND YOU! I have to go back through my AC'09 pics and find you again! Was a HUGE pleasure to meet you / get your pic... AND....
One of the folks that met you was Aaron from SecondLife - he was SO nervous to meet you, didn't want to be a nusance... but we convinced him to go say HI to you and that meeting REALLY opened him up to everyone else!
So, on his behalf; THANK YOU, BOSS!!
