The Great VOR Restoration Project: Ares Assault Suit Conversion



Pictured above is the stock pose for a Ares-Class Heavy Assault Suit for the North American Union. The pose is physically intimidating, with the large size and clenched fists, but I wanted to spice it up a bit.

In the old Vor Union Forcebook, there was a guide to do a conversion by positioning the Ares' foot on a rock while turning the torso slightly, to give it a more dynamic look. I am attempting to do that with this project.



Above is the proposed cut to the leg joints. It should be a relatively easy conversion, since the legs are designed to have a ribbed rubber-looking material covering the joints. A little bit of greenstuff and I should be good to go.



... So, I began cutting up my extra suit. Here, you can see that I successfully cut free the thigh and knee, and am working on positioning the pieces before I can secure them for the greenstuff application. I'll post updates as I get more accomplished.

But for now... dinner.
