Second Launcher

Finished constructing the second launcher and missile.
Providing tomorrow will have decent weather, I will spray paint the missiles chrome metallic and do a minor white touch-up on the launchers.

Missile Launcher #1

Finished constructing Missile Launcher #1 today.
PVC glue smells bad but works awesome.
Amazing how creative one can get with just PVC pipe connections and a few pieces of vinyl siding. 
It also helps to have the right tools, such as band saw, belt sander, drill and bits, etc.
The funnels worked perfect for the missile with a few trimming.
Will probably leave the launcher white and spray the missile a metallic chrome.

 

 

  

   

Modify Leg Fenders Fsteners

Came up with new idea for strapping leg fenders to my shins. 
The previous concept with the foam cushions and nylon straps was too tight and didn't hold in place when walking around.
Found some used baseball catchers leg guards real cheap for $9 at a Play It Again Sports outlet store. 
Going to affix the leg guards directly to the fender plastic inside, which will have a secure and comfortable fit.  
I will have to come up with a different procedure to fasten leg fenders when it comes time to suit-up, rather than screwing together the fender in place around my leg.

 

Missile Launcher Mounts

This Transformers Prowl costume wouldn't be complete if I left out the missile launchers. 
The mount bracket is two flat vinyl boards glued together and then attached to PVC fixture from back-pack harness.
Found the missile launcher mounts at Lowe's at a discount, they are PVC deck railing brackets from a mismatched opened package.
The launchers themselves with missiles will be easy to make from PVC and vinyl pieces.  
The missiles will not fire of course, just for looks, but would be cool if did like a Nerf gun or something.
I found some cheap plastic funnels in various sizes at Harbor Freight that I will use for the missile cone-tips.

  

Hands

Going to use a pair of black mechanic work gloves for hands with some white plastic pieces glued on.
The plastic from storage bins wouldn't bend the way I wanted it to, kept cracking wrong or snaping off when trying to bend 90°  .
I found some cheap ice-cube trays at .99 cent store to use for finger covers and glue-gun them onto gloves.
 

Decals

Received the decals I ordered in the mail on Friday.
Thank you FastDecals.com
A total of six Autobot insignias in red: four at 2 inches wide and two at 3 inches wide.
The 2 inch ones will go on shoulders and lower fenders.
One single 3 inch will go on center hood.
The lettering for "HIGHWAY PATROL" and "POLICE" in pairs will go on doors.
I will custom print the star shield myself with decal sheet and home PC printer.
