Well with the main part of the chest piece done I decided it was time to start on the front plate of the chest piece I was originally going to create an exact replica of the original ones for this project but looking at how many different ones there were plus the ones from the palisades reissues
I decided to make a combined version of the ones I liked the best.
So I began construction on the plate as far as I was able till I came up with the perfect design.
Well with this in the design phase I decided to make some progress with the feet, I remembered these being quite simple but looking at some pics of them they were not as simple as I remembered.
ok well not so bad but it will still be a bit of a challenge to construct these. I had originally intended to make this as a mego doll, but working on some stop motion puppet kit ideas and other parts for that idea I had considered turning the Micronaut into one of these to help show off the kits. I eventually settled on the notion of doing both versions of this since I had to cast the body in clear resin anyway
and looking at the pics there is no left or right foot at this point I would like to thank Starroid Raiders Dagon from the Mego Museum forum for his help with the pics and drawing of the feet which has been a great help.
Will with this in hand I can begin to work on the feet more posts soon on the progress.
