I have completed the most complex and large custom project. A lot of work was done before the project was completely finished🦾
I am happy to see when it all works as it should😇.
Part 1.
Most of the time was spent on developing and thinking through a reliable fastening system. The wingspan is 2 meters 35 centimeters. These are really huge wings, even testing and shooting them in full size was difficult. For transportation and use, we made a completely collapsible structure.
The feathers are removable, equipped with a secure mount and power connectors. The main load is borne by the guides to which the feathers are attached, they are also removable. Wiring, connectors and internals, connection points are hidden by a removable outer casing.
The "wing flap" is a large decorative element at the top of the wing, it was the main conundrum of how to make a secure mount without changing the appearance of this element. This was one of the most difficult tasks that I faced during my entire work as a foreman. We must not forget that we need to save weight, this is a difficult task, we need to create a reliable, strong structure that can withstand heavy loads and weight, the elements themselves are large, and at the same time remain as light and strong as possible. Therefore, the main material was PVC plastic (This is completely handmade, there are no 3D printed elements), it has sufficient strength, and, unlike evafoam, allows you to create clear edges. However, I used evafoam here in the same way, but in smaller quantities.
We did a lot of testing before making sure that the design is reliable, repeated dismantling and installation of feathers, testing during two days of filming, will allow us to ensure that these wings will survive the visit of the comicon and breaking through the crowd with them😅
