Lots of other preparation is in the works for our first Maker Faire booth coming up in September here in the North Bay. The MK 42 Team is getting pumped up for this project!

Boot Shoe Model
I was able to spend a few hours a day the last few days creating the boot portion! I will still have to add more inner workings to it as I build the heel, calf, and shin plates in next week! Ah, its looking gorgeous already :)

New Model
This past couple weeks the majority of us have been on vacation! I just got back from my vacation and started on the second version of the boot, as I have really improved my modeling ability for hard surfaces. Here is the toe with some added paint material and dramatic lighting :)
Thanks for being patient, we are all either busy with finals or were on vacation and very soon I will be printing out a newer version of the boot, then the gauntlet and the helmet after that. Perhaps we will see you at our booth for the Maker Faire in Greenbrae! http://makerfairegreenbrae.com/

| I like this angle the best because you can see the three colors with their various paint layers. |

Update!
Its time for an update!
Project MK 42 Prototype has a team of variously talented people now collaborating on this project. Matthew B. as electronics engineering, Derek P. as IT tech, Joost D as 3D modeler for the suit exterior, Kevin M. for software design, Jason C. as research and development, and a possible tech help with CNC Aluminum routing!
We have applied to have a booth in September at the Greenbrae Mini Maker Fair for the project! I met with the producer of the event and am inviting other tech companies to joint in. We may be using the CNC machine to a create larger 3D printer this month.
Even though I haven't 3D printed many more parts, these are huge advancements for the Project!
Here are a couple parts I have created a 3D mechanical device for recently. They work together to lock the boot closed. Also, Joost has completed mostly all the exterior armor in 3D and ready for me to design and build the joints and inner skeletal of the suit.
