The Expanse "Drummers ExoSkeleton"

[PropsToHistory]

So im trying to identify any of the parts used to make the Exo Skeleton worn by the character Drummer (Cara Gee) towards the end of season 3. I dont know how much of its found parts and how much is custom. Im hoping the Steely-Eyed individuals here could help out. There arent a whole lot of good screen captures that I could get. Maybe someone has some

better reference for it.

That I don't have any info or insight into... But there is an Expanse costuming group on Facebook. They may have more info / resources / steely eyes.

I've been enjoying your YouTube vids, BTW.

Thank you, and also, thank you! Fridays is not prop related, I restore and weather a 1950s model of a 20 mule borax team with modern weathering techniques. My mangalore grenade video is taking alot longer now that I'm making it from metal.

Tested/Adam Savage just released an interview with Expanse prop master Jim Murray that includes discussion of the exoskeleton:

thanks to some concept art, screen shots and some info from suit x I started work on the exoskeleton. Still waiting on some bearings before I begin the frame, for now, subassemblies

 

[PropsToHistory]

Most of the power pack is done, I've cut out and shaped the fenders, still working on the attachment points. Bearings showed up today so I'll get the legs started this afternoon. I've had to take some liberties with some details.

Looking good! Any updates? What buckles are you using for the topmost band?

Yes, sorry I didn't have alerts turned on for this thread. The entire skeleton is completed. as least the mechanical side if it. It's a pile if parts covered in primer so it diesnt look like much right now. 20 separate ball bearings to make run smooth. I will have it done by next Sunday, as I have to ship it monday :/
