I'm assuming the time frame involved a lot of research and learning new skills to implement the design.
Regardless, the accomplishment of this alone would surely be enough to land the guy a job in the costume department for a special effects company. I've seen much worse work on huge budget movies, if a guy can do this in his free time with his spare cash he should definitely get a hire somewhere.

- pavel_lishin 16y agoI saw the stills on his blog - it looks like he does this sort of thing on a regular basis. I'd wager that learning how to create the electronics took the longest in terms of learning new skills.
- vollmond 16y agoAccording to one of his comments on OP's Youtube link, he also interspersed work on 15 other projects while he was working on this. Would be interesting to know the actual amount of time spent on it.
- electromagnetic 16y agoFor a pro who knew everything on how to do this, I would likely expect little over a week of man-hour work. However the guy looks like he had a great grasp on the modeling aspect, but not so much on the electronics, so I wouldn't be surprised if he spent equivalent of about two-man-hour work weeks on this. For someone like me, it would likely take the full 17 months to produce something like this purely for the modeling portion. I'm actually adept at electronics, but I wouldn't be able to model something like that to save my life.
