I started this project by carving a block of wood into a rough bean shape. I then made large divots for where the arms and legs attach to the diver. I then made arms and legs with electrical conduit and wooden beads. For the face windows I used washers. I glued everything together and then painted it.

This is based of a modern deep sea diving suit. It would be a large metal hull with movable arms and legs that a man could fit inside and control. It was difficult to glue all of the appendages together, while also making sure that the diver would stand up. After I did that, I painted the diver in a likely color pattern. I then added small details that would likely be on a real modern deep sea diving suit.
