I love this. Great modeling so far, too. I wonder if it would be possible to deviate from 3D printing and utilize some carbon fiber? If the main concern is weight (and especially weight long reaches, like at the tip of a barrel, which definitely makes the weight feel exaggerated lol) carbon...

This looks lovely. Amazing work.

There’s a bunch of great tutorials from Blender Guru on Youtube. I wish there were better ways to learn than just watching a bunch of videos, and generally sinking the time to learn but the first step is usually to just get out there. Get comfortable modelling stuff, and go one small project at...

Super interested in participating in this project/party. HotPockets, Ive got a fresh gallon unit of mold star 30 that’s just sitting in my basement that i can toss in to the party if it helps. I’m willing to help in other ways, too. Just lmk. And my vote is Anubis

Quality craftsmanship, very professional! Great work and thanks for the tut!

Here's where the bucket is at. It's completely detailed now. It's not perfect but it looks nice to me; I'm very happy with it. There are some things I will be doing to it to get it ready for 3D printing. That is - I have to make holes so that I can thread straps or paracord between the plates. I...

Got bored of working on the helmet today so I worked on some shoulder pads! the top is a cleaned-up/simplified version of the original model for foam unfolds and such. Bottom is smoothed and detailed for 3D printing. Neither are perfect but I'm happy with 'em. I'll post these at some point too...

So I ended up changing up some stuff. My original intention was to just print the back skirt thing in one piece and model the details like so: Very tedious. But then I was like "wait a minute, aren't samurai helmets traditionally woven together or something?" So i think I might've been...

More model progress. I find myself doing a lot of passes, modeling things and calling them good, then going back and remodeling them because it looks weird later on. :p But all in all, I'm really happy with where it's headed. Loooots more detail to add but the bulk of the modeling is going...

Oh snap! I forgot about that thing! Hope you do some cool stuff with it! Looking good so far!

Your cosplay repair kit is not unlike an old grandma's purse. Everything's there in the event that you might need it. I'm honestly pretty impressed!

Wow a ton of work done to fill in the black series helmet. It was nice to begin with, I'm sure it'll look nice all shiny and new. Epoxy putty is the stuff!

I don't know if this is blessed or cursed...it's pretty cool either way! The logo for eyes are hilarious.

Apartment-style seems like a challenge! Foam work is solid, reach gauntlets are notoriously difficult, haha.

So here's where we're at. Slowly chipping away at the helmet. Much of the detail is yet to be added so stay tuned for that. Hopefully I'll have more time to finish up the bulk of this model over the weekend. Thanks for looking and I'll see you next time.
