Savvy, out

Yeah when I'm done not only will this be molded into a most Large costume, but it will look great next to "Stevie" my Halo Statue

Hey Streeper, im always willing to help, but I can only do it in Letter and PD3. Hope thats not an issue. Im starting on the right arm and was thinking about "flipping" it for the left. Before i did that i wanted to see if you thought that would effect your "reconstuction". Just let me know what you think and I'll do both separably if its a problem.

Should be fine, and I own pep 3 as well but I try to release in pep 2 for those people who don't have pep 3, so that's not a big deal either. This is gonna be epic

Wow this looks fun

Maj Pain · Aug 6, 2009

Hey Ben, Im almost done. Just give me another 24hr and I should have all done. Here is what I have so far just in case I don't get to it as expected.

Just some updates on whats going on so far.

Started peping today.

Maj Pain · Aug 9, 2009

Wow, that thing is going to be crazy! Keep the good work and I'll get the rest of the unfold to you soon.

Grim Killer · Aug 9, 2009

gez Ben, your fast on that stuff, like how fast you did the odst helmet.

Maj Pain · Aug 9, 2009

Here is the right leg. Sorry about the shin, but I couldn't separate it in pep. It probably has to be done in a 3d program. Maybe you can play with it. I'll try to get to the other arm and leg (flipping them) as soon as I can, but it may be a little longer. We've started our football training camp so a lot of my free time is tied up now. Can't wait to see how all this turns out.

Glassing starts in the a.m.

Robbymrodriguez · Aug 10, 2009

Heh, epic. Going to glass and bondo it? Are you going to carve in the scales(are they scales?)? What all do you plan to do to this thing?

BenStreeper · Aug 10, 2009

going to glass and bondo to smooth. Then I plan on some major clay work to get the "Life" detail. Skin folds/scales, eyes, eyelids. teeth, etc. It's gonna be a lont project but I need something going on in the backround to keep busy in between other projects. The process would be similar to making a predator head I guess. All the way down to the animatronics I plan to add.

Robbymrodriguez · Aug 11, 2009

You could get some sort of motion/distance sensor going and make it "snap" at people when they walk nearby! Do you have an experience with animatronics?

BenStreeper · Aug 11, 2009

I have a little exp. with animatronics. But Joe is also getting me some help .

rundown · Aug 11, 2009

cant wait how this turns out. Nice file to.

BenStreeper · Aug 11, 2009

Needs a lot of good, cheap clay. Pref. in the beaumont, port-arthur, orange area so I don't get killed on shipping.

Joe??? any suggestions

BenStreeper · Aug 12, 2009

Started "Skinning" process today. This will probably take several weeks to complete, as I am using a very slow going plaster method. But I will try and make myself take pictures.
