I was going to post this when I was at least finished with the boot but I do have some help making this thing.

I am planing on using pep files to use as templates for the torso because I want it to be as accurate as possible. I'm thinking of scrapping the boot part and making it slightly bigger so that the shin movies with little restriction.

But for now here is the right boot almost completed.

It is pretty big as you can see.

Awesome work ,Im doing mine a similar fashion and I have a few questions how are you going to wear the boot when finish,are you going to cut a hole for a shoe or leaving it as is.

i am currently making almost the same thing, the ankle is hinged so a shoe can put in or taking out at anytime without too much difficulty

Omg! You lucky son of a gun. I just had to skip this years Comic Con. :/

Oh and on the boot, I dont really have anything in mind. I want to try to make it as mobile as possible but I think I will wait to see what you guys come up with.

Update time!

So I managed to unfold Marcus' Torso (or at least the breastplate) made by Jakkrit in his thread. I had finished unfolding it like 3 or 5 days ago. The only reason Ididint posit was because 1: It isnt a full unfold and 2: Its is both my first unfold and isn't very good. But hey, it gets the job done.

Here is the file if anyone wants it.

Ok,so here is the torso so far. I used the Marcus' pep as templates.

i absolutly love Gears of War, but i never understood why their boots are so massive, idk if its a model issue or if something went wrong when the dropped it into the game engine, i personially have worked in the same game enigine and know its a pain in the boot transfering models..... i know that was off topic but i'ce wanted to see is any1 else noticed that?

I'm pretty sure they purposely make the entire figures bigger and out of realistic proportions. It's supposed to aid the "epicness" of the game.
