The Dh Project #748

Dh748 · Sep 1, 2011

EDIT:
Progress is ongoing and steady updates. I need advice on how some of these are scaled! offer please.

I did a lowdef helmet cuz my last ODST got smashed in a move so i wanted to get one back quickly, but after inspection i noticed it was missing key details.

IMG00299-20110822-1633

IMG00300-20110822-1633

So I had an Idea; to splice on the details from another model, this way I get the ones I want without having to commit to a fully high def model

IMG00301-20110822-1633

IMG00302-20110822-1634

I think it went in nicely

IMG00305-20110822-1648

Then this was the progress with the torso

IMG00310-20110825-1904

IMG00326-20110829-2149
And the little detail I was proud of doing XD

IMG00327-20110830-1637

This was when the torso didnt have the back finished so dont get excited just yet

IMG00325-20110829-2004

And this is it done, now it IS a little big. I lost my master scaling skills in a year

IMG00329-20110901-2034

So i wanted to cut the sides and bring them in so they dont stick out so much, and trim a little off the shoulders for better mobility. Possible?

Looks good so far, I like how you made a low-res helmet but added certain hi-res details on it.

Dh748 · Sep 6, 2011

well, im not popular

oh well XD

Redid the torso at scale about 2 inches shorter on the sides, its pepped and getting fiber glassed. I'll put up pics when its done.

I've noticed this as well, there has been a bit of a decline with responses to WIPs. The same thing has happened to my build (granted I haven't had an update for a while) but after over 350 views, there were only 4 responses.

Beyond that, your pepping skills are great. I personally would have started over on the ODST helmet and wasted a ton of time rather than what you did and incorporate HD portions that you need. Good thinking. Can't wait to see more pics.

Your not alone there, I don't receive a large amount of replies like others, and right now my wip is up to three posts in a row >.< The helmet looks really nice, especially with added details.

Almost there I'm fiberglassing the chest piece, but i'm in all honors classes so im lucky if I can work on it a hour a night I'll edit later with what I have so far. I suppose Ill start scaling and pepping some other pieces

OK well here are some pics,

My awesome work station XD

IMG00346-20110907-1723

Oh and I didn't tell much of anyone But I had To rescale My chest piece So to celebrate it actually fitting now. . . Here are some details of the old one (which I might sell now)

IMG00343-20110907-1722

IMG00345-20110907-1722

And a trouble area

IMG00344-20110907-1722

The only thing is I tried to modify the sides to fit better, But im gonna end up reprinting out those pieces and repep 'em onto the piece.

IMG00342-20110907-1722

And the actual progress

IMG00341-20110907-1721

If anyone wonders why it looks like that. . . I use aqua resin.

IMG00340-20110907-1721

I don't like double posting, so im doin this. Chest is all fiberglassed and the resin is sanded down some. I'm goin to wall mart tomorrow for foam, and a couple other things. Expect a bunch of updates SOON!

Dh748 · Sep 10, 2011

Update!!

Chest is actually almost done being bondo'ed,

IMG00350-20110910-1429

IMG00349-20110910-1429

IMG00348-20110910-1428 b

IMG00347-20110910-1428y

If you notice the bondo is coming up in some places, Im gonna just superglue it down. still haven't gone to walmart though, I'll probably do that tomorrow. Bondoing is SOO much easier this time around. Experience right?

killtality · Sep 10, 2011

What chest model did you use? Can i get a link to it?

The chest file he used should be in the Halo Reach file thread, along with almost everything else.

Great work though! The chest looks great. Your limited to like an hour a day and doing a lot more work then I am. Although I'm lazy when it comes to chemicals and cutting.

Dh748 · Sep 10, 2011

I'm gonna edit My first post with the modelers files and peoples who's techniques I've used.

@mitch35542

Dh748 · Sep 11, 2011

I have progress!! I got the chest piece split then realized my fiberglass in those area's did not fully go down.

-_- *sigh* So i'm workin on getting those places supported and others. I'm haulin A$$ tonight I want to get it done and detailed, Stay tuned for pics later tonight.

EDIT

Well I didn't get everything done I wanted to, but I got damn close.

I've been working on the bicep pieces last week.

I left out the couple details in the left bicep cuz I either dont like 'em or since im gonna pep some add-ons you wont see them anyway.

then my dogs got in to a BIG fight 10 lb Papillon Vs 30 lb cocker spaniel (despite what they say sometimes size DOES matter) and messed up my thumb.

Dh748 · Jun 16, 2012

Double posting so this will show up for updates....

I haven't been NOT working. Just not as much. Summer's here And I don't have a job! so let the updates finally commence!

I gotta couple helmets going on...See?

IMG01183-20120616-2307

The odst is coming along alright. Obviously still missing some key details but I'm starting to work them in there!

IMG01184-20120616-2307

The front of the chest is almost done, only a couple things, but mostly its just fine tuning some sanding to make it extra nice! Its SOO Smooth on the top... XD

IMG01190-20120616-2308

This bit was sticking up way too high, so I cut it off, and i'm gonna bondo that bit in.

IMG01191-20120616-2308

This is the only other part I have to work on. Not sure how I'm gonna get those details in this!

IMG01191-20120616-2308

The back i started on a bit ago, just never did too much to.

IMG01188-20120616-2308

Just kinda showing off, I got it a lil heavy. I weighed it in at 10 pounds! (just the back) But im gonna cut that side off and strap it to the back and get some clips for the front. That way I won't have to worry about the two lining up. Also make for easy storage

IMG01189-20120616-2308

The bicep-ish piece. The other is at that point too, just needs a lil love!

IMG01185-20120616-2307

I found some files, and am gonna start on them Soon, Arms should be pepped by wednesday, pelvis saturday, legs i'll give a couple weeks eh?

Dh748 · Jun 18, 2012

Progress WAS ongoing. I did this

IMG01202-20120617-2303

IMG01201-20120617-2303

IMG01205-20120618-1205

IMG01206-20120618-1238

But as you can see, the side was so warped, I just trashed it. It was ok, only about 6 hours of work to finish one. So I edited the unfold a bit and am giving it another go.

IMG01207-20120618-1238

I'll show it later tonight.

EDIT (Could someone comment so I don't feel like a loser while quadruple posting?)

Got The new arm done, MUCH better. Comparison much? (pics came out bad this time
