hi guys and gals.

i'm currently trying to make some halo 4 hands. i think of sculpting the finger armor, or 3d printing it (when my printer finally arrives )

i have created some templates, and I have photoshopped them together to see how it looks.

feel free to use these for yourself or edit them,
maybe you can make them better, so I can use yours

template for hand and thumb:

paint.net creation

and with quick made handplate:

feel free to suggest some improvements

Is that for Master Chief? Or the Spartan IV armor?

looks awesome!!!!

alright, this is the list of what i'm going to do next.

- first i'm going to do the under armor:
- find the right size
- print in paper to see if it's right
- use the paper as template to cut in leather
- glue and knit the leader to my gloves

- secondly (if my 3d printer eventually arives) i will print out the finger armor
- (i could do this in foam first like ACDCrockr209 has done. to see how it looks)

- and lastly make the hand plate
-i think cnc it in foam and then vacuuform will be the best for this.

I got them from Ebay.

Here's a ink to a pair, but without the blackjack logo on them.

the creatr from leapfrog, it's from holland (neighbour country)
it has a really big surface, and nice design, it looks better than the replicator from makerbot,
i think it has the same extrusion, but a bigger build-surface

Under Armor Update

i have scaled the under armor to my fitting and i think i have the right combination

i printed it out in paper and taped it on my glove:

then i used the paper as a template to cut it out of foam.

but i don't think this is a good idea, so my next step is to cut them out in leather and sew them on

any suggestion for the colors?
i think i will make them cyan just like my mark VI armor. or blue. or ...

after the misfortune

after the foam underarmor i made a board with little haxagons in a plastic sheet:

i also painted a piece of cloth blue:

then i tried to use the plastic sheet as a stamp to make the little blue lines.
thas was a huge mistake, it didn't work...

so now i'm going to focus a little more on the finger armor,
i printed them out in paper and here's the result:

here are all the templates togheter:

next step: make the armor out of foam.
make the under armor, i think i will get a piece of darkblue cloth, iron the hexagons on with some t-shirt stickers (i will explain in next post ) and sew them on the gloves.

photobucket is being a bitch, for more pictures, folow the link: http://s394.photobucket.com/albums/pp23/kakjoe/halo 4 hand/

These gloves look like they are real skin-tight... what brand of gloves did you use?

I searched good ol' Google for a bit and found black nitril gloves... Would those be any good? :cool

Looks very cool, what machine do you use for the Hexagons? looks like some sort of CNC-milling machine...
Good luck with the rest of your glove build!

my gloves are running gloves, very thin and warm, from decathlon (a sports supermarket) i think the fabric is lycra
nitril gloves are like a balloon, you can't sew on them, so i don't think those will be good, but you can always try

thanks for the comments guys, i really appreciate it

yay 405th is back online, and i have a lot of progress to post

i can't post all the pics, but here's the link to my photobucket with all the glorious pics: http://s394.photobucket.com/albums/pp23/kakjoe/halo 4 hand/

step 1, the under armor:
with a cnc plotter i made a lot of haxagons on t-shirt plastic (the kind you have to iron on a shirt) and ironed that on a dark blue sheet of lycra.

then i cutted it out with the templates
and glued them on my gloves (there is a lot of glue, i know )

pic time 1:

step 2, the finger armor

i made them out of foam, just like ACDCRockr did, but i didn't make the fingertips yet because those will need to be in hard plastic so i can go around my finger.

then i also glued them on.

final result:
