Also I got to get my finished bolt pistol today. I will take better pics later but I just wanted to show this off. My dad is awesome for helping me with this.

 

[Nessy]

Wow, I don't check in for a few days and all of a sudden the suit is half finished (with pictures no less) and the bolter is eagerly awaiting paint. Well done, everything looks great.

Also, thanks for the tutorial on how you did your shoulder strapping, I aggree that there are not enough strapping tutorials on the forums.

I did promise some better pics, so just for fun and some reference pics for size.

I got my back pack attached tonight!!!!
Dont be too judgmental on the paint job, as I said before I ran out of paint so it will be the weekend before I get some more, I just wanted to show off how it looks.

My wife, who took the pics, says it looks pretty eve and symmetrical, looking at the pics I believe so too.
Here is a view of how I attached the pack from the inside.

I might have overdone it with the bolts but I wanted to make sure that it wasnt going anywhere.

and here is a shot from the side, I put a thin piece of foam in between both pieces to keep them from rubbing each other

Very nice ! Good job man. Keep it up!

 

[Nessy]

Looks good! And you can never have too many bolts holding things together. It's like like they are the most expensive part of the costume or anything. Far better to add a few extra then to have pieces falling apart.

How is the balance when you are wearing the backpack? Hopefully it doesn't make you topple over backwards or anything.

It looks good so far, like you said, just needs some more paint. How much have you gone through now?

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Thanks guys!! the balance is good, not too heavy in the back like I feared, very balanced especially with both shoulders attacked on there.
and just for reference, these pieces alone are about 34lbs and thats not including the helmet and forearms.

and as far as the paint question, prolly 6 or 8 cans of blue, at least two of white and two of gold.

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Just a little progress on the pistol this morning.

Still have some work to do on it yet like the grip, the sight and such, but I think its coming along nicely.

 

[Spartan Devastator]

alright got some major work done on the thigh and shin done tonight. Now my back hurts like crap.

Just showing how its coming and hoping to get this leg done soon so I can move on to the next one

 

[vshore100]

Looking awesome there bigfoot, lol. Keep it up man!

 

[thorn696]

Looks sweet, This is going to be a monster when it's done. I love all the details you're putting into it.

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Thanks guys!

I never really got into WarHammer myself, but you are absolutely tearing up this project!! Everything so far looks great.

[Spartan Devastator]

Got my bolt pistol finished.

This is my first prop weapon ever made, and I think it turned out pretty well. Let me know what you think!

 

[Nessy]

Looks Great! I like the paint job on it. How easy is it to hold with your glove on?

I would personally add more weathering, but maybe you are the kind of space marine who actually cleans his weapons properly.

 

[MEGATRON]

this looks great plus its always great to find another 40k fan while im tyranids myself anyway looks fan-freaking-tastic cant wait to see more

 

[Spartan Devastator]

Just so you guys know I'm still alive and working here. Recently had a new found push to start working again, sorry for the long delay in progress.
Hopefully have the left leg finished by the end of the week.

and here I have the finished the belly armor.

Got the right boot finished with glass last night and should have it bondo'd tonight. Hopefully finish the left arm tonight or tomorrow as well.

 

[vshore100]

Great job on the belly armor. Glad to see you're moving on this again.
