Thanks guys! Not that I know of, I've pulled everything I'm using from the armory here. I've got the MK IV gen I shoulder bondo'ed but I'm gonna wait till I sand it to post any pics
Well I'm finally pleased with how it the shoulder has turned out.
First layer I used way too much!!!
After I sanded it down I marked out remaining imperfections (most of which I caused)
After learning less is more the second layer looked a lot better. I sanded it down and then a good once over with high grit sand paper.
I have some lighting plans involving a few needler shards. Just need to decide how I want to do it. Any tips would be much appreciated!!! I'm thinking hot glue sticks for the needler shards
Well I've got most of the security shoulder done. First foam armor piece I've done. I think it turned out pretty good. Gotta get it shaped a little better and add a few of the smaller pieces. Not sure how I'll fasten this to the rest of the armor though. Gonna be a while before I do anything else. I'm gonna be gone the next week playing paintball!
I'm probably going to do the biceps next then forearms. I'm currently pondering how I'm going to connect the bicep to the security shoulder. Any ideas out there?
The chest is resined, I just have to get the brackets under the arms
And I got some lights in the mail!!! The first two I got BOTH had shorts in the half way through but these look great!!
I'm planning on installing them like so...
Other then that I'm currently on a stand still. I printed the forearms but the were a bit too small. Went to reprint and my printer is printing black on the whole sheet. Gotta try a few things to trouble shoot it but will most likely buy a new one, so that gives me time to harden the parts I have and bondo them. I'll be doing the legs in foam so if all goes well this costume will be done by September!!!
Had some printer issues last week so I did some work on the shoulder!!!
I wasn't too happy with the spartan stencil. I wanted it to look painted on but it didn't really turn out the way I pictured but once I weathered it I was really taking to it. All I have left to do is the lights for the needles and this piece is DONE!
Yeah. I ran into a guy on Facebook that 3D printer them for the needler nerf gun and he had some spares left over. While I was deciding which armor I wanted to make the idea popped in my head because of all the open space on this shoulder, but I didn't know what I was gonna make the needles out of ( was thinking hot glue sticks). I was going through the halo props page and saw that a guy was like minded and used these on a helmet and found the guy who made the needles through him
Well I haven't touched this project in over a month so I decided it's time to get back at it. Starting to cut out the thighs, got the chest and arms glasses and on to the bondo. Think I've come a long way since bondoing the shoulder!!!
