Back in the saddle

[GregorHawthorne]

I'm finally ready to start printing again. I hope to have my SPI armor usable by Christmas.

 

[GregorHawthorne]

Some progress. Had a minor support failure but nothing critical. Everything seems to be running smoothly.

 

[GregorHawthorne]

Almost done with my SMGs

 

[GregorHawthorne]

Got about 1 day left to print.

 

[GregorHawthorne]

The helmet is printed and the visor is dyed. Next step is chroming and sanding. Also starting the hands and arms today.

the visor looks great how do you get that rounded fishbowl shape of the visor?

 

[GregorHawthorne]

I just bought one premade on Etsy. I tried to find a link for you but I can't find it.

I always love seeing SPI builds! Can't wait to see this one finished! What color scheme are you going with?

was probably rogue workshop's. it got destroyed in their basement flood.

are those hand plates the right size? They seem massive. also I recommend turning them 90 degrees when you print them it should ease the amount of supports needed and get you nicer prints! overall looking good! I've got mine almost fully printed out all thats left is the chest arms and helmet!

That's unfortunate. Yeah they're the right size. I'll be mounting them to some fairly thick gloves. And I oriented them this way for more lateral strength.

I'm gonna do the classic olive drab scheme with a ghillie suit and bones.

understandable! though I don't see why some hand plates would really need lateral strength. not like you can extend your palms to the point where it needs that strength. either way your build do it how you want! just saying that those top layer lines are not gonna be fun to get out...

as long as its not spot putty you should be fine. if it is it'll likely chip considering how much hand plates hit things.
