Carter Build Reboot!

[Charlie117]

omh you are alive and back nice lol very well done , love the white foamies!

 

[Draxon]

@Charlie117 Thanks haha! Yeah I took a long break after moving

Well, another small update, I made the knife and sheath so that I could finally get that thing finished and out of the way.





Yep... that's all I got... Well, tomorrow I should be working on remaking the cod and hopefully it will be done so that I can start on fixing the chest! Yay!
Here's everything I have left to do:
-Remake Cod
-Fix chest
-Remake ab protector (I cut off the old one)
-Make spine
-Make fanny pack
-Make helmet attachment
-Fix helmet
-Make either DMR, Assault Rifle, or Magnum

That's pretty much all I have left to do before Plasti-dipping and painting, so things are looking really good If I can make every piece that's left within a day or less (except helmet and weapon) things should be done within about a week and a half...? If there aren't any interruptions which I'm doubtful... Plus, if things are all done, (besides painting, the weapon, and the helmet), I'll have an abundance of time (two whole months xD) to make things look really nice and also work on some other side-projects.. Such as a child sized Caboose helmet I'm free-hand building! I'm planning on making it and giving it away to some kid I meet who's a huge Halo fan I think it would be really cool for them to go to the convention and be awarded a helmet by a spartan, so that's why I though it'd be a cool idea to do that xD I've already started on it and have taken a few pics but I will post them on a seperate thread when I have more done and more time to solely dedicate to that build. Yerp.

Well that's it for today and I'll keep y'all posted on where things are at! Thanks for looking!

looks great man! but i thought all attachments where on the left are? not knock you but helping for exact specification reason

 

[Draxon]

@ Harri51 The attachments are on the proper side but in the pictures they're on the wrong side because they were taken in the mirror

Sadly haven't done much to say for progress due to school all week and I work this weekends as well :/ But! After this weekend I will be back in full swing and will be working on the cod and fanny pack (finish them during the week) then by the weekend work on the chest and finish that!

HEAVY SIGH...! Well.. its been a while... i haven't posted in quite a while due to my computer dying and me finally getting it back so yay! the expo convention i am attending is in two days and ive almost got everything done and painted.

So the chest is drying right now as well as the nerf magnum im making haha tomorrow ill finish everything else (paint few details on cheat and glue magnum/finish painting it) shouldnt take longer then a few hours. Ill hgave more pictures upp when the painting is finally completely done and then even more when i go and come back from the convention Any critic is welcome! Thanks for looking!

Leak seal used instead of plasti dip, way better, much cheaper. 12$ a can instead of 25$ for platidip

Where are you buying your plasti dip? Cans are only $6 at walmart here haha

The suit really came together great, it will look amazing once it's all finished and at the convention. Can't wait to see the final product!

 

[Draxon]

really..? thats brutal... last time i bought some it was $25 :/ well the otehr stuff works great if not better THanks though

I might have to try out the Leak Seal for myself.

 

[CLOTHAR]

Your suit is looking good.

 

[Draxon]

Here's some pics of me at the con sorry for being so late to do this



Well that's that! The convention was a ton of fun and it was super cool to see all the other cool costumes that other people made. I can't wait to go next year! Thanks for looking!
