Cog Armor

[Spartan 051]

might as well find a home for it too i guess, or i can just buy a plastic knife when halloween 2008 rolls around the corner. so provide the knife, see how detailed it is, and the pouches.
buy a toy chainsaw from HomeDepot and shove it on there somehow. or instead of doing pep lancer, which is time consuming and VERY hard, do this
~~~
i just realised that the chestplate for Marcus is more complex than even Flying Squirel's H3 chest. for his is a few total of 24 pages (struts not included) while Spartan 051's is a perfect 60 pages easy...i feel like i can do anything after my GOW2 suit.

This is a big project but it can be done and it looks amazing when done. Looks like i will be using those gallon resin, massive amounts of fiberglass and those gallon things of bando. But this thing wont be light with all that bando

I just want to know what would be a mold cost of the chest? because having a couple of pulls for gears 2 to sell would be amazing

Im not sure if this was directed at me or not so ill answer it anyways. The lancer pep has everything attatched. The blade is attatched to the gun. The only thing that i removed was the circle on the side, cause that alone added a page and a bit to the pep and i mean you could fix that in a second. And the sight was taken off because of practicallity. Put a washer on the top and it will be fine. As for my progress, its coming very slowly. Alot of work needs to be done to get rid of open faces and also to help cut down on the number of pages. Its at about 250 pages now. My goal is to have it under 30. I dont know if itll happen, i might try to get rid of all the stupid indent, its alot of work so be patient and i hope itll be done by the end of the month. If not then ill keep working on it but school is hard enough right now so ill do that first and any free time ill try to spend on it.

If you need help i can always help i got plenty of time to blow

i think u should get some light metal and cut your self one out!!! if your good at it, it should take you 45 minutes with no mistakes and going really slow

I would not use a metal cut out the lancer has a wider blade then a normal chainsaw

just a Q. how do u wear it?

That i have know idea how to to do it. I think you can just slip the cog chest over your your body with no problem

just a Q. how do u wear it?

first, and foremost, are you going to make the belt two pieces similar to the style Adam used for his armor? if so, put it on after putting on the shins and the boots. if not, have the Codpiece connected to the belt somehow, and wear it first. then put on the shins and strap it under the leggings. then the boots. have gloves ready and wear the wrists, then gloves. Finally, wear the bandana. Finish it off by connecting the two shoulders to the plate and wear it...

this is very straight to the point but very confusing as well. im halfway through cutting my chest pieces, and im gonna have the entire day tomorrow so i will show how to put it on roughly that is, if i can finish it.

MC PwN 3R: Do you plan on fiberglasses the chest soon?

get a real chain saw for the lancer

That would be amazing if some one was able to do that. i would be amazed if some one was able to do that then saw down a tree with there lancer

MC PwN 3R: Do you plan on fiberglasses the chest soon?

right as i go to walmart in Vancouver. that would be around mid-april to the end of may. during the summer, thats where ill be fiberglassing everything. and while im in Vancouver, ill buy myself a Longshot and a toy chainsaw too for the lancer.

get a real chain saw for the lancer

lolz, then flip it upside down in the air and saw some locust, lolz.

~~~

aww, crap i think i have carpal tunnel syndrome after cutting and folding 60 pages worth of pep. oh well, it came out purty in the end. again, i have to agree with PSBeretta; the collar will not yeild a human head, unless you plan on cutting the front and making a folded half of it. otherwise, its impossible to get a head--my head, through there. i had to mess around with the neck design but in the end i like the outcome. camera's out of batteries but im gonna charge it tonight and see to it in the morning with pics of the neck area and the chestplate.

when scaling the chest, add like 4 inches to your height. i added only two and it came out a wee bit small to my liking but it fits but it only goes on me without me wearing a shirt. oh well, maybe a different story after i fiberglass. Spartan 051, thanks for the files, i appreciate it.

im gonna get ready to win best costume for Halloween 2008 again!

Ow! Carpal Tunnel!

 

[link4044]

dont temp me putting a real one in

I had that same **** when i folded nztks odst helm i had to stop folding for like a week it sucked. I dont think the size will effect you all that much you got to remember the chest is deep so your arms might be a little small but just trimmed the arm holes. Then have you tried all this armor on yet?

dont temp me putting a real one in

If you found a safe way i would be right behind you making that beast with the chainsaw in it. So any updates on your side?

 

[MC PwN 3R]

hey, spartan 051. relax, it fits. quit being a non-believer, it fits any normal human. its just the backpack that protrudes out that makes it look so huge but really, its just another Master Chief's chest but different style.

 

[MC PwN 3R]

sorry but my double post is for a good cause.
i charged my battery last night. woke up this morning, suddenly realized; we're all in this together! I started smilin', cuz you were smilin! We're all in this together...whatever...
yep pics are up, and 5 of them too! one is a little blurry cuz no one else was home. Caution, contains nudity of the second man to make Spartan 051's chestplate.
here it is folks.

-everything except the wrists and the handplates.

-the close up shoot of just the plate with the shoulders attached to it

-chestplate on its side

-crappy camera tried to take a good pic but it came out all blurry. but you understand the main pic, not the little details no?

and finally,

-me, bust shot of myself wearing that god damned huge chestplate that is hard to put on and hard to take off.

~~~

i can't wait to resin this thing, its gonna be awesome!
note: the collar is not there, as PSBeretta and I mentioned before, it is impossible to get it made and still make your head fit in. but is there a way to include the collar as well? i was looking at some of those billboard stuff McDonald's and **** use for ads on the street near the restaurant? its a white corrigated plastic, i think. stifff and sharp.it fell on my toe once and it started to bleed...not much but was enough to cut skin. would that be a good use for a collar?

 

[Spartan 051]

that chest makes you have some small ass arms. looks amazing all together cant wait to start mine (spring break hell yah). The boots look like they worked i had a big fear about them because i just used my leg not fenix's. About the collar thing i would not a cut on the neck never fun i think there might be away by taking like a jacket (north face fleeces). Im going to try to play around with pep and see if i can make that collar work

I will get the stuff down as soon as possible. I see that i forgot some of the models parts because theres upper leg and arm

 

[MC PwN 3R]

oh damn, theres more? sick! so then i dont need to make my own parts...awesome.
furthermore, im asian and only 15. that is as fat as im gonna get until im allowed to work out by myself. even though i eat steak breakfast lunch and dinner pretty much. Steak, but asian style.

 

[Spartan 051]

I do theres some really odd parts to pull out of the model. I might just take out those models and post them and let people work on them a little to see if they can get it correct. I just looked at the pictures again i think your belt falling off a little because that belt sits like right no your waist or a little lower

I hope those wrist and hands works? that was the other problem with scaling this beast

You should go on the epic gears forum and post your armor people have been talking about it ever since the game came out

And if you post a link you can bring them here to join to get armor

 

[MC PwN 3R]

in time, my friend...in time. that would be sweet! i should get a new rank after that!

 

[Spartan 051]

in time, my friend...in time. that would be sweet! i should get a new rank after that!

I dont know if there is a rank for having two suits?

To give an update i finished the leg knife and the equipment that goes on the belt. posted the links on the first page there the last two on the list

 

[MC PwN 3R]

nothing too hard, just ran out of cardstock...

so, in regardance to your question, Spartan 051, the wrists do fit. improvise a bit and viola! dont believe me? take a look for yourself!
you'll need:
- CCM's red/black bicycle gloves ($16)
- Womens black winter gloves ($0.99)
- Spartan 051's Fenix Wrists (Pep File)
- Finding out that your mama wore her shirt inside out at Tim Hortons (Priceless)

- the bike gloves

- women's winter gloves

- put em together and add pep wrist at the bootom of gloves

- wear it, live it, love it.

- lovely, isnt it?

- reaching for gears of war
