Fallout 3 Combat Armour W.i.p

[stilgarhammer]

Hello all,

Does anyone have reference pics of the combat armour with the arms up, so I can see how the front of the shoulders move?

Also Would a swiss army helm be correct from the game to wear?

Swiss Model 1918/66 helmet



I had the chest peped but it was to small.

I can't access my FO3 right now, so I'm afraid I can't help with the shoulder problem.



However, with your helmet-y thing: I think it'd be okay if you had no other options, but I wouldn't be 100% happy using it if I knew I could get something better. The helmet worn by the character/npc looks too a little domed for an actual military helmet, but they'd be your best bet. Off to your local Army Surplus store!



There might even be some pep of the helmet lying around. If I didn't have impending exams, and wasn't away from my 'good' computer, I'd try to make the pep for you now....sigh...at least one more year of a non-normal christmas remaining.



Sorry I couldn't really be of much help.

I have a steel Swiss helmet I used it for paintball. I have friends in the military and we discovered a funny thing, if you put the new Kevlar helm cover on the Swiss helm, it is difficult to tell the difference between the Kevlar and Swiss unless you pick them up. :eek

The legs and cod pices should be easy to scratch build.

Hello All,



Minor update, the chest is peped and sized correctly (I think)



New Question, Is the arm guards the same as the shins?

Hello All,

minor update..

Current Armour pieces are in the fiber-glassing stage now, still need to assemble the knees and legs.

To repeat a old question, Does anyone have reference pics of the combat armour with the arms up, so I can see how the front of the shoulders move, and the side under the arm?



Also I was thinking of using a 2 inch pistol belt with one buckle in place of the 2 buckle belt, what you think?

Yeah that would/should work. Just wondering, where did you get the pep files? I'm interested in this build, too. Fallout 3 is AMAZING.
