[NZ Ethan]

I'd like to see your process in putting each piece together. Did it take a lot of planning before hand, or are you doing each piece on the fly? Either way I'd assume you've got lots of reference because everything looks great.

I'm finding I'm less and less motivated to spend time cutting out little pepakura pieces, and I'm running out of time to be putting it off. Maybe I can just foam build the rest of my suit...

Hey man, im making an add on to the helmet tonight so ill photo each stage of how the piece is made if it will help you out

The test fit shots look great. You've gotten the look down well. The crazy part is that I really dig the colors the way they are. Granted weathering would finish it off nice. But there is something about that teal that really sets off the gray well. You're moving along really well and surprisingly fast for the quality you've gotten. Keep it up.

pic heavy update

painted up the chest

made some space shoes lol

painted the forearms

and the crutch

and finally this shoulder plate haha

 

[NZ Ethan]

just added these spent shells into the belt for some extra detail. Also my dad had a practice rubber knife for self defense training so i thought id add a knife to the chest plate, made a sheath out of foam and poped some screws in to make it look legit

 

[NZ Ethan]

so many updates, so little time, i was on the biggest roll today

 

[Jonus]

Man, you look awesome all suited up. What are your plans for the visor?
