That is amazing on so many levels. I've really been wanting to pep the arbiter helmet, but I have so much on my hand between school and my ODST, I'm never gonna get to do it. I really can't wait to see this now!
This work is absolutely fantastic every single piece of it is awsome from the elite's facial work you simply the awsome posters you got hanging around... respect dude. I have to ask how exactly do you manage to get him out your doorway it at least looks like he is getting kind of heavy and he has to be very awkward to carry because he is so massive. Also suggestion, i dont expect you to do this at all but just asking in case i ever try and take on a project like this (whitch would be very far down the road i have not even started my first project because it is so expensive and i have an under-the-table bellow minimum wage job so having troubles getting necesary tools to start my own project) but any way what i wanted to ask is after you finish applying resin and hardening your absolutely spectacular pep. work.... would you be able to rig it so that all of the limbs can be manipulated like instead of it being just one stationary statue make it so you can pose him in different positions by setting hinges and what not in the joints. Or would that be to much of an undertaking and risky for possibly ruining the product to even bother?
sorry if i worded that in a confusing manner wasnt quiet sure how to ask haha
Its alright. I think I understand what you are asking. You wanted to know if I intended to make this project moveable. I will not be making the arms or legs so that they move. I'm going to try and build it so I can remove the arms to get the elite through doors for setup. I still have armor to think about.
I was just asking as to HOW you would do it.
just out of complete curiousity, how much has this cost you already?
and are you going to bondo him after you are done building? and if so, how much do you think you're going to be putting into him all together?
I don't know how much it has cost in terms of dollar amounts. That was the one thing I didn't keep track of. I keep track of how many pages, roughly. I didn't think to bondo him, but now I think I might. I know I'm putting more into it than most would, but to have him standing in a full set of arbiter armor will be awesome. Little creepy when I'm gaming against the Covenant, but I'm ok with that.
I won't bondo all of the elite, just problem areas. Mainly the feet and leg areas. The torso and head have held up nicely. Its only the feet that are holding me up.
alternatively, you could read through the thread, which is only 16 pages at 10 posts per page and majority of which are either pictures or posts about the length of this one...Could you post a link for all the pep files please?
