The one you are scaling is not the DFT one.

Yeah, I know. But they are the pdo files I could find. ArmorSmith does not accept DFT's .pdf files for scaling.
But the overall style should be similar so I just needed to be able to see where the differences were.

TurboCharizard ' s picture was perfect. Thanks for sharing.

 

[PaiganBoi]

Ahhhhhhh... Didnt know that DFT had a different version.
Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

No prob.......I will be using 1/2 and 1/2 for the torso

 

[PaiganBoi]

Scaling is going pretty well.

The scale of the hip plates is too small. They should be big enough where it over laps the thighs.
Unless you made them smaller on purpose for Jr's mobility.

Agreed......the plates should be 1/3 the way down the thighs.......or at least 1/4

Like so:

 

[TurboCharizard]

which is the one he offers the templates for sale. The ones that TurboCharizard has the pic of is of this version.....which he even states that no sizes are given, and you have to measure it out yourself.

Yeah... I used those as a base and then just modified templates using tin foil and duct tape. I can dig out the adjusted ones that I made if needed.

 

[PerniciousDuke]

Thanks guys! This will definetly help in the planning.

One thing I'm noticing is everyone's thighs are different. I can't see turbo's, the Kitties are just tactical hardshells belted on, and I think DD's son has the best and most similar to the pep file I'm using for visual purposes. Which one is from the DFT templates?


Here is the best in game model I could find to help me position the pieces.


And here is where I'm at with scaling. Almost done.

The Tactical Hard shell thighs are from the DFT templates

Yeah, mine are a cross between the MacFarlane Toys Halo 3 ODST and the Halo 3: Landfall ODST by Weta which are held on by straps around the legs and linked to the belt so they're probably not the best example for a tanky suit like Jorge's.

The scaling looks like it's going well, it must be fun to work on a model with goofy kiddo proportions that make no sense in comparison to what you're used to.

 

[PerniciousDuke]

TurboCharizard It is pretty comical. Mostly the head. I think I'll need to scale the helmet even a tad bigger so he can get it on and off, but I'm worried about the bobbleheadisms that'll start happening.

 

[TurboCharizard]

I raise you a bobbleheaded Ewok-toddler.

 

[Hein B287]

Exuse me while i punch a wall to regain my manliness after this super cute pic

 

[PerniciousDuke]

From the reference photos I've seen the signature ODST "chest" spans a little past the 'backpack-looking-straps'.

Do you think I have it close enough? I don't want to make it too big for him, but I do want the chest to be a little oversized so he can grow into it...

 

[PaiganBoi]

The chest plate looks just right. I scaled the plate the same way.

 

[PerniciousDuke]

I promise I've been working on this guys! Don't lose that motivation. I've only been able to use ArmorSmith at work so the time has been limited. But, I'm close! I should be posting each builder's plan tomorrow.

Motivation... Waning... Must... Find... Rum.

EDIT 3 MINUTES LATER

We're all good!

 

[Hein B287]

Enough said

 

[PerniciousDuke]

Here's an example of the kind of document I'll be presenting to each builder. Dimensions are in millimeters and are the widest outside points.

We'll be using DFT templates, but these PDO files should be close to the same size. So if we can attempt to get the overall dimensions close then they will be scaled with the other builder's pieces. I've also included the subject's dimensions for said area. This is so our crafters can double check to be sure the little guy is gonna be able to fit (since I did not factor in the thickness of foam in scaling, only oversized for growth)

Should I include any more information?

Oh geez...I’ve forgotten the pain that is scaling helmets...

If you could pass some of that Rum over this way Mr. Irregular that would be great
