I like the mandibles longer, doesn't look like an alien pug anymore

This build is absolutely mental!
I'm always astounded at how people make Covenant cosplays.

Quick test fit with the horrific lighting in my room. Need to adjust several things but that’s what test fits are for. Also I only have one of my arms decked out cuz I couldn’t get the rest of the armor on without help lol. Also I know there’s a huge gap in the back, I’ll adjust that later.

I can't believe that I haven't seen this build thread yet!

Your elite is looking fantastic! Phenomenal work on sculpting the head.

This is so awesome! Gonna use this thread when I get back to working on my little brothers elite honour gaurd cosplay. Your head looks super realistic.

Dang! Its always so cool to see Elites, especially when you go for scale! Nice work! How good of the visibility in that? Are you going to go for stilts, or keep it feet height?

Thanks! I have pretty good visibility as the neck (where I see out of) is mesh and I plan on making the legs similar to how Yelsanick0117 built his so it’s more of an illusion. Still gonna add platforms so it gives me some height.

Currently sculpting the torso/back? piece of the elite. Still need to adjust several things, especially the arm holes but it’s still a wip

Looking good! Your foam work is super clean there!

 

[SpicyMcTuna]

Been a minute since I’ve had an update but I’ve made some progress on the stompers. Still have a lot of foam work and shaping to do on em but I have the base done and I’m able to walk so that’s a start lol. They add quite a bit of height as I’m 5’6” and with the shoes I’m about 6’4”. The head should add some extra height too

 

[SpicyMcTuna]

Pretty big update!! I’m basically done with the legs now and just need to do some touch ups on a couple things before I’m ready to prime and paint!

 

[pinoyfiasco]

Yooo this is bonkers. Can't believe I'm just now catching this. Awesome work so far!!!

 

[SpicyMcTuna]

Meant to share this here yesterday but totally forgot.

Lil test fit in poor lighting just to see what needs to be adjusted (one arm without armor because I can’t put it on without help lol). Ignore the undersuit it’s a work in progress lol.

I plan on making the shoulders attach to the chest piece to keep them from slipping down. Def need to do some adjustments to the chest to make it sit better and I plan on fixing the dangling pieces at the bottom too lol. Overall I’m pretty happy with the silhouette and the mobility is obviously limited but not too terrible

 

[Wicked Demon 15]

Omg yes

 

[SpicyMcTuna]

Some more progress on the big fella! Just gotta make a couple adjustments before I paint
