i agree with you on the fact that it dosent look quite right.

i think its the jaw. is it too smooth? I may be wrong (i dont have halo 3 :unsure: ) but i think you should look at the halo 1 version and see the difference in that. I think the mouth and jaw areas are too tall and too smooth.

It still looks badazz though. :lol: And i see we have a TENACIOUS D fan in the house!!!!!
 
The model looks awesome so far FS. I'm not a fan of the MK5 helmet, but so far the model looks nice! Ugh I want to get back on the horse with 3D modeling! I LOVE watching your videos :D

and it really went well with the whiskey in the jar "cover" ;) and yes i know who and what it is, but im not saying for those who dont it rocks tho

stupid british weather I pass my test and the sun comes out so i can drive with the roof down but its not warm enough to dry some putty?
cover?grrr. :p :D blow torch? but whouldnt that...? yea, were the same...as you probibly know.:lol: thankfully i havnt gotten a chance to get anywhere near the fiber glassing stage yet.

Hey, can I ask what the part is that you said you went "a little overboard with the detail" on? I thought the small detail under the front of the neck area was annoying. If there is something much worse than that, I would love to know what lol. I'm still finishing it either way. I find myself fudging it more and more on the tiny tabs and just cutting them off. I fill in the space with hot glue :lol: Well, if you think about it, its only a really tiny flat no detail spot I'm cutting off depending on where it is. I don't leave out the whole piece, just cut off the really tiny tabs the side of the mouse cursor. Oh well, I am done with the front section, the pecs are complete, now moving on to the shoulders and then the back. Then to connect around the waist. I have to say, this is probably the hardest pep piece I have ever done and it will probably take the longest. I am in my room at my workbench every chance I get. My parents say I'm gonna turn white... Not that its possible to get a tan now lol.

P.S. a quick little idea. See in my avatar the hat I got at an army surplus store? I got the unsc pin at a game stop. I could press that into the wet bondo and it would make a cool little indented unsc insignia. Shoulder symbol idea?! I don't know, I think I want to make up my own shoulder symbol. Maybe on chest over the sternum. (Thats the bone that goes up in the middle of your ribs if you didn't know.)
 
Well i wont actually torch it its just the hottest thing I can do, not allowed to sit it infront of the nice warm fire because of the smell
 
Just wanna see if you can determine if I should go smaller in scaling. It's at 27 right now.

If you need more pics I can get some. I just didn't wanna make another thread for this.


Gotta love my messy basement.

oh i ment the lil buts at the back, on each side of the top bit of black detail. the bits where the screws or something go. yea, alot of the tabs a a lil pointless cuza how small they all get. lol, hardest eh? ill take that as a complament. :) idea say the lil unsc insignia would be nice on a descrete part as if its like a hallmark or the like. or perhaps on the left man -boob (cant rember the name).

hahaha. maby you could have a bonfire or the like. then again it appears to be sunny outside today, its weird ("i was goin in to work this morning and there was this big, bright, yellowish thing in the sky!", "yea, thats the sun." "the what?"). its still cold thoe. stupid weather.

im not too sure, it looks a lil big but then again it is the tester. better to get a few other opinions. every one else? oh and dont worry about makin new threads for stuff like checking if it looks right, feel free to use tis one (that goes for everyone).

"its an improbability level of... oh i dont know, but something very large"

---------------------

in other news, im thinking of quiting collage. I've got a degree in model making and design for film and media and i was goin or a higher degree in production design for theatre, film and tv and im finding it very, very, very, very boring. i know i can do it, thats not the problem, its the acuialy having to prove it to these morons that i can. (to put it in context as to how i know i can do it; last year my theatre design was chosen to repesent ireland as our first entery into the prauge quadranial(that means this exhibition only happens once every four years). i got a 2 week free holiday in prauge and got to give a lecture about my set to people who didnt understand what i was saying= fun).

anyway, if i do quit it means my income will double becuase i wont be working part time anymore, i can move out (again), have less of a commute time(currently 3-4 hours daily), and i'll ultimitly be able to spend more time on my own projects like the models for here and what not.

they're the pro's, the cons are i have already written my thesis which is the hardest part.... hmm... i suppose that should be the con, not the cons. still thoe, its a prity big one.

so whata you guys think?

26.5 will be better, right now it looks good, but it looks slightly too much to the back. I'd scale it down to 26.5 (which is what default is for FS)

Gah! My thesis is nowhere near done. I say stick it out, then flip your advisor and commitee off when you graduate.

How much more time do you have left? I say if it's only another semester, or two, just stay in there finish it up. The other way around it is of course experience and a great portfolio, which I'm sure you have both from what you've described about the theatre design project.
 
Yeah if you're close to graduation and just need afew more months, hang in there :D If not, the pros seem to outweigh the cons :D

And trying to prove morons how good you are never works, morons don't know what good work is :p

That would be the left pectoral. Or pec. :lol:

How do I quote a specific part of someone's post? All I could do was that and it doesn't say Flying Squirl's name like I thought it would.

Just do what I do, don't use the numbers. the lines are easier to see, and it's fun to see if you can figure out where everything goes. LOL That's how I do mine!

Oh and divide "tabs" evenly that overlap so as too have gluing place.

haha yer. When I made all my armor I just did it one tab at a time nice and slow. And if it looks like that fk it, i just cut the lot of it off and whack it in. Thats what bondo/body filler is for afterwards! the thing doesnt have to be exact lol just close most the small thin strips as long as you get half of the tabs glued the rest dont matter coz the thing just stays in shape. ps I used 200gsm instead of 163gsm(110lb) card, my things rock hard and didnt need any supports lol.

oh, and I just realised something, check out my email addy, I've had it for over 10 years now but its got a Master C... and a John in there. freaky deaky do.

Yer, the photo of the tester you put up is a little big
flying squirals hd helmet, I didnt change the size and it fits me snugly

on a scale of 1 to 10

1 being way to loose
5 being perfect
10 being way to tight

I'd say without changing the scale the HD helm is a 6 on me, just a little bit tighter than it should be but i'm talking about half an inch or less that its to tight, and I have a large head, its.... 23 and a half inchs (60 cm) from my forhead, round the tops of the ears and round the back and my neck is 16" (41cm) around.

I'd say reduce your size by 5% if you want it a little lose still or 10% if you want it snugish 15% for tight.

but yer check out the photos my head size on the hd model and on the tester. , the brim on the tester is a little squashed, someone sat on it.
