[S1l3nt V1p3r]

LOL. Thanks for the flattery... It's getting there for sure. I'm glad to see this helmet coming to an end.

We are going to be starting another project shortly....

...I love you... *sniff*

ODST..

O my GOD! Will you be my valentine?

You should considering to take a few photo's from the single player from halo 3 for a better reference, WETA did a great job but there are a few thing that ar'nt completely accurate.

:not worthy: :not worthy: :not worthy:

EDIT:
Its not that you guys cant do it on you own but i made this a while back for my own ODST sculpt.

LOL. We're still going on the Mark V? armor but we are going to pound through another project also. Two guys = two projects

We're doing the WETA version of the ODST armor. We'll hopefully be doing NZ-TK's ODST helmet also.

Can't wait to see more on all you projects! It will be nice to see your weta base and game base ODST side by side.

ODST = Orbital Drop Shock Troopers..... sweet man if u guys made a movie, it would be the best ever

 

[slavefive]

...some stills from something we were working on before...

 

[Adam]

I know what it's like to have ambitions that outweigh time to do this stuff. I'd love for you guys to do something others haven't worked on before, and I think ODST is a great route.

Have you decided what to do about the cheek vents/splitloom stuff?

 

[BishopX]

Cheek vents? On the MC? We are making them right now.

Oh great....thanks dude....now you make me want to finish that friggin movie.

 

[slavefive]

...sorry everyone...we now will be stopping the MC project to finish IC

...I keed, I keed :tutu:

 

[BishopX]

LOL. I did this at lunch today. I painted vaseline into the vent holes and then pressed Evercoat into the holes to take impressions. This gives me the base for my vents. I pressed some renshape onto the wet evercoat to hold it in place and to give myself more depth for shaping the vents. Renshape is a far better material to machine than Evercoat or Bondo.

Sweet one step closer!!!

 

[NZTK]

Can you tool renshape and cibatool by hand? or is it only for mills?

 

[BishopX]

You can do anything with it. It sand smoothly. It's fairly soft. I can gouge it with my fingernail. You can cut it on tablesaw, bandsaw, mill, lathe, etc. You can dremel it, carve it, etc. It's like a slightly chalkier bondo. It's about $600.00 for a 2"x16"x48" board. If you need a thicker piece, you just CA glue two pieces together. They bond immediately and you can start work right away. I highly suggest it if you are trying to get high detail quickly and accurately.

 

[CMANavy]

Very nice work gents. I am supprised not have seen this sooner.

 

[Hollis DZC]

My god guys, this just keeps getting better and better and better! First it was Spartan Armor, now ODST Armor! Ohhhh my.

I'm at a loss for words right now...quiet Lewis, you know that doesn't happen very often!! :rolleyes

 

[BishopX]

Still working on the vents at lunch.....It's not a lot of time to get things done....
