[paradoxdj]

damn that looks sweet! good to see you making some more progress on it mac!

 

[Macattack64]

Haha I wanted to stay in dark for a while but I felt the need to post some bit of where I'm at.. It's been a while.

 

[SprayNoob]

Hey Mac, Im not quite sure if i ever posted on your threads but here it goes:



Looking great Dood. I like HD details Personally im attracted to detail(s). (If you catch my drift) Bow Chicka Bow Wow - L. Tucker





SprayNoob

 

[Macattack64]

Thank you SprayNoob. lol





I also wanted to point out that I ditched the Nugget Forearms I had before, they were a little big. I still have them resined and everything, also I'm not going to be working on any lower body pieces until I have all the upper body done.



I used Smooth-Cast 320 on the forearms, biceps, and some of the back torso piece, I also added the detail on the forearms by buying a Beware of Dog sign.

easily my favorite pep project currently, and ive looked at em all.

 

[pooper]

Mac, the suit looks fantastic! I'm glad to see you back on this... easily one of my favorites. Starting to look elite worthy... Can't wait to see it done!

 

[Tandhem]

yeh mac's is amazing, but so is yours pooper. and damn i used to live in augusta georgia!

 

[Macattack64]

Thanks Pooper, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.



Here are some pictures I took of some of the bondo work done to FlyingSquirrel's Med Def Forearms.

Can you guess what I used for the detail?

Yep, it's a Beware of Dog sign.







I won't be doing a lot of work on it this week, just this morning I got my wisdom teeth out..

 

[scandomfo]

Wow you made the Med def forearms look great

Don't worry, I feel your pain. I recently got my wisdom out also.

 

[SPARTAN II]

Dayum! I don't check this thread for about half a year, and look what happens lol



Lookin' my-tee fine there, my friend. I'm loving the detail you're putting into all of it. Definately looks like it's starting to come together very well. This is going to be one helluva leet suit when done. Are you planning on doing the same colour scheme for the whole suit as you did on your helmet (red with white details)? :unsure



That'd look awesome, imho



P.S., I see you got yourself one of Link's AR's. Sweet

 

[Macattack64]

Haha, Thanks, but I still got a lot of work ahead of me to get this suit where I'd like it to be.



And yes I am going with the Red with White.

I hear ya, but it's no more than what I've got to do, buddy lol



Nice choice on the colours, btw. I was originally thinking of sticking with the cannon MC-green for mine, but more recently have been thinking maybe a dark gunmetal grey with maroon/bergundy details would look kewl

 

[Macattack64]

That would be cool. I've also got some other armor stuff I'll be working on but I won't be announcing that anytime soon, I don't think. I'd like to keep that one in that dark.



That seems like a cool enough paintjob.



All I need to put together is the handplates and then I have bondo work on Biceps, Forearms, Backtorso piece and some on the front, handplates, and that that'd be it for now, but college is coming up very fast and I'd like to see if I could get done for ODST but I don't know.

Really? In your recent WiP pics it didn't look to me like you needed to do much more work on those :unsure



Best of luck on getting it done in time for ODST, my friend. I know mine won't be done anywhere near that soon, but at least now I've got more to work with :cool

I'll get some more pictures up later today, the back piece needs a lot of work, It hasn't been bondoed at all.

 

[SPARTAN II]

Ah, okay. Well, looking forward to those pics, then

 

[Macattack64]

OK so I've kinda got a fairly big update..

Bunch of Pictures..

Started cleaning forearms up a bit more and got the last bits of body filler on them

Smoothen Side

Rough Side

Body filler on the Bicep

Both Biceps with some Body filler

Front chest piece worked on with Ab plate below

I used plastic, It is a little warped but heat gun should be able to help.



This is what I really been working hard on

Recon in pep form

Covered in spot putty to make sure for a smooth back and sides. Will sand it tomorrow.







Does it look up to par?

All my reference pictures.



I should have more pictures tomorrow..

 

[stick83]

haha that helmet is intense im jsut starting a CQB, and man would i liek to have that recon. id say it looks prettty darn close. loving the message ender

 

[Macattack64]

I'll throw some paint on it tomorrow after work, get it nice and smooth. Get the spot putty sanded smooth with a higher grit paper and boom, I should be getting closer to done, I have plastic to make the detail side spot and some for the back.. But other than that it should be on the road to doneness.

 

[stick83]

pretty sick man now i dont mean to bea pain but how do you sale to get your helm size put our hight in the scale and add a few cm to hight and witdh?
