Where can I find this template? I've been looking around for an accurate one but I simply cannot acquire onePainting
Before I started painting I found myself a colouring page of the Mrk7 armor and roughly coloured it in photoshop. This gives me a good way to play around with the placement of the colours. You can ofcourse just base this on your favorite in-game skin but I am an artist at heart and I wanted something unique to me. So here's the design I came up with.

I started with the lower arm pieces and just measured the papakura piece the had the most straightforward shape and compared that to my own measurements. Based on that I knew that the file actually quite matched my proportions. I lucked out and didn't actually need to resize much. Most resizing I did on the fly during the build: I took out strips of foam to make the fit ticher or added them to widen it. But like I said I didn't need to resize much in the end.I'm loving your work, I apologize for my English, I want to start my own armor, could you tell me how you did to scale it to your size?
That is being my biggest complication so far
Iiiiii should have included a source! My bad, here you goWhere can I find this template? I've been looking around for an accurate one but I simply cannot acquire one
ThanksIiiiii should have included a source! My bad, here you go
Fricken dope, son!Small update: I made hand plates!
They're 3D printed with PLA (you can see the print lines, I didn't sand them) and attached to the gloves with a copious amount of hot glue.
The paint is just acrylics again but with a protective layer of spray varnish.

Now that's cool! The cards look great.I got my deployment trading cards and if you find me at a con you might even get lucky and get a foil/holo card!
I had them printed through a German printed site and the glitter/holo effect is done with holo paper stickers I got from amazon
Thankyou! I ended up getting close to 300 cards instead of the 75 I ordered so I will be handing them out even when I'm not in armor or I'll never run out hahaNow that's cool! The cards look great.
Thanks! I'm so happy it was helpful!Just saw this thread and I loved everything you did! For sure inspired me to do a few things for my MkVII. Congrats on the grading and deployment!!
its seriously quite easy, you can start with something like a bracer or something simple to get the hang of it. I basically made two sets of fantasy arm armor pieces before I started my armor build and it was super doable! Just leave the helm and chest piece till last x)I need to figure out foam, i built a spartan out of PLA and Resin and wasn't a fan lol
I didn't end up placing but I had a blast! There was a 40k inquisitor who blew it out of the water and he beat us all fair and square hahaVery cool. How did you do in the competition?
Sadly no! But I imagine that would have taken too much time. I did get feedback from someone online: he recommended a bit more action in my performance.Congratulations on competing!! Did you get any feedback from it?
That's good at least. Better luck with the next one I am sure you will kill it!Sadly no! But I imagine that would have taken too much time. I did get feedback from someone online: he recommended a bit more action in my performance.
