Dude that's gonna look awesome when it's finished

 

[Marvelous]

Looks awesome so far, can't wait to see it when it's done. Also, that visor is gonna be difficult, or, it would be for me. Hehe.

 

[Matronoke]

lol I tried and failed making the visor just straight up without a vac once already, got a bubble visor coming in the mail, and if that fails I'm coming to mansfield and raiding your house for your vac former!!!! it's actually not that far lol

UPDATE

Ok I finally finished all of the freaking pep work. It took FOREVER but now on to more fun stuff

Here is a pic of the entire suit laid out.

after I resin everything and rondo the chest so I am able to cut it and put it on, I will do my first test fit!

Wish me luck!

Dang thats lookin nice! Personally I am almost done pepping my helmet, and seeing your work is real inspiration. Can't wait to see more!

 

[thorn696]

Great work so far, you're pep looks smooth.

 

[Matronoke]

Well I resined every piece of the suit today. Can't really post a pic since everything is hardening in my backyard. But figured I'd give an update.

Tomorrow I plan to rondo the inside of the helmet and torso. Then cut my torso in 2 pieces so I can test fit. Lastly, I will do my first full test fit and see how the entire suit looks when its all together.

 

[Matronoke]

Update time!!!

I finished rondo on the inside of my helmet and torso. I haven't mastered the art of rondo yet but i know enough to get the job done.

Here are pics. Enjoy!

Helmet:

Torso:

Also, here is my current progress on one of the grenades for the belt. I will have more info on this once I see if it even turns out.

Grenade:

More updates coming soon!!!

P.S.- If there are any tips that will help me with the rondo process, please help me out. Thanks!!!

 

[Matronoke]

Update!
I know srry for triple post but I'm soo psyched about my test fit.

The suit looks soo cool and I can't wait to get farther.

Looking great so far, I actually love the commando shoulder, so when mine gets posted on my MKV thread have a look at it for reference on the stripe that goes through it.

 

[Pipinacan]

Looking wicked dude! you planning on going to any cons anywhere when you're done? we should have a security meet-up

 

[Matronoke]

haha we should. The thing is i have no idea where any cons are. The idea for this suit popped into my head only a month and a half ago.

 

[Serepheth]

damn thats so awesome man. cant wait to see it bondo'd and resined. i wish i knew people here in sacramento or northern california to go to some cons with.

 

[maysen22]

Ya, this suit is looking really good. Can't wait to see another update! Keep up the good work!

 

[Matronoke]

I sanded down my helm a little bit last night. Was able to get all of those pesky rondo splatters off.

I then added another coat of primer and am now ready for Bondo stage.

Before bondo, my plan is to rondo everything first so that should be my next update.

 

[The Red Baron]

Dang!
This is WAAAY better than my armor build, I think I should start working faster.
GREAT work, my friend. This is a major motivation for me.
Keep up the good work and keep inspiring.
