Meatwad's Grenadier Build (WIP and Pic Heavy)

[Meatwad]

I used quick drying Elmer's craft glue. I tried hot glue and wasn't a fan.

 

[Meatwad]

Today i got the left bicep done. I had to remake it because the one before wouldn't fit. This one fits like a glove.




Tomorrow i will work on the grenadier attachment.

 

[ArmoredAmir]

Its looking great I'm excited to see it all together! Keep up the good work man!

 

[Afrousjojo]

Wow, really good job done! I'm looking forward to see the next steps!

 

[Meatwad]

Update!

I pepped the grenadier shoulder that will be going on my left arm. This piece had some problem areas, but once i harden and bondo it, it'll look quite nice.

Here's some pictures




And here it is "on". Really just have it sitting on top of the bicep just to make sure it looks right.


Looks good to me! Let me know what you guys think.

Damn man, your pep work is top notch! Can't wait to see more progress

 

[SpartanCC]

God damn it you are soooo good at pep work and bondo and all. Its a shame not every body is as good as you!

Damn man, your pep work is top notch! Can't wait to see more progress

Thank you very much sir. I'm going to start resining the bicep and shoulder tonight. Then I'm working on my right bicep and shoulder attachment.

God damn it you are soooo good at pep work and bondo and all. Its a shame not every body is as good as you!

Thank you for your kind words. I have put a lot of work into this and I'm glad it shows.

I NEED HELP!

I feel like the torso i made is too small, but i really don't want to start over. So, I'm turning to you wonderful people here on the 405th!

Please tell me if you think my torso is scaled correctly, or if i need to make it bigger!

Front view


Side view (the bottom parts don't have enough room, but that's an easy fix)


Back view


And here it is side by side with my MK VI chest i made. The MK VI fits right.


Let me know what you guys think. Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated!

 

[SpartanCC]

Although I'm new on here I have been doing this a long time and I agree it is a little bit on the small side but with the large biceps it should be OK. Also if you make the M247H it will look much better.
I hope it works out fine!

I think the sizing looks pretty good...once you get the rest of armor parts on, it'll look a lot better

 

[Robin Creations]

This is looking great! I think the sizing is pretty perfect

 

[Alkatraz]

That helmet looks very smooth.

Good Job.

 

[Meatwad]

Thank you all for your input. I've been looking at reference photos like crazy and i think I'm happy with the sizing now.

Quick update. I'm completley out of resin :'( but i ordered a gallon this time. That should last me a while. I've got the outside of the left bicep resined and most of the outside of the shoulder attachment.

This is what i was working on tonight. I went a little to heavy with the primer in some spots, but it'll sand down.





I think I'm going to try and kick the helmet into overdrive. I really want to get it finished and painted. I'm ordering the visor and fans next week when i get paid.

 

[Achronos808]

Looking good. Keep up the good work!

 

[SpartanCC]

Awesome man!!!

 

[NaasadTal]

That freaking helmet! Damn excellent work man!

 

[ErMaC]

love the bondo work. Everything seems to be sized right and is looking good. Ill be watching this build. Love Reach stuff

 

[Meatwad]

Thank you all for the continued support on this build and your very kind compliments. Tonight i finished pepping the right bicep.



I also started my newest project.



Can anyone guess what it is? Kudos if anyone guesses right lol.

 

[SpartanCC]

Hell I can't tell what it is. Backpack? M247H?
