Hey, thanks for checking out my build! I'm loving your work, it's just epic! I look forward to seeing the finished product!

This week I'll be peping the boots, and by next weekend I should have pic's up of them in resin. 5 working weeks left to Halloween. Things I have left to do padding on all, foam work on chest, Visor and lighting on helm, finish boots,5 coats matte finish. Attach all add-on's to parts,and last but not least, Nerf long shot paint. The race is on.

If you ask why only 5 work weeks? Wedding Anniversary in Sept. and Wife's b-day in Oct

Thank you,
Hopefully I'll have most of it done by mid Oct. then I can start re-fining it a little.


Well here's what I have done this week end. Hopefully I will have both pep'd and resin'd by next weekend.



So till next week, Dream, Build and Live.

I like the boot pep thorn. I feel it looks so much better than the MK.VI boot. Great work buddy.

Thanks, It's the best I could find. I think it will look great in the over all image for this Spartan.

I really like that file too. I was planning on basing my foam boots off of it. I have to say Thorn, this build gets better every time I review your progress. I can't wait to see the finished work.

Thank you, Sir. Coming from a perfectionists like you that really means allot.

Thank you. And oh yes it feels soooo good getting this close to finishing the basic suit. Once I get done with the Halloween and the con. tho, I'll have to really start looking at builds like you'res to see what the fine detail should look like.


That said as I look at all the post that have come in during this build. It's nice seeing all the master builders out there supporting me on this long journey, as well as all the others whom have posted. It's meant allot to me and has even kept me motivated and even inspired me when things have started to get hard. So far this build has over 200+ work hours and still growing. Looking at how far its come and how far it has to go.....Well lets just say its been worth every hour.

Thank you. Thorn

Edit: Finished second boot in pep but due to weather I was unable to fiberglass it this weekend. I will post pic's next weekend.

 

[thorn696]

Boots rondo'd and primed. Helmet now has visor.( I went with the easy screw in method so I can change it out later.)



I also picked up a Nerf rifle to be painted later so I have something in my hands while I walk around. I'll be sanding it and prepping it for paint.

Do to the MI weather tho I won't be able to paint anything else this weekend. You have love that rain.

The visor looks good, man.

 

[Spitfire22V]

Love how the helmet looks with that visor in Thorn. Keep up the great work, so many of us are anxious to see this build completed. :cool

Speaking of rain, this September here in Maryland is just about the worst/wettest one since I can remember. It's been raining non-stop! :angry

 

[Pipinacan]

Awesome work, really love the finished helmet's look. THORN!!!! JUST THE BOOTS LEFT!!!!!!

Been the same down the coast from you Spitfire. It is killing my kids desire to stay after school. Everyone just wants to sleep.


Thorn, everything looks great. The boots are looking really good and the visor ties the helmet together really nicely. Keep it man.
