Umm hey there I'm new. Uuh yeah so I'm starting on a project right now to build a Stark Jegan costume and I was wondering if i could get some ay or nay on wether or not my plan is good.
So I already know pepakura and making costumes, I've helped a couple friends with Halo costumes and 2-3 stormtroopers. I also have access to Vacuum Forming.
My plan to do the costume is going to be, make the non extra armored, Jegan type D (if you look at it, the stark jegan is an upgraded one)
For it I'm gonna use the Alex model here for the chest, upper/lower leg, upper/lower arms, shoulders, feet, and backpack. Basically the whole thing but the helmet. For the helmet I'm gonna make a Halo... i think the recon one, but its a helmit that looks just like a jegans head minus the antenna and the camera on the top (but those i can add pretty easily).
Things I'm planning for the rest of the body to redeux the alex to be like the jegan, Chest I'm just gonna flatten over the vents on the breasts, and where on the alex the cockpit has a dip in, the jegan has a bulge out, thats not too hard to change by hand.
Shoulders I'm just gonna do a flat over the bolt looking part, then after i fiberglass and bondo it ill cut little thruster shapes into it.
Upper arms are just fine, same with upper legs and the codpiece. lower arms I just will make a flat over the side where the wrist gatlings should go, (ill keep the cardstock for them though cause i can build that into the starks added armor sections).
Lower legs will basically be the same only with not building thrusters in a couple spots, then building them in others, which is all gonna be done in the fiberglassing phase. Also to get the rounded shape of the front of the shins I'm gonna sand them down to have the curve after the bondo.
Feet ill have to customize the hell out of the alex ones because theres no real similar ones I can find around. And for the hand plates I'll just use some off a halo costume.
So basically my project for now is the regular jegan, then ill build the extra addons for the stark upgrade. Uuh ill post pictures as I progress through making it. for now just what the 2 phases of my build are gonna look like in case you don't know.
Ohyeah and sorry if the pictures are too big for the forum or somthing, i can go and change them down to somethign smaller, but no time, off to work.
Oh yes and might I add, I've got a lot of experience using engineering softwares like Solidworks and Inventor. What model types can people use to make pepakura files, because it shouldnt take too long for me to model something, and I know I can output .stp files, and i think .obj.
So if theres anything someone might like for a model to make a pepa from, i can work on a little something for ya.
