wow! that paint job on the chest is just amazing!! this is really an amazing build!

 

[Arioch]

Hey man, That chest is epic! Its epicness is of epic proportions!

I must know how you are getting such clean cuts, I started with foam last night, and my cuts are NOTHING like that! I mean, I can sand them I guess.... but yours look like they are cut so clean its unreal!

And the helm is in great proportion with the chest. GREAT WORK!

Curious...thought about under armor much?

Well its great to see a update from you. You're new parts are as expected....amazing. You're foam work is just out of this world.

Im kinda rushing out the house at the moment. But Out of the goodness of my heart, Im going to to leave you guys with updates.

looks great!
mind sharing the foam templates (for the shoulder+shins)?

 

[DangerMoose]

Drool. Is a heat knife necessary or can I get clean cuts using a knife and scissors?

heat knife makes it easier but you can still get clean cuts with a utility knife. I use dollar store ones in my build and so far they turn out great. just gotta use a sawing motion when you cut them out for cleaner edges. but if you mes up that's what a rotary tool and a fine sanding bit is for

Nick Nack,
You never cease to amaze me. Your attention to details is top notch in the models. Your paint work is just icing on the cake. Keep up the awesome work.

 

[DETHANIEL]

I am so glad that I am rebuilding my suit because your amazing-ness has put it to shame. Seriously, your build is beyond ridiculously great.

 

[workbook51]

I'm speechless :O

 

[Russett]

How the 7734 did i miss this!! iz amazing!
VERY jealous of your work sir! very inspiring!

 

[Starvinartist80]

Okay so I just looked back through this post again and for the life of me I don't know how I missed the chaingun build. It is Fraggin amazing as always.

Do you have any plans on how you'll work the visor for your helm? I would assume vacuforming, but knowing you I'm sure I can expect some genous yet simple way of solving the wraparound visor problem.

 

[EMAW09]

I might have missed it earlier in the thread, but are you using 3/8" thick mini-cell foam?

 

[Jonus]

Speaking of visors.... it would be awesome if you could figure out a way to make it a haunted helmet. I'm not sure how you'd do it. I guess the easiest way would be to leave it less tinted in the center and have a skull underneath. Not sure how bad that would obstruct your view. It's was a mask that fit your face but also fit under the helmet that would be perfect.

Just throwing that out there, since you're doing a pilot helmet.

 

[Arioch]

I am so curios as to what you use to make your cuts! How is it so clean???

 

[TD2253]

Amazing work as always! Looking forward to seeing your work and meeting you at SDCC11.
