Foam Rakshasa v2

[Negativecacti]

So I've decided to rework my rakshasa kit with new pieces, strapping, color and helmet for the time being.

I was happy with the initial build but since wanted some more details in the pieces and a different chest attachment and to align with more in-game coating. I went with the basesteal I always tend to go with green and tan no clue why. Tho I will be using my gen2 recon helmet while I tear down the Artaius helmet for the new paint, I did a very bad and quick edit of it but you get the idea.

And going with the idea of this set of spartans with the Rakshasa armor being out for extended periods of time and have to make do with what they can. I've made a hunter arm shield as makeshift portable cover / ballistic shield, also given the idea to do a severed arm cannon to go along with it.

I have gotten done afew pieces done, mainly the lower half of the body. I'm not remaking the entirety of the suit just most of it still not sure if I want to use the same shoulders or not, but I'm not using the odst shoulders. I'm open for suggestions on them

Thanks it take awhile for me to get seams just right

So I can decide what shoulder I want on my left arm. There are a few option I've thought about but not quite sure on but I've come to the conclusion with help that the right arm will get recon

 

[Negativecacti]

Came to the conclusion to do the SAP/CQC plate for my left arm and it kinda just looks right paired with the recon. And I also have the unfolds from infinite for said 2 shoulders

It's been a productive week, got cqc recon done and the spdr trapdoor took all day but got it finished. All that's left is the forearms and possibly remaking the chest plate not sure on that yet

Looking amazing, I'm not familiar with a lot of these rakshasa coatings nowadays.
amazing foam work on the hunter shield as well!

 

[Negativecacti]

Thanks and the coating is a cross core coating from mk.7

 

[Negativecacti]

It's been a little bit since updated, I got base tan and green on over the weekend. Also I thought the shield looks a bit barren in the middle so I added some details so give something and gotten it ready for paint

 

[Parzival]

Oh man is the shield detail looking amazing, the whole all of it, well done! I look forward to seeing the suit and shield later this year. Keep up the great work.

 

[Negativecacti]

Got the second coat of base color and the secondary tan color on, I might go over the tan again on the green pieces just to make sure it's not patchy. Then a black & brown wash and strapping everything. Still need to work on the undersuit for it

 

[Negativecacti]

Got alot done in the ways of small details on Rak 2. Had all the detail paints and black wash finished up friday night and started to pad, strap and now lace the lower portion. It's turning out alot better than I expected.

 

[Negativecacti]

Rigging needs fine tuning but pretty much done

 

[pinoyfiasco]

Love it! Everything's looking really good. The paint on those legs looks amazing!

 

[Negativecacti]

Thanks, looking back I could have gone with a brighter green but oh well. I wanted to match my gen2 recon green

 

[Negativecacti]

So I've decided to rework and remake the forearms and now to do the shins to fit better, ya know after they were both finished. But the forearms are more narrower in the wrist which fit better over all. Going to start on the shins this weekend.

 

[Negativecacti]

Despite the weather I was able to get both shins finished and everything painted this weekend so hopefully next week I can finish these and do a proper test fit

 

[Negativecacti]

I decided to make another chest plate because I just wasn't liking the gunk left over from the first one an finally attaches the trapdoor to it last night and hot damn do it look good. Now that the armor is complete its time do mess with the undersuit
