Hey everyone, long time no post.
So last year, I posted about my attempts at making Mk7 armor out of foam. Well unfortanately for me life just didn't make that possible, I was working 10 to 11 hour days and my Ender 5 decided that leveling wasn't an option and eventually died. All these factors plus the fact that foam wasn't something I was good at, kinda destroyed my motivation.
But now I have somewhat gained enough motivation and a new printer and printed out a few successful prints.
Well, let's just say I'm feeling very motivated at the moment. So now onto a sort of goal list
- All armor pieces will be printed instead of foam.
- Hopefully have it done before Brisbane Super Nova.
- Sew my own undersuit.
- Have some sort of electrical mic and light system in the suit
A little updated preview of the spartan.
You may notice that this spartan is rocking the Gen 1 Mk6 undersuit as its the most non futuristic looking of the undersuits that wasn't covered in straps. (cough cough Rakshasa). I really want to try and replicate it to sort of look like a more modern and tech less suit.
Also has a holster for a Sidekick prop that I'll also print along with an assault rifle. Files collected, just got to print. I decided to change the wrist blades to a more Predator style weapon. Kinda kit bashed by using a Mk5B forearm piece, but I might try to model it myself instead of using such a piece.
Hopefully this project leaves the experimenting stage and actually comes to reality. Thanks for listening and supporting.
