Absolutely stunning work!

This is looking great.

EDIT: So, I was thinking about the torso armour. I'm gonna have to Pep it, I think what I'll do is pick a reach file that doesn't have any nonessential detail and sculpt the detail on, then mold it with caulking and use Smooth-Cast 300. But We'll figure that out when we get there.

It's really starting to come together now! Looks awesome! The front chin really that flat? I don't have any refs so I can't tell...

[Ronster]

[Roadwarrior]

[Shade88]

That looks great, and yes I can recognize that horrible chief face anywhere. lol

 

[Roadwarrior]

So to today I hope to figure out a way to build up the visor portion without using to much of my extremely dwindled clay supply. Witch might not be possible so then I'll need to buy some more.

 

[Roadwarrior]

I have come to the conclusion that yes I need to order more clay to finish the helmet. I have also been thinking of how I'll be attacking the rest of the build, Sculpt the gauntlets, biceps, thighs, shins and boots in a way you only need one mold for each. Then either A) Foam chest or B) Pep'n' sculpt then mold for the chest Or secret option E .

 

[Roadwarrior]

Sorry for the continual posting, just kind of bored and somewhat tired.

Thought of adding the chin bubble from CE to the helmet, I think it looks alright but it might make the chin too cluttered with detail. I'll leave it for now and decide what to do at a later state.

I have decided on Option B) will be using L3X BLU3R1V3R's chest with some post pep modification.

 

[Shade88]

That looks great!

 

[Roadwarrior]

Thanks, I ordered another 20Lbs of clay, I'll be pep'ing the chest while it ships.

Also, Twelve or Thirteen tubes of caulk at 4$ each containing 10 Oz each wich would be roughly be one gallon(So says the conversion charts) at a price of 48$, X2 is 96$. that's at least 75$ cheaper than Rebound 25, Although I still have not decided on what to use.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Cut out all the pieces last night.

Still can't get my head through the hole after widening it some :/

 

[Roadwarrior]

Woot.

EDIT:

OK, I won't keep posting, this time I'll edit.

I had been searching for some Iridescent paint like in CE

Closest I could find was a Gold/green called " Kryptonite Gold" http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/pac/pacrc297.htm

And pics of how it looks on a model VW bug:

I think I'll grab a can and see how it looks.

 

[JUSTINIAN 117]

That's looking great. I think the bubbles on the side look good.

For the paint, I went to an auto paint store, and had a custom metalic green made. Check my signature for the thread. If you are interested in doing the same thing, I can send you the exact colors for an auto paint store to match for you.

 

[Roadwarrior]

That would totally boss if you could send it to me.; Is it a formula or some actual paint chips? Did they give you a Spray Can or did you have to use a paint gun? I have no experience what so ever with this.

Anyway, Pics.

I'm going to scrap this collar and sculpt on a new one more game accurate when I get to that stage, currently it's a good support strut.
