RoxyRoo's Chick Armor

[RoxyRoo]

I know you've already decided on a direction for the body armor, but did you consider something a little thicker/sturdier like EVA foam at all?

If you mean the stuff that Pete Mander used for his Elite, then yes. I'm way ahead of you. I already got a pack of 4 of them. XD I plan on using it for the chest piece, the cod, as well as the black stuff on the thighs. The more comfortable the better.

@Aether: I hope to finish my armor completely by January, and work on my weapons from there till May. >w>

@D@ WOO! I should get started on my A.I at the latest by December!

Looks great so far! keep up the good work

 

[ODST Blue]

Wow I didn't think anyone had ever tried to make the spartan armor from "The Package", which by the way I think looks awesome, but you seem to be tackling the challenge expertly, very nice work

 

[RoxyRoo]

Yup. I'm tackling the chest piece right now. I'm working with EVA foam (haha, the irony...).

 

[Ehekky]

What comes after you finished this one? Booster Frames? :rolleyes

 

[RoxyRoo]

F*** no! D:< I hate those crotch rockets...

looks good so far. Dont burn yourself out

ack. I'm starting to. >_< I have a tendency to jump into costumes that are out of my league. A poor judgment on my part. I'm starting to think I should just do a female Mark V from Reach. The files already exist and I can just use them as patterns instead of wracking my brain making my own.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just having a melt down. T.T

dont worry i had the same exact problem and all i did was played halo for a little and then went back to doing it and instead of rushing or getting frurstrated i just took things slow and it all fell in place and same goes for the bondoing and what not. the best advice is to take things slow and take your time

 

[Spartan S17]

looks really good

 

[Road Kill]

WOW the armor is coming along great nice job and good luck

@Alphadragon90:
Thanks for the encouragement. I just can't wait until this piece is behind me. It's already taken a month to get where I am on it. >_< Blarg. I'll work on it some more tomorrow. Sleepy times~ *goes to bed*

I once went on a date with a girl who confessed to me she "padded her bra". Later that night I was surprised to find that she looked exactly like this under her shirt. Tinfoil duct tape and everything.
Oh btw...

Holy snot how did I miss this WIP!!!
Nice work RosyRoo

 

[RoxyRoo]

Tin foil padding? Ouch...
lol thanks.

speaking of WIPs~ I'm finally getting the hang of this foam. I messed up the first bust piece because I forgot the first rule of foam: Heat and shape before glueing together. Ack. I had to cut new pieces out so I can start over. This is the last time! I'll have more updates once this chest piece is finally finished.

My friends have asked me what I use to cut the foam since I don't have any fancy rotary tools. I use my heavy duty CutCo Scissors. They're so awesome they can cut through pennies! XD (Endorse much? nah. I just love them so). It gets tricky around tight curves though, then I have to use an exacto knife so it doesn't tear.

 

[S42]

nice detail! I'm looking forward to see more of your project, keep up the good work

LOL I also own a pair of CutCo scissors from when my buddy was a cutco seller and you are 100% right about how awesome they are! I have cut thru pennies several times to show ppl that they could since they didnt believe me! haha

Nice job on your armor also!

 

[alphadragon90]

looking great keep it up

Very impressed with your build so far. Most are having a hard enough time with tried and true methods. Designing your own patterns and pieces not to mention picking a suit that no one else has made and Kelly has Awesometastic helmet by the way . Also like your duct tape torso method . Think I would probably need a case of duct tape if I was to make one lol
