LOL!! Yes. Beware female spartans. >w>

Heck yes. that is totally a shotty. <3 If I can't have a sword, I try to have shotgun. I'm having a huge battle on deciding my secondary weapon(s), but yeah, the one on Runt's back is the DMR. As for being an artist, I've been drawing way longer than I've been costume-making. I'm actually working as a free-lance illustrator for a movie right now, which i'm excited for.

The shotgun is way to up close and personal for me:p I’m just too nice to pull the Trigger when I can look them in the eyes but if they’re wearing a helmet that’s okay ;) I prefer accuracy by volume so heavy machine guns will always be the weapon of choice. I’m also struggling with what my second weapon should be I don’t even know if Jorge carried one ??

I also saw where you have a whole team of Spartans down there working together. I am really jealous !!! My Spartan production facility up here is staffed one adult and two kids and I’m just thinking about how much more I could get done with a few other good people around here
PS what movie are you drawing for?
 
@everyone. Thanks. It's nice to doodle... during class. lol

^^ yeah. It's nice when they're actually here. Many of them haven't been able to come and work on stuff in a while (work, school, distance, etc). We're all working on our own armor pretty much, but having friends near comes in handy. Have you tried doing a shout out to other people in the area?

A movie that's not worth mentioning until it's further along in production.
 
Finally something to update with!

Legends' hand plates are rather large. They extend to the knuckles and all the way to the wrist. I made these with 3 layers of craft foam. I worked on these while my friend models the chest in pepakura for me. .... yeah. I gave up. I've had it with that thing. I've tried, failed and wasted a lot of material already.

Wow. I really don't know how I missed this thread, especially considering how long you've had it going. This really is spectacular. If we still had wip of the week going, this would be something i would like to see up there. Props to you miss!! (yes, pun intended)
 
@Brandon McClain:
yeah. I get that a lot. People are more interested in fast-paced threads than slow ones. Thanks for noticing my thread. lol
 
Man.. sizing is soooo important! Even this pattern was a bit too small, so I added a cm on each end of the foam to make up for it. Yay more progress! 8D My cod piece (which I've lovingly dubbed, my "operation chastity belt" lols) is under way!

1) Pattern/Hip comparison:

2) Messy work table is messy.

3) All cut out and mostly glued. Now I need to sand the edges of the foam. This is EVA foam with Foamies on top.

* Note, each segment is still separate. I noticed on Kat's armor (worn by SavageGiggles) that it's all separate pieces held together by a belt (assumingly underneath). I'll be doing the same. To make sure it stays on my hips, the belt will weave in and out of loops both on my under-suit and the armor. :D This will probably make it easier to take off, ..and use the restroom.

I've been thinking that instead of doing a full bodysuit that covers the entire torso, I figure my chastity belt is thick enough where I can just do pants and tuck the "shirt" under it. This will also make it loads easier to use the restroom. PRACTICALITY OVER ACCURACY!!! .. but I'll try for both.

Sorry for the bad photos. I misplaced my camera and had to use my phone.

That first pic looks like it belongs in an anatomy book "...okay kids, THIS is where Spartans keep their ovaries." HaHA! Nice symmetry on the new pieces Roxy. lookin' good.
 
This might just be one of the cooler things i have seen in the time i have been here / personally I normally only make weapons out of EVA foam. I might just make the arm parts of the suit im working on out of EVA, since they aren't comming out the best in cardstock form ( sad i can't rondo anything cause its winter )

thanks. Foam is growing in popularity here, so it might be a good way to go until the weather warms up.
 
I NEED HELP!

I haven't gotten anything done in a while, for mostly reasons called "life", but there's one piece of my armor in particular that I can't do on my own. My EVA Helmet. I need someone who'd be willing to make a Pep for it. I have ample amount of HD references for it, provided by the link below.

Kirrou offered to do it for me, but some complications came up and he no longer has the time. I guess that means i need the unfold too. Is anyone willing to help me with this?
 
I think i know wat you could do for the helmet, try modding a eva (C) helmet from reach
as far as the modeling, i'm affraid i can't help you. my modeling sucks pretty bad :p
 
When I can, I'll make one for ya!! Workin on somethin for Troubleis1983 at the moment but when that is done I will start the helmet for you!
