Shadowshail's HW2 Mk IV Build Thread (pic heavy)

[Shadowshail]

Hello All!

So it has been years since I have really made any progress on any type of suit. I was able to mostly finish my sniper rifle but that is even still a WIP. With the help of some amazing people providing help and supplies and printers, I am cranking out a suit for Haloween. I have the hours and print time, as well as printers and even a little bit of time in case i need to resize and print new pieces (barring big pieces).

I will be getting another case of filament in soon as well as a plastic welder with the staples as soon as i can to make sure this suit comes out super strong since i had to cut up the larger pieces.

All of my files are from Titlewave and darn do they look soooo good.

Help has been provided by DeltaAlphaZulu Angus314 and OFiveTwo, thank you all for your help and support as I finally crank this bad boi out!

And now without further ado here is the pics and status!

Files to be printed:
ALL PRINTED

Undersuit is to come as time goes on...

I have been pushing my FLSUN V400 a good amount and now have most of the shins done, half the butt plate, the back piece, and 3/4 of the helmet done!

I also got in the plastic welder tool and the staples and have been going ham to finally firm up all these pieces!

I have already been advised to turn the staples for more connection and stability and will be doing that where i can.

Halloween look in this post! Lots to do and im currently upgrading strapping from some spots in velcro to actual quick release buckles. I think i need to resize the biceps or figure out a little overlapping but i didnt get the last piece thats supposed to go up against the chest in and it was still super loose. Other than that its just some padding issues that are easy to solve and then im off to sanding everything down and making them smooth and getting rid of layer lines so i can repaint professionally with lots of layers and a good protective coat on the top!
