Team Build : Halo Reach - Carter , Jun , Jorge , Kat , Emile

[tinopenotti]

Hello ,

At first i want to thank the awesome people that inspired US to do this ,
and have provided us with stickies , and tutorials , that makes this possible for us.

I do not know if this is a new concept,
but 4 friends and me are starting up a Team Build , of the characters from halo.
It was easily divided , as everybody already knew who they wanted to build :
Carter - Joshua
Jorge - Joep
Kat - Ilse
Emile - Alain
Jun - Tino (Me)

I know that people often start a thread after they finished the first pep ,
but because this is also a support point , AND our agenda , i will be doing this now.

Our planning for now :
October :

Wednesday 26th :
File check , we will check if we have the best files available to us.

Wednesday 26th - Friday 28th :
The paper arrives for the printing of the Pepakura files.

Friday - Sunday :
Printing , and starting out with cutting , and Pep it On !

I will not yet set future agenda points , because i do not know how fast we can build in a group , and school isn't helping!

Now , for the Dutch people out there ( I hope there are ! )
we will provide product information , where we bought this in holland.

Will post updates at least once every week ! ( we WILL post updates everytime we accomplished something )

Critique , ideas and suggestions are ALWAYS appreciated!

RESEARCH UPDATE 25-10-2011
As far as my research goes today , ( as i have to wake up in sever hours to go to school )
Arioch , has told me that Foam is much cheaper and when you have mastered it , it is faster. . . . ( Watched most of the video's in the link below )
http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/34364-Videos-Making-foam-forearms-and-paint-job

And it seems . . . this might Actually be better indeed , with us not having that much money. . .
so i will talk about this tomorrow at school !

Thank you again , Arioch for making these video's !

Good night you all !



ANOTHER RESEARCH UPDATE 25-10-2011

I showed the Pic's of foam builds , and they are excited !
Also , our paper Came in early ! *Yay*

but after serching the internet for multiple hours , i was somehow a little discouraged , when i could not find what foam is best used , and available in holland !
PLEASE SOMEONE KNOWS A NAME OF A PRODUCT ?!?

we'll be starting the printing In a bit ,
and after that the first Pictures WILL appear !

Happy Buildin' !

You sound like a man with a plan
As for eppakura files, this might be a useful link

Thanks for the link , i believe it will help a lot !
As for the build : WOW , Amazing !
Happy Buildin' !

About the plan :
Yes.
i really like planning builds , i made a AER-9 laser rifle from fallout , slightly different , but with a working trigger and all !
i really hope this will work out !
And thanks for the link ! Much appreciated !
Happy Buildin' !

Just a tip.... foam armor is a time and money saver once you get the hang of it.

I still pep and make hard helmets, but the rest is all foam now.

Thats a big project, enjoy yourselves!

Thanks for the tip !
especially from a expert like you ,
But foam is easyer to ''break'' the paint , right ?
i haven't really been talking about foam build ,
might do that first indeed , but does that work with pepakura or ?
anyways ,
Thanks for the support !
Good Buildin' !

[Inheritor95]

Man this sounds awesome cant wait to see how everything turns out.

 

[tinopenotti]

Thank you Very much !
Yes there will be Pics soon , end i thinki might even throw in a video how i did it , so you guys can tell me where to improve
come to think of it ,
this won't be the fastest build , but with 5 people , and five different suits ,
When we get to the hardening , we should have loads of pics Every day !
Happy Buildin' !

Sounds like an awesome project, I will look forward to seeing its progress. Good luck!

Inspirational to us all. Myself and a few mates are starting 3 custom builds. I had not thought of doing a group WIP thread but the idea sounds self fulfilling.

Thank you very much , it's a big compliment !
i believe , putting up a WIP thread with friends is the most fun thing ever ,
and you get the double pressure , so you won't stall/stop/make your armour less nice than you want to ,
i am new to this , but I'm so excited !
Good luck to you and your friends !
if you start up a thread , or made some pictures/progress , i'd love to see it !
Happy Buildin' !

Finally ! I get to build some trash !

Alrigt , i got the foam !
Well , i think it is . .
and i got the glue !
well , i think it's the right one !
Today i went to some sort of furniture shop with my dad , and came up with these :

As you can see , i am quite small . . . any ideas how much i have to rescale ?
( notice the hinge on the door )

as far as files go :
some files seem to be Very much more detailed than other , so the probability is that we do a low-res build , and add the bits and pieces before we paint !

video's have been helpfull ,
Everybody has been helpfull !

Will be updating soon !
Happy Buildin' !

I think that's the foam, but i have tobwarn you, foam sealer (plasti-dip) is hard to het in holland ans its rather expensive. I think it would make no diffrence with the regular way of building
