So what don't you like about Squirrels Version of the Mark V?...If you made a mold for Squirrels version I would pay the expense to pump out one more. Seriously. It would help my suit along!
I'm not sure what it is exactly. It just seems like the proportions are a bit off. All of the details are there, it just seems like it should be longer and narrower. That said, I sliced the model up, tweaked the proportions a little, and had Lopez start carving it out this morning. I'll update my
Reconstruction Caboose Helmet build thread when I've got some pics to post there. It's been over a year since I revisited that little project.
PS, saw that you made the front page on HBO, very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you post a link?
On a different note, will you start another build or futher refine this one? You pointed out that you're missing Donut, Tex and Tucker, and about Caboose's helmet. What about Wash or the Meta? Or maybe Noble team? Just throwing stuff out there. I want to see more or your work!
I've got some more weapons I plan to make. I'll post updates on those in
my weapons thread as I make progress. I just started the BR55 the other day and when that's done I've got at least one or two more great ideas I don't want to brag about until I've got something to show for it. Stand by for more on that.
I also plan to refine some aspects of the suits I've got as well as finish the characters we haven't got. I do have the Tex suit built, but both of the ladies that had offered to wear it out on Halloween ended up cancelling on me. I've got a guy for Tucker, but I have yet to build the suit.
My shop assistant wants the Donut suit (pretty much just because it's pink) and so far we've made her a helmet, boots, half of the diaper, and the waist section of her undersuit. I painted my Ithaca EVA helmet to match the Meta and one of the guys is really excited about making a Wash suit, so there will probably be more to come in that department.
Not sure if you have seen this yet, but my friend sent me this link from stumbleupon.com

Yeah, that blog entry got all over the internets. I usually get about 70 to 120 hits on my blog every day. The day after I posted that I got 54,176 hits in one day! Crazy.
They come from the bowels of the internet, where 13 year old teenagers are pampered and spoiled by their parents, and expect everything spoon-fed to them...
Funny thing: he still hasn't posted anything else. I guess I was right to ignore that one.
Ask and ye shall receive.
First up, my sister got her helmet a while back and finally got a chance to go down to the armory on her base and send me a few pics:
Then there's also a few more pics which friends have posted to their facebook pages since HALOween. For example, here I am at the ATM before we started drinking:
Here's some drunk chick who's boyfriend wanted pictures of with us:
On a more wholesome note, I kept getting stopped by high school girls who had to pose with me:
Here's a couple of the guys mostly dressed in the workshop:
And finally, here's a couple more embarrassing pics from the build process:
Stay tuned. Sooner or later I'll get a professional-quality photoshoot of the lot of us...
