Spi Armor

So, to my knowledge, I am the first to post a thread about SPI armor build...
Thx to spartan 051 for the model and to box o crayons for unfolding.
After 3 days progress(and 6 bottles of Sprite)This is what is achieved:

Need to go buy some fiberglass resin and start resining&glassing the helm.
Next will be the chest.

I like that SPI Helmet in all but the ONLY thing I didn't like was that they forgot to model in where the visor begins and where it ends.

Great helmet though keep it up dude.

The visor hard to tell because it blends into the body of them helm

But great job on the build cant wait to see it finished

It's looking good. I think that the visor is gonna be pretty hard. If you have any experience with vacuum forming that may help out.

Yep, It's a build thread now.
Not experienced in vacuum forming, but i gotta learn.
The rest of the armor(-hands) are a B1tch to make, but i think the only way to go is fan-art.
(there was a guy at blenderartists who had a complete 3d model made. I had all the photos on my old hard drive, and when moved to my new com, I couldn't open the files.Anybody experienced in this?help appreciated.)

No prob. I'd been looking for these recently too. I guess it helps to know where to look.
