  • Reach Armor WIP

    #1
    I am going to be making Jun's Armor from Reach and I have 4 other friends that are going to be doing Carter, Kat, Emile, and Jorge. I have taken a hand in using clay but right now I think I will only do a few thing that way it will mostly be Pepakurka so that is why I made the thread here. Right now I have been working on a handplate here is some of the progress this WIP will be a little slow in progress for a while I am planing to get this done for my local con next year in may and to bring to Dragon*Con next year with the rest of Noble Team hopefully. Well it seems the forums are only allowing 4 pictures per post right now so instead of making many posts for just pictures right now since it might be fixed later I will post the most current pictures and a picture of the version one cast I made.



















    The version 1 cast








    Version 1 on the left and version 2 in progress on the right


    Current standing for version 2


    Still much to do on it but let me know what you think.
    Jun's Helmet to come soon and Reach AR will be starting soon out of foam

              Ok since Adam increased the amount of pictures that can be in a post to 15. I updated the first post with some of the older pictures I had of the hand plate and now here are some of the new pictures.



              after making this I noticed more things wrong so now there is a version 3


              It is a little thin


              Version 3 It has been made thicker and has bee curved a bit for the hand


              You can see the slight curve


              and it is thicker


              Making the new mold out of latex and you can see a side project of my Soul Eater teeth


              Ok so I hope this verison 3 will be the last until I sand and smooth the cast out better that the clay could be then I will make the mold out rebound 25

                Nice work, I'm new here, so I'll be making a Halo Reach armor out of pepakura.
                It'll turn out fine, I hope, so yep.
                I hope it will be finished by launch.

                  Here is an update I have some cleaning up to do on the cast but I plan to make a two piece mold when I am done cleaning this up.

                      Here are some pictures of Jun's helmet that I am making finally some Pepakura.
















                      Edit: More progress on the Helmet still need to make the add-on for it









                      I was wearing the helmet here but I guess when the whole room is dark and your wearing a black shirt it looks like a floating helmet

                        I some more to update with I hardened the helmet using Smooth-cast 300 I wanted the test the method out and I like it but the 300 gels up to quick which I knew would happen but it was all the store by me had on hand when I went there. I plan to order some 321 to harden the outside and still use the 300 on the inside since it worked great just slushed it around and done.

                        Outside done in Smooth-cast 300 1-layer


                        Inside done in smooth-cast 300 1-layer




                        I did this as a test fit and it almost fits with-out having to split it so that is good
