    The Dh Project #748

    #1
    EDIT:
    Progress is ongoing and steady updates. I need advice on how some of these are scaled! offer please.

    I did a lowdef helmet cuz my last ODST got smashed in a move so i wanted to get one back quickly, but after inspection i noticed it was missing key details.


    IMG00299-20110822-1633


    IMG00300-20110822-1633

    So I had an Idea; to splice on the details from another model, this way I get the ones I want without having to commit to a fully high def model :P


    IMG00301-20110822-1633

    IMG00302-20110822-1634

    I think it went in nicely


    IMG00305-20110822-1648

    Then this was the progress with the torso


    IMG00310-20110825-1904

    IMG00326-20110829-2149
    And the little detail I was proud of doing XD


    IMG00327-20110830-1637

    This was when the torso didnt have the back finished so dont get excited just yet


    IMG00325-20110829-2004

    And this is it done, now it IS a little big. I lost my master scaling skills in a year


    IMG00329-20110901-2034

    So i wanted to cut the sides and bring them in so they dont stick out so much, and trim a little off the shoulders for better mobility. Possible?

    Looks good so far, I like how you made a low-res helmet but added certain hi-res details on it.

      Redid the torso at scale about 2 inches shorter on the sides, its pepped and getting fiber glassed. I'll put up pics when its done.

        I've noticed this as well, there has been a bit of a decline with responses to WIPs. The same thing has happened to my build (granted I haven't had an update for a while) but after over 350 views, there were only 4 responses.

        Beyond that, your pepping skills are great. I personally would have started over on the ODST helmet and wasted a ton of time rather than what you did and incorporate HD portions that you need. Good thinking. Can't wait to see more pics.

          Your not alone there, I don't receive a large amount of replies like others, and right now my wip is up to three posts in a row >.< The helmet looks really nice, especially with added details.

            Almost there I'm fiberglassing the chest piece, but i'm in all honors classes so im lucky if I can work on it a hour a night I'll edit later with what I have so far. I suppose Ill start scaling and pepping some other pieces

            OK well here are some pics,

            My awesome work station XD


            IMG00346-20110907-1723

            Oh and I didn't tell much of anyone But I had To rescale My chest piece So to celebrate it actually fitting now. . . Here are some details of the old one (which I might sell now)


            IMG00343-20110907-1722


            IMG00345-20110907-1722

            And a trouble area


            IMG00344-20110907-1722


            The only thing is I tried to modify the sides to fit better, But im gonna end up reprinting out those pieces and repep 'em onto the piece.


            IMG00342-20110907-1722

            And the actual progress


            IMG00341-20110907-1721

            If anyone wonders why it looks like that. . . I use aqua resin.


            IMG00340-20110907-1721


            I don't like double posting, so im doin this. Chest is all fiberglassed and the resin is sanded down some. I'm goin to wall mart tomorrow for foam, and a couple other things. Expect a bunch of updates SOON!

              Update!!

              Chest is actually almost done being bondo'ed,


              IMG00350-20110910-1429


              IMG00349-20110910-1429


              IMG00348-20110910-1428 b


              IMG00347-20110910-1428y

              If you notice the bondo is coming up in some places, Im gonna just superglue it down. still haven't gone to walmart though, I'll probably do that tomorrow. Bondoing is SOO much easier this time around. Experience right?

                  The chest file he used should be in the Halo Reach file thread, along with almost everything else.

                  Great work though! The chest looks great. Your limited to like an hour a day and doing a lot more work then I am. Although I'm lazy when it comes to chemicals and cutting.

                        I have progress!! I got the chest piece split then realized my fiberglass in those area's did not fully go down.

                        -_- *sigh* So i'm workin on getting those places supported and others. I'm haulin A$$ tonight I want to get it done and detailed, Stay tuned for pics later tonight.

                        EDIT

                        Well I didn't get everything done I wanted to, but I got damn close.

                        I've been working on the bicep pieces last week.

                        I left out the couple details in the left bicep cuz I either dont like 'em or since im gonna pep some add-ons you wont see them anyway.

                        then my dogs got in to a BIG fight 10 lb Papillon Vs 30 lb cocker spaniel (despite what they say sometimes size DOES matter) and messed up my thumb.
