I've kind of fallen off the radar lately. I stopped updating my original build thread. Reason? I stopped building my Mark IV EVA. Quite frankly, it was just too hard to create a suit without pepakura patterns. I've switched to doing Reach Mark V. I didn't want to post until I got something relevant to show. So here's what I've been working on.

Size to Me comparison:

The chest piece is a mixture of the game model and the live action one that SavageGiggles got to wear (the one from the commercial). I decided, it's my armor.. I'm gonna do whatever the frak I want with it. hehe. (yes, I said Frak. BSG rules.) The white foam on top of the EVA foam is regular Craft Foam. People I see on other build threads sometimes complain about not being able to get the detail they want because the bigger foam is so hard to shape right. ... so work smaller? Seriously, 405th needs more craft foam.

I still need the lower part of the chest peice, like the belly plate and the spine, but I'll update again soon with those.

Oh yeah! I also did some hand plates.

Looking most excellent. Having seen your craft foam prowess first hand, I can say without seeing this in person that the detailing is top notch. Now I really want to work on my armor... nothing like friends that inspire you.

UPDATE

Finally got around to my biceps. Most of the guys haven't been coming over to build, so my inspiration has been rather low. Plus i had the (fun) distraction of going to SabotenCon as Link and Lightning.

These still aren't fully completed. I can't finish working on them until i have access to a dremel. >.> But this will do for now.

Close Ups:

With my Chest:

Even though I accounted for the foam bending, it's still a bit tight. >.> I need to dremel the inside down a bit to make room for my under suit. I plan on having, I think, the recon shoulders? Whichever are the triangular ones. >.> One of those will have a knife attachment.

Yay updates. <3

Great job Roxy and kudos for using the craft foam. On that note, with a little planning you may even be able to hide unwanted seams using the craft foam. So, yeah I agree, we do need more craft foam. (why did I just hear Christopher Walken in my head when I typed that? lol)

I got a feva, and the only perscription....is more craft foam....

Roxy, first off your build is looking sweet, and a lack of inspiration is the worst thing ever, but I really wanna see this build get finished!

Where the files you used for your biceps a female foam file? If so, is there a thread you got them off of? Got a lady friend suit for next year in the making and her arms are quite skinny
