CyberBen Spartan 019 Mark VI wip -FINISHED!-

----- FINISHED! see pictures on pg 8 -----

Hello fellow 405TH'ers ,

I finally decide to do a wip thread, I started a blog post last year but I find the blogs is misused.

I came across this site in 2008 and love the idea of making me a spartan suit, so I started small, a H3 frag grenade the pep was nice but after fiberglassing it felt to big so i scrap it. Then I tried a low def Mark VI helmet, again the pep was nice but I didn't had the good paper so it warped when I resined it.

So since my peping skill was good enough i went for the HD Mark VI files. But has I was peping stuff and comparing it with my 12" McFarlane figure I realise it was missing some details on the HD files, not much on some like the bicep but a lot more on the belt/cod piece.

So I started to add the missing details on them

the finish pieces

The Cod piece

The back of the finish cod piece

As you can see I put a lot of details and this mean a its a slow proses cause to be honest I don't work on it every day, being the father of 2 and working full time, and all life put you in the way, my spartan build comes in last equal to playing video games. But I'm trying hard to finish it this summer.

That's it for now I'll post more pictures later

Looking forward to your new pics. Nice clean pepping and those finished pieces are amazing! They almost look like they belong to Mr. Longshot's suit. Excellent work, keep it up!

Thanks for all your good comments

@ Serepheth : life don't get me down, all I meant was: I'm not 14 living with my parents and nothing else to do is play video games and building armor. but if I was 14 again that's possibly what I would be doing

for the lights in the biceps its 1 blue LED 2x5x7 mm in a box made of balsa wood with silver paint inside, a switch and 3 calculator or watch battery's.

hopefully i took some picture of my setup.

and now, more pictures
a side view of my cod piece.

and the front.

my gloves.

helmet peped and resined.

at the bondo stage.

after the primer, more sanding, a couple layers of paints, double layer visors, 4 outside LEDs, 3 smaller LEDs inside and 2 computer fans oh and some craft foam for more details here is the final product.
