First of all props, it looks sweet! Second, Can you give me the link for your Mk VI hand PDO? It looks nice and reliable and I think thats what Im gonna make after the helmet.

Hey, thanks! I got it from the all in one pack under the mark 6 HD folder

Click here for the all in one pack

It has a bunch of great files!
 
Well guys, finished peping all my arms, fibre glasses one forearm, resined one shoulder, other forearm and one odst shoulder piece (but made one that's bigger and works better.

Started on the legs, and finished one shin, but it was huge, I'll post a picture of it so y'all can get a good laugh.

Might work for a megaman arm gun lol
 
Hey all here is an update! Got all arms resined and an extra forearm fibreglased. Both shins and one thigh (little small) resined as well.

Here are some pics

Well had a very productive weekend. Fibreglassed all the pieces (minus thigh which still needs to be resined).

So in all got these done:

Both shoulders
Left forearm
Both shins
Odst shoulder piece
Hyabussa shoulder piece
And the base of the forearm attachment
 
Well its been quite awhile since I posted. My progress had slowed due to last semester. But now I have been busy! I have fiberglassed the thigh pieces and cut a bit to fit better. And I have pepped one shoe and the cod piece. I will post pics soon. I had to mod the boot piece to go around the black boots I have. Took me awhile to get it to look good.
 
It's great that you're still dedicated to the armour! A lot of people loose hope but still working through breaks and stuff. Looks good man, I really want to see how this costume turns out : )
 
Welcome to the 405th! For a first time pep builder, you sure are doing one heck of a great job on your pep models. Congrats on your first armor to be!
 
Progress update 6/17/2011

OK I said i would put some pictures up, and so here I am doing so... anyways. Ok! (also click for bigger pictures)

First off I have pepped the Mark VI HD Cod piece shown here:

Now here is the left boot straps Mark VI. I had to do a little improvising because the boot that Im using is to big for it to fit around so I jimmy rigged a piece to hold it together. Works pretty nicely. The first one on the right hand side I didnt put folds into so its a bit odd looking but got it down on the other side:

This is the jimmy rig piece... if you can tell!

And now Here is some progress on my Mark VI HD Chest piece... got 60 pages printed out, and have scored a little over 25 and have begun to pep it together. 39 pages are the actuall chest piece while the other 21 are supports. Its so many pages becuase well im a rather large guy and so had to up the scale a bit... had to do some trimming to the rest of my pieces to get it to fit right. Its quite fun!

Well I worked for like 3 days straight and finally for it finished!!!I need to still put in the support structures but most is done!

Here are some pics.

Today I also had my coomputer crash but luckily I was far enough to finish (except the support still need to look at it on the program) by figuring it's out via numbers.

Any who hope to get those on and do some fiberglassing

Well, I have finished the helmet! Here are some updated pics.

I hope to resin all my peped pieces today: cod, helm, chest, and one boot piece

9/18/11 update!

Ok well i havent posted in awhile, but I have been busy, so dont worry. Trying to make that Haloween deadline. It was foolish of me to think I could have made the one last year, but I got a whole month ahead of me. I have enterd into the Bondo/detaling phase right now. Its alot of work! I have finished... well almost finished my helmet and chest piece, a shoulder and forearm piece. But I figured I would add some pics so yall can see! I want to get my helmet done, but dont really have any paint right now... so oh well. I also solderd some led lights and a fan for the helm too!

that chest looks HUGE. and the ODST shoulder is way too small, and it sits up ON the shoulder piece, not above it.

Well thanks. I scrapped the ODST shoulder because liked other ones. And yes I know it sits on it, in an early picture and was just testing out the build. Um yes it is big but im a big guy and it works. Thanks for looking
