Largen is back! And a new MKIV build....

[Largen]

Just like the title said! I'm back, after the forums went down and I moved three times my old suit got put on the back burner, and ended up getting destroyed...

SO again!
Started work a few days ago, this will probably be a slow ish build due to working full time and life in general... But this will be a full HD fiberglass pep build, and should have a pretty damn nice finish, pics will be coming in the next few days here.

But hello again people! I will keep you posted!

 

[Largen]

Ok so double post sorry, here is the start!

This is blurry sorry.....

The helmet should be complete (pep anywho) tomorrow, not sure what I will start on next, shins maybe?

 

[demo084]

yup, that 110 paper looks a lot smoother than my posterboard.

 

[Largen]

It works really well... It should be done tomorrow, of so I will upload a few shots with my good camera to give ya a better idea

 

[Largen]

Well if Anyone checks here, I noticed I have a typo in the thread title... Aaand can't find where to edit it, so help? Ha ha

Progress update!
Helmet, too small! Ha ha so I stopped work on it

But that's what it looks like anywho! I kile this file alot,looks super nice and is VERY strong so I just need to scale it up a little bit.

Right Boot pepped, may be a touch small, will say for sure in a bit, no pic sorry

Right thigh, pepped! Seems to be bang on size wise!

Test fit ^

Completed... ^

I'm happy with it! More to come!!!

I'm not gonna lie, when I saw Mk IV (Mk 4) as the title, I got really excited. I assume you meant Mk VI, lol, but it still looks good so far.

 

[demo084]

Your advice on superglue was spot on. Besides gluing myself to a few of the pieces it was a lot quicker and really slick. Liking the MK VI.

 

[BlueFreeze128]

I'm amazed you used super glue, it definitely will hold the pieces together. I would be too afraid of messing it up lol, keep up the good work! looks great!

I totally did, my post above yours says so ha ha I just realized but I don't know how to change it ha ha ha I'm such a fail LOL

@demo084: glad it's working! And ya ha ha you do tend to get glued to your stuff ha ha ha

@BlueFreeze128: it's freakin awesome once you get used to how it works, and when you do it's SUPER fast, but you do tend to loose some skin to the pep ha ha ha, and thanks! More updates in a few days, busy with work for now though

I hope to complete my other shin on Friday here... But that's a bit ambitious as I will be super tired, but we will see!
Thanks for all the comments guys!

Out of curiosity, what size was the helmet when it was too small?

 

[Largen]

@Corweena:
Height 265mm
Width 231
Depth 342

 

[Corweena]

Ahh, ok. Looks like the default height. I scaled my helmet to 282mm in height I believe. Hopefully its big enough. If its not, then I'll use it as a practice model to hone my Bondo/fiberglass skills.

 

[Largen]

Ya, I went off my original helmet i build a few years back, but apparently I DID scale it, thought I didn't ha ha what do ya do eh?

 

[socom]

Looks totally awesome. I am a little leary of the sizing on my helmet build. Can't wait to see more.

 

[craigsoup]

Looking good so far. Where'd you get the retro-looking Kit Kat bar??

Thanks! And it's just from Halloween candy ha ha

@socom: meh, it's not too bad, the way I see it if its wrong, the next one will be better optimism ha ha

 

[Skullptura]

sucks when they are too small. Glad to see you didn't give up!

Takes alot more then that for me to for up! Have to with pep! It's torture sometimes ha ha but the finished work is so worth the effort!

progress!
My left shin is 99.8% done just need to glue the supports in and the four circle indents on it!

Tomorrow I will Redo my Boot and hopefully the scale is right this
Time ha ha so in the next 4 days I hope to have two completed and correctly scaled boots! And maybe working on a thigh (better be at least)

AND!
I got the girlfriend into PEP, she is trying out a Kat helmet and if she likes it were going to make a "Kat" variant, basically just a female spartan ha ha so if she keeps on it I will post her progress here too!
I have the best girlfriend In the whole world ha ha.
