Noble team & mark VI build, completed

[Snelfo]

Here we are! after a long time of hard work we finally made it and we are proud to present the unique full italian noble team presented for the very first time at Lucca comics and games 2011

this was the entire team of friends of mine who made with me the whole project!

this is mine final result of jorge armor

we put apart the side project of a halo 3 spartan 2 due to univesity exams and other trouble, so the eod should remain a dream for now

probably we will start a new project of a master chief high def armor instead of the eod...

We all thanks you all so much for the technical and moral support!!

'Infantryman' next to someones name means that they have been an active member of the community, contributed to others builds by offering help and encouragement, and have built a nice looking costume of there own. How to become an infantryman: reach 100 posts or have a suit (or multiple suits) that are good enough to impress a moderator enough to rank you up to infantryman. With the way you are going with this build, it looks like you are on the right track

As for an undersuit, most people use a black under armor shirt and pants, or if you are willing to spend the money you and buy a motorcycle pressure suit. If you really want it to look game accurate you can make an undersuit yourself based strait off the game, like on LilTyrant's kat armor or Thorssoli's mark vi suits.

btw, the mark vi is looking awesome, the only think i would suggest it to sand some of the areas where there are ridges, like on the top of the helmet, the jaw/ cheaks parts of the helmet, and the bicept parts. Otherwise it tooks amazing! I subbed

 

[Snelfo]

thank you for your answer and for support!! i know i should have used some bondo (or someting like that) but i'm not very handy with that and i was scared of ruining my pieces, so at last i decided to avoid using bondo. Even extra time was needed and usually i don't have many hours to dedicate at this fantastic job sigh... ;-)

anyway i am going on step by step, and finally i have ended my helmet

i am wondering if i can make the second layer of the visor, but don't know if i could see trough two layers of visor-film-color-visor-film-color...

i have also finished to create the velcro-foam-cord system to substain pieces in their position and thi is the result

now i have two big problems: first of all FEETS...they are made of three pieces that don't mach one with each other...the result is really bad as you can see from the picture...
second problem is weapon...i don't even know where to start from...

The fact that you didn't use any bondo is really lifting my spirits in regards to my own build. I plan on using it and your suit looks better than most that DO use Bondo. Holy crap man. This is awesome stuff.

For the feet, it might just be a scaling issue.

Make sure that the boot is measured toe to heel in centimeters, than add a couple of more centimeters for the boot/shoe you're measuring to fit. Then convert the cms to millimeters and enter that number into the depth box of the pepkura designer. You can also use low definition files to get the correct sizing. As far as making the boot look game accurate, 3 piece boot is ideal. You want that top part of the heel to come off so you can actually put it on. Some people use plastic buckles, like Carpathia. You can also make a foam heed that is measured to the size of the pep, and strap your boot to it. I recommend just looking at Carpathia's build in the creation forum. His build is overall one of the best around.

I hope this made sense.

the idea of foam for the top part is pretty good...the size is right as it fit perfecly to my feet...the trouble is all in the upper part, maybe i can recreate it with foam...

anyway bondo make really good effects on rounded parts, but i find it a bit difficult to use to obtain best result..so i have used a dobule layer of rasin on the external side, than i sanded it a little, so the result is this...
