So far I've pulled five castings and there's a sixth in the mold. I still need to prototype the rear sight and adjustment knob before I can send any out. PM me if you're interested in more info.
I don't really have a good answer for that one. I suppose if you really want to end up where I'm at, you just spend a lot of time reading up on methods and materials and then spend the rest of your...
Yesterday I decided that this thing has been sitting on the backburner for too long:

After a bit of fine-tuning, I went ahead and...

Soon I'll need to pull out the forms for the...
There's a lot of other cool stuff in that issue too.
Here's a video preview from their website:

I'm still making things. I just keep getting distracted with other projects. Rest assured, I'm still tinkering with the rest of the RvB characters when I get a chance. Just recently I finished...
The molds are set up so that the hands that I've made can be re-made into articulated versions. The problem is: given the size difference and the linkage involved, they wouldn't be strong enough to...
I haven't posted here in forever. For that, I apologize. I've been busy with a few other projects.
To make up for it, here's pictures of my helmet upgrade in progress:...
This guy?

I made that too. If you were at PAX Prime, it was at the Hi-Rez Studios booth all three days. The good news is that I...
Anybody need one of these?

PM me.
I got a close look at this suit at PAX. The photo does not do it justice. I'm usually not impressed with foam builds, but this is exceptional work. Very well done!
These ones?

They're pink. No way around that.
Secret project is actually two projects. One is mostly red. The other is mostly...
I'm trying to get together some cash to mold the rifle. PM me if you'd like to help out.
I was actually pretty much set on the name "Jarvis."
I don't think Lopez will get jealous. He'll still have plenty of larger, rougher pieces to work on. In fact these past two weeks he's been...
Two of my guys were there. Matt was there in the Dark Angels suit and Trevor was dressed as the UNSC trooper with the sniper rifle.
Not really. I'd like to, but I'm already having trouble...
I keep forgetting to post that I've finished the molds for the new medium-sized torso. Here I am wearing one of the raw casts:

Not at all ridiculous. When I did the AR it worked out to be four and a half days of work to cut it all out. My own machine only cuts in three axes and is limited to about 1/16" resolution, so it's...
I've written up a short version of the build on instructables.com and entered it in their "Make it Real" challenge. You can see it by clicking HERE.
Check it out and vote for me to win the...
Just found this one from tested.com: http://youtu.be/IU8AUNhGLBU
I like it much better because they were much more focused on the how-to aspects of it all and the interviewer didn't bungle it up....
Is anyone making progress on the BE Pathfinder armor?

My guy in the suit had a lot of fun with the interviewer.
The rubber bits are done the same way. The elbow is permanently strapped together. Since I needed to get in through the knee to strap the stilts onto the wearer, I had to make it so it could come...
