Hi 405th,

I got my first armor commission when I cam back from Europe over Spring Break. A friend of mine contacted me through Facebook and he was interested in an ODST suit with a Halo Reach...

the acetone softens the plastic on contact, any use of it destroys detail and after prolonged use, it begins to embed paint chips into the plastic itself, it is a fantastic way to ruin hundreds of...

Acetone works great! the only problem is that it melts the model underneath, I believe that most nail polish removers have this compound in them and the ones labeled as no-acetone are just alcohol,...

Now this post maybe not as related to other armor projects I have going, but surely someone can help me with this paint problem of mine!

Recently, I purchased over 50+ Space Marines with...

This is amazing, I am going to have to find a friend with a laser cutter!

Wow, I really like your method, especially at the very start. I'd always gone the sliced weapon way, but it would seem that this would be able to achieve a much faster turn-out time for a basic...

If I hadn't read this thread in its entirety, I would put money on that helmet being molded, not peped, I can't believe you bondo work turned out so smooth! I never knew it could get that smooth!

Ok, I'm almost done, after hours of work I just have to- AHHH-CHOOOO!

I LOVE this EVA foam stuff! So much better than pep and fiberglass! And I think in is faster too! although I don't think you can make good molds from them though :(

I love the shoulders dude,...

Sir, I salute you for taking the time and patience to assemble a pepakura weapon!

At first I was like :| meh, then I was like o_0 wha... then I was like :O ooooh! and then I was :D awesome!

I couldn't help but notice that you have incredible helmets just dangling off the...

Hi 405th!

For anyone who happened to see my first Razor thread, you might know the back story to this. My ex-girlfriend (who I am still very good friends with ;)) loves Johnny Depp movies, her...

Wow, if I had a massive amount of disposable income, I'd buy all their stuff!

Wow, you can put all the details right in with the piece right there! I love the hands! I tried thinking about what to do for those for a fantasy build of mine, and I couldn't figure out how to get...

She looked like a regular female marine with a cross on her shoulder, I think.

wow, your house seems to have a dungeon!

You must have a massive molding operation here! At least for the helmets. By the look of the storyboard teaser that you put out a few months ago, we might be expecting more ODSTs in your production!

This EVA foam armor is tidal waving into popularity, and why shouldn't it!? comfortable, flexible, easy to work with, and capable of forming works like this in skilled hands!

Standard shocks and suspension are SOOOOOOOOO 21st century

Sliced weapons are the way to go! No need for interior strengthening! Just bondo and GO!
But call now! and....

The sliced version is very nice. I tried it with the SOCOM ODST pistol, and I...

The sheer attention to detail is what makes this thing truly amazing!

Good work! I've never seen someone do this before! I would have thought that this would have been easier as a scratch build.

EXTERMINATE!

Holy crap, is it hard to move with all of that? It looks like Space marines have WAY more armor to contend with than SPARTANS

Your ability to work with foam is truly amazing, I love the goggles! shame that they are for fore-head only, I have been trying to get some light up goggles to see through, not having much luck!

Sooooooo.......detailed.

brain exploded a little, excellent tut, I hope it gets stickied!
