After reading this site for 3 months I'm finally post my first Wip thread ...Here we go :

I downloaded a ton pep files trying to find my Halloween choice & I found this Balmung of the Azure Sky's Chestf>

So I bought some supplies & got crackin , to add to it I chose Mr Oreo's low def smoothed files for the helmet & i'm stiil choosing the arms & legs.

This what i did last night :

Primed it :

I printed out a stencil for my Foamies from a high def helmet to detail the low def one & paint it gold

Sadly the rest of th file greaves , gauntlets etc.. is not unfolded so i will have to make do with regular spartan parts that are tweaked a little .

Highlight reel:

Thanks Guys this place is so awsome . My other builds will have more TlC , I read somewhere you can add babypowder to thicken the resin will cornstarch work too?

OOhh, very nice work. Glad to see everyone is getting involved, the guys and gals.

Great work! for the shins/thighs Mr Oreo has some of the new model smooth hd files. They look great, and super easy to build. You can find the link in his thread in first post I believe.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are "diva accents"? I hope you don't mean like this.

no, that's not my lamp

kupokitty · Oct 24, 2009

...Fuzzy, sparkly armor...?

Kwydjybo · Oct 24, 2009

Wow, comming out great so far!

teletron1 · Oct 24, 2009

Mama was busy last Night

First painted my Torso gold (Diva Accents) & masked with electrical tape before adding black (it's Smoother on round shapes & peels clean)

Then after looking @ some ref pics the Chief's action figure I made stencils for my foamies for the backpack & the Torso.

Added woodglue to indents so it will look nice when I weather it .

Painted & Weathered the torso.Now I'm waiting for the backpack to dry .

LiQ- I just printed out those very shins & I'm modifying them right now Thanks

Dungbeetle & Queen - I'm realy feminizing the boots, cod & gauntlets , greeves by changing there shape . I Hope people will get a kick out of it !

rockthewarrior · Oct 24, 2009

That's awesome. Great job on it so far.

teletron1 · Oct 26, 2009

Cranked out quit a bit today . Only things not pepped are my boots & glove accents . I glassed my modified shins (buttons added to created depth under the holes) they are to wear over high heeled boots ( diva ) . I cover my work area with foil & saran wrap then I spray a thin layer resin mold release so my work stick to my table .The edges are trims with dollar store shears then I finish with a rotary tool .I took me 30 min to cut the space diaper in half :eek , but it's lookin good .While that was drying I pepped my Cuisses & Forearms. My daughter started to miss me so I finally stopped . Sanding & paint will be I a few hours. I think my husband is becoming a Armor Widdow ( He watches Our 1 yer old while I'm in the shop poor guy ) .

i saw in the title "with diva accents" and i was expecting to see glitter armor with tassels lol .. lookin really really good.. spartan in high heels is a must see

HaloGoddess · Oct 26, 2009

Lookin pretty cool there.

And this might sound funny, but the image of your torso with the electrical tape on it looked cool the way it was! lol The gold with the black tape gave it like a female warrior look! haha

The files you are talking about that are not unfolded......I know exactly what ones you are talking about. I was going to use those too, but after looking at those and the regular MVI pieces, I decided to just stick with the regular files and alter them as I have with many pieces in the past. I didn't like how narrow some of the areas were. Mostly for the forearms and shoulder pieces. My shoulder pieces are actually the regular MVI and female version mixed. I made the shins and had to unfold them myself. If I had paid for the license of pepakura, I could have saved my unfolded file of the shins and I could have sent them to you to use.

If you can figure it out, you CAN unfold the stuff yourself in pepakura, you just won't be able to save it unless you paid to get the password for it. It is a little tricky to unfold it, but if you have the time and patience, you can figure it out. Or if you want, I can try and give you some instructions so that you can unfold the files yourself if you REALLY want to use them.

Good luck in your build and I am very curious to see how that chest piece looks when finished. I saw that piece too, but I didn't like the curved vents so I went with the regular hayabusa file.

teletron1 · Oct 26, 2009

Thanks Goddess ,I may very well redo the paint job after Halloween & add a lot more detail Lights ,smooth up the helmet, Etc

I must say I am now hooked on this hobby . Expect to have your Brain pick for advice here or there . If you're unfoldin stuff already the skills you have must be mad indeed

.

Haru : I know teehee .Trust me I was tempted but gold paint & heels seemed like enough .

Castellan Craft · Oct 26, 2009

I just gotta say, this made me laugh in the best way possible. Looking quite awesome. Best of luck to you, and hope you have it done by Haloween. I'll envy you from across the great wide interwebs as I run around in my improvised out of the closet costume.

teletron1 · Oct 27, 2009

Thanks I changed my mind on the color & turn it shiny red

The ugly pictures were taken by my husband .

I have to finish glassing my boots & hand pieces & i'll be ready for strapping.

I'll take more once the Cuisses & handplates are painted tonight.

xavierjer · Oct 27, 2009

The red looks good. r u not going to do the whole bicep? i kind of like that look of just the top of the bicep.

teletron1 · Oct 27, 2009

That's correct

They will be nice sleek armbands & shins are made to fit over high heeled boots .

Right now it looks like my biggest prob will be getting everything to hang right.
