Starting a new project SM Terminator powersuit

[claire]

Hi just starting a new project, I'm into Warhammer 40k and especially like the Terminator armour, after a long search I managed to find a 3D model suitable to break down and turn into Pepakura.

I'm still editing the model but here is a little preview of the unfolded inner and outer shoulderpads, i've also included links to the Pdo'd incase anyone want to have a play.

Inner Shoulderpad:

Outer Shoulderpad:

Here is a preview of whats to come













Not sure where I got the model from but glad I did, I have had to break it down alot due to all the different armoured parts but will update this post as I finish the sections.

One thing I do know is I need to work on placing the cutouts better so forgive the current crude version.

Tips are definitely appreciated.


Update finished the left arm minus the fist and moved on to the Helmet, had some issues with it but found removing the ear peices, and the front detail helped.

So here is the basic SM Terminator Helmet, the extra detail can be added later as I'm still working on them but they will be posted seperately when done.

Glad there's some interest in this here's an update

I have finished Chest armour plus the extras like vents and access pnls, left upper and lower arm, left shoulder inner and outer armour. I have also done the right leg armour. I have included some more pics and the files for them.

The biggest problem I see will be scalling it big enough to look accurate but small enough to wear. the hight of the armour makes the width to wide for human size so it might be best to build then adjust after. I'm pretty sure I can adapt it once built using bearing to mount the shoulder pads so they are attatched to the suit but free moving with the arms.

Will keep you posted with more soon

Do me a favour though guys if you build it post pics to let me see how it turns out. As soon as I'm ready to build and have the first peice done I will post too Thanks

This looks badass. I think I'm going to start one as soon as I complete my Reach armor.

Another update, posted some stuff twice so removed from previous post, instead here's the rest of the left arm.

[Artek]

Tips are definitely appreciated.

For the record, this model was done by Obiwan from the 3D Heretics forums.

Anyway, IMO the detail level is a bit too high for pep but I give you points (or cookies) for tackling this project. Good luck in editing the file. Just make sure that you get rid of the intersecting planes inside the helmet.


EDIT: I just downloaded the basic helmet file and you did quite well in dealing with the intersecting planes and excess polygons. I would have preferred that you kept the "steps" in front of the helmet but overall, still a good job. I can see a Deathwing terminator (1st Company Dark Angels Chapter) with this one.
