I've kind of fallen off the radar lately. I stopped updating my original build thread. Reason? I stopped building my Mark IV EVA. Quite frankly, it was just too hard to create a suit without pepakura patterns. I've switched to doing Reach Mark V. I didn't want to post until I got something relevant to show. So here's what I've been working on.













Size to Me comparison:




The chest piece is a mixture of the game model and the live action one that SavageGiggles got to wear (the one from the commercial). I decided, it's my armor.. I'm gonna do whatever the frak I want with it. hehe. (yes, I said Frak. BSG rules.) The white foam on top of the EVA foam is regular Craft Foam. People I see on other build threads sometimes complain about not being able to get the detail they want because the bigger foam is so hard to shape right. ... so work smaller? Seriously, 405th needs more craft foam.

I still need the lower part of the chest peice, like the belly plate and the spine, but I'll update again soon with those.

Oh yeah! I also did some hand plates.

LOOKS AWESOME ROXY !!! I will have to get some tips from you and i missed the meeting tonight but I'm reach now . talk soon

[Rosh]

Looking most excellent. Having seen your craft foam prowess first hand, I can say without seeing this in person that the detailing is top notch. Now I really want to work on my armor... nothing like friends that inspire you.

Chest plate is looking great, as well as the detailing.

[RoxyRoo]

Thanks guys. <3 I'm not a large person, so I had Kirrou's help with the sizing. And yes.. details. Yummy awesome details. Muahaha

Hey Rosh, are you coming on Wednesday?

[RoxyRoo]

UPDATE

Finally got around to my biceps. Most of the guys haven't been coming over to build, so my inspiration has been rather low. Plus i had the (fun) distraction of going to SabotenCon as Link and Lightning.

These still aren't fully completed. I can't finish working on them until i have access to a dremel. >.> But this will do for now.

Close Ups:





With my Chest:






Even though I accounted for the foam bending, it's still a bit tight. >.> I need to dremel the inside down a bit to make room for my under suit. I plan on having, I think, the recon shoulders? Whichever are the triangular ones. >.> One of those will have a knife attachment.

Yay updates. <3

This is looking really good. Great work so far. I think the scale is excellent.

[Slins]

this looks really good! hopefully you can resolve the sizing issue successfully

your lines are looking really neat for sure I can't wait to see this completed

edit: Nice shield in the background

[CrazedOne1988]

I'm loving the detail. keep it up!

You're build is looking great. You're foam work is impressive.
