Hey guys!
I made this account a while ago and was too busy working on things to update with any projects I did.
I started making a Gears of War 3 armor with a friend of mine for the release and conventions to come in the future. Heres all the work we have so far.

Pepakura front and back, then a fiberglassed piece with rough clay, finished clay front and finished back.

This is the silicone mold I have for the back

And this is the mold for the chest plate

This is what we have so far.
Currently we are waiting for expanding rigid foam to show up, so we can finish the armor casts. Thin plastic layer of polyurethane plastic with rigid foam backfilling.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
 
Decided to restart

I decided the molds and plastic casts didnt exactly achieve what I was going for, so I restarted the whole project. I saw a lot of users making armor out of foam mats, so I gave that a shot. Let me know your opinions or if you have any questions.

Just need to touch up some spots on the boots, add the browns and blues in, then details.

Chest needs more variations in the blues, touch ups, browns and details. But its coming along!
 
please files!! I do not speak English if not I understand what you say

Im so sorry I never answered this. I cant seem to find the exact Pepakura files I used before hand, but I know its an anthony carmine pepakura file. If it helps any, there are a lot of gears files here, you might be able to find all the files you want here. Anything that says GOW3 or COG before it is gears. Good luck!

Beautiful work man! Keep it up! Just a question though , What do you plan on doing with the molds?

- Jacob
 
Very nice job on everything man! The build, the weathering, the paint, it looks fantastic. Major kudos to you! Can't wait to see the rest of it.
 
Beautiful work man! Keep it up! Just a question though , What do you plan on doing with the molds?

The molds I still have in my garage. I honestly have no idea what I will be doing with them, they arent built to last too long, they arent made of profession grade materials. So Im really not to sure what Im going to do with them.
 
Finished

Here it is finished!
I only have a few photos from when I was at PAXEAST, Im planning on doing a few more photos when I fix a few issues I had with the armor. But enjoy for now!

NOTE: The gun is the the Retro Lancer you could have preordered with the release of Gears of War 3

Also, I was going for a generic COG armor, but wanted to make a helmet. I couldnt in time for pax so i just got a pair goggles I had laying around and went as Baird. I may make the helmet, or I may modify the armor to be more like baird in the future.
