Whats up 405th Ka5p3r here, its been a very long time sense i have posted on the site. i have been keeping up to date for the most part but not doing any posting. i thought i would show everyone what i have been up to over the past few months sense dragon con. i am working a Flame thrower elite from gears of war 3 as well as my wifes Sam armor from gow3. i am going to post the way it looks now and might create another thread of the full builds later to help people with theirs own builds, anyway here are some pics as the stand now the locust is about 90% and the wifes sam is about 75

I think this is all im going to post as of now at the end of today ill post pics of my wifes build she has been working hard on it sense the last time i took pics so i wanna make sure i post the up to date ones, i hope you guys like how its looking.

Also just so everyone knows the armor is all Foam and the suit is a latex suit i did in the same way the guys at the lair do their predator suits, if you wanna know anything just ask

i can understand that buddy, hats of to you on the amazing work. The onlt reason i asked is because i made a Locust skull prop and am looking for a helme tthat will do the ugly bastard some justice, and i tihnk that might be my guy, so i suppose ill try my hand at it. I also make predator skin, so if you ever need anything for future project hit me up big guy. Go to my profile and see the skull for yourself. Again. Just amazing mate.

*jaw drops*..... Wow. This is intense. A wedded COG and LOCUST. Great work. I was hoping to get a simple COG suit for my girlfriend built but running out of time for SUPANOVA. (Might make her a stranded). This is awesome though! Looks like it has that steampunk element to it too!

I was super impressed with your locust build as you know, and now the COG armor, thats some great work buddy. Inspiring me to make a locust/cog combo for my wife and I. Keep up the goof work brother!

Very very nice. How do you go about making the templates for these? Been trying to plan out a Recruit Clayton/Anthony/Marcus frankensuit for a while now.

Both suits are quite simply amazing. I saw your locust go together on the hammer and I knew it would be redonk. With that said, the paint work on your wifes armor is amazing. SHe has mad skillz. Everything looks great!

I'm blown away by both of the armors. Especially the Locusts. As for Sam, I know my armor will never compare to yours because yours is just amazing. Like, whoa.
