Not open for further replies.
Hallo 405th I am finally back with an update!!! So after a few setbacks and a busy schedule I finally have an update for my costume. As of right now I only have the chest plate done but I am working on the other segments as we speak. Also I have begun work on hand-plates for my costume... seeing as my pithuahua ate my normal gloves. Any way I have to get ready for Ufest 2014 so I will leave you with some pictures.

I used a custom unfolded version of Monkeyfuj's model. You can get the original on the official Database Here: Fotus Helmet

Also while I am here I will say that's I am almost done with my Ricochet chest and I have started to resin my armor.

I've got one more question, because of the horn on the helmet what method did you use to scale it? Wouldn't one run into the same hight issue as the Hayabusa helmet?

Within Pep Designer, use the "measure between two points" tool and measure the inside points where your teamples/ears are and back of head to your nose. This will ensure your head fits in the helmet.

BTW the Hayabusa should be about 360mm high ;)
 
Awesome, thank you! I'll be starting this tonight or tomorrow depending on how many more hours I kill trying to find the Ricochet shoulder armor.

You can find the model HERE but you'll have to unfold it.

Anyways, back to this thread! haha. It's really looking great, Zero. The chest piece looks like it came out very well, as does the helmet.

Thanks, I finally finished all of my armor pieces (other than the hands) and have now begun the resin process on my armor. I will begin to post more pictures as I finish the resin on each piece and then Fiberglass them.

Very nice!

Thank you :)

The Helmet Looks Great I have the hardest time with my pep helmets.

Thanks man. helmets can be the hardest, after all they quickly become the centerpiece of the armor
----------------------
UPDATE!!!

Okay so ALL of my armor is resined an on its way to being fiber-glassed/Rondoed. I have both of my knee caps done at the moment and I have started on the shins, For fiber-glass I plan on having the boots, shoulder, biceps, and thighs fiber-glassed; the chest is hybrid, helmet and forearms will be rondoed.
As for the Under-armor I will probably NOT have it done for PXCC but I will have it done for Halo Xbox One.

Finally I have begun work on a new H4 AR.

Update!!!

So after a hectic week for finals and other issues I finally got a chance to work on my armor. With PHCC coming soon I have to move to a rush build, however I plan on going through and refinishing it for AACC and the Halo release for this year.

Right now all of my armor is resined and waiting to be hardened but for the pieces that are finished I am replacing parts of them with craft foam, which I will then seal with resin.
My helmet has had the visor cut out and I am working on getting some tint for the plexi-glass I have. I plan on adding lights after phcc but only time will tell if I can add some sooner.

On to the pics!

Looking good Zero. Was the chest a pain in the to build. Also what is your paint scheme.

Thanks, I am going to go with a primary color blue and secondary grey; as for the Ricochet chest all I can say is that it was about an average difficulty build, other than the 'Tanks' on the back, but I built them separately then attached them, so it wasn't too difficult.
 
So I have been busy this past bit, working on getting my suit finished in time for Phoenix Comicon. Due to the time constraints my costume has been moved from being a very through and exact project, to being a rushed build. I plan on going through and re-finishing all of it with a layer of bondo and re-painting all of my armor. As for what I have done I have my helmet painted as well as a shin and both knees and I also Rondoed my torso and I have it ready for paint and mounting.

Your build is coming along real nicely!! I've been following your build for quite some time now. I like you choice of the Mk V for the shins as I've done mine by freehand. Hope you'll check out my build too!! (I havent been updating for a long time because of exams and i put my build on hold but will resume within the next week or so)

OMG the Fotus helmet thats awesome!!! Keep up the good work!

Awesome helmet!!! can't wait for the end result.

Thank you for the positive feedback, and I am proud to say that my Helmet is FINISHED!!! After slicing up my fingers from cutting plexi glass I finally have a visor... of just tint, ya I gave up on plexi for now... it hurt anyway I also put my ODST shoulders together, but I might have to redo them from the start when I refinish my build after Cominco.
ON TO THE PICTURES.
