Destiny Hunter build! (First ever Foam build; Scratchbuild (Sorta); Pic heavy)

Hey guys!
So since the Destiny Beta was closed, I've been suffering a serious case of PDW (Post Destiny Withdrawal), and with nothing to fill the hole left in my heart (until the full game comes out), I've turned to cosplaying my Hunter Guardian from the Beta, which can be seen below:


I've begun working on the armour, starting with the chest piece, which is this one:


Seeing as there aren't any pep files that I've seen, or any foam templates, and I have some foam left over from other projects that I started and never finished, so I decided to make some templates from reference pictures. I'm not the best at this kind of stuff, seeing as I'm no artist, and I'm trying as hard as I can to try and be true to the outfit, this is what I have so far:






*Sorry for the sideways photos, I don't know what happened there*

This is my first ever foam build on this level, so I'm still trying to figure out how to work it all out. I cut out the shoulder as well (the big one) but I kinda stuffed that up a bit, so I'm going to work on that later in the week. I also tested out a Hunter Knife, seeing as I'm hoping to add some prop weapons to the build as well, but the test run was a little too small, and 3 cm shy of the actual in game size (which I found from when Bungie posted the reference pictures).

I'll be working on this over the next coming weeks, so I hope you guys enjoy!
Until the next update, I'll see you guys later!

Hey guys!
Just a small update, I've just about finished building the upper chest part, and now I just need to sand it down (although I did some of that before I put the black half circles on) then I can leave it for a while. I think I may have accentuated the little detail parts at the bottom of the chest a bit too much (seeing as it's not like that on the model, but oh well, you live and you learn) so I guess there's that.

Here's what it looks like now (I may have over used the hot glue just a tad )



I'll work on it a bit more over the next week or so
Until the next update, I'll see you guys later!

Hey guys! Just a quick second update for the day, just before I go to bed for school tomorrow. (Like my signature says, I'm a 16 year old Aussie secondary school student)
I started work on the boot (seeing as only one has any armour really) and this is what I've done so far:


That's it for today, but I may be heading to my aunts on the weekend, so I'll talk to her about working in the fabric sections, and the under suit, seeing she made an assassins creed costume for Armageddon last year. I also managed to cut myself for the first time ever while cutting the two pieces out (just a little scratch cut, so I'll live )

Until next update, I'll catch you guys later!

Looks like a good start! I am interested in trying a Titan myself and would love to have some Pep files but am Fairley new to this. BUNGIE has detailed model pics up of every class now at http://www.bungie.net/7_Artists-Reference-Portal/en/News/News?aid=11987 I hope to maybe get started in the next few months... If anyone is good at creating Pep files I would greatly appreciate if they could make some off these reference pics.

Hey guys!
I've been sick the past couple of days, so I haven't really done anything on the costume, but I've just about fully finished the upper chest and the leg armour, which can be seen below:







As you can see, I've just about finished the leg armour, which, once completed, will hopefully be attacked to the boot by Velcro, so that it has the look of no straps, like it does in game. I also added that little line bump to the chest piece, to make it 100% completed, just about.




As you can see, I tried to seal the edges with a light application of hot glue (seeing as I'm getting used to how much hot glue is needed, and how to use the gun and what not) to give it a more uniform look, and it came out really great! All that's really left armour wise I think is the shoulder, the helmet and the under chest section. I'm going to see if I can make a Ghost as well, seeing as I found the files for it, and see about the under armour.

Until next update, I'll catch you guys around!

What's up guys! So I haven't done much lately in terms of the costume, until just recently. I finally tried my hand at making chest armour, and this is what it's come out as so far. It's not done yet, so hopefully I can get it done over the next couple of days, shape wise.




I'm debating whether to make a helmet for it, or just have a 'social' style hunter. If I do that, I'll add the helmet later on in the future. I've already cut out the shoulder, I just need to work on that, and get some boots for the legs, then get my aunt to help me with the under suit.

Until next update, catch you guys later!

you should build the helmet to go with it. the helmet adds a lot to the overall look.
