Glad I could help you out with the stuff to work on your outfit and Hirgon keep up the good work I think all that needs done after the shoulder is the helmet not sure if the legs had any plates as I have'nt seen the movies in a while, MKS81 feel free to take your time and anyone who unfolds you at least have diffrent unfolds that a person can choose the best to work on. As for sites that you can go to Goosebot5000 there are two that come to mind on me which are http://www.colonialmarines.net/forums/forums.html and http://forum.alienslegacy.com
PS and woohoo I finally got past 1000 posts on one of the 15 forums I belong to, LOL.

OK......the kids went to bed early so i got some extra time to myself.....and here are the shoulders.
If i understand Pepakura, all i needed to do was one set of shoulders. Then invert the pattern and that should make the other side. Anyway here they are.
Left Shoulder

Right Shoulder
http://www.hirgon.com/Pepakura Files/Aliens Marines/right_shoulder_unfold_h1rg0n.pdo
They are scaled to a width of 310mm, i printed off the first piece, put it together and it is very close and shouldnt require much adjusting.
Off to start the helmet.
Nintendude- There is no armor on the thighs....just shin armor. Once i get those done i will work on the add-ons like the helmet camera and the shoulder light.

OK was'nt sure if there was armor on the thighs or not, but sounds good that everything is going well.

I'd love to see you down there for DCon wearing this Goosebot I finally got all my arrangments set up last week and I hope to have more than just my Mark VI done, working with a few sculptors at the moment to possibly have a xenomorph done in time maybe. So far just the head has been sculpted next to work on the chest and appendages. But the suit will be pretty well form fit.

does anyone have any solid reference pics of the armor without any of the strapping and paint?
Stilgar Hammer sent me this link to a set made of metal. I dont know how screen accurate it is, however it looks really nice and gives alot of pictures from different angles.

Hirgon if there is anything I can assist with on the unfolding I would be more than happy to help you with this so we can move on to the predator stuff next.
So here are the shins....this was the wierdest unfold i have ever done, but should result in a very smooth build. However if it doesn't I blame coffee, coca cola and way too many gummy bears..... :eek Once again I unfolded one complete then just inverted the image. It has been scaled at 500mm (50cm or 20 inches)

Helmet is going to be a while, as stated earlier it has something like 15 separate meshes that intersect all over the place so trying to merge them all AND get something usuable as an unfold in Pepakura is whats taking so long.

Looks good to me Hirgon, may be a little hard to build but it should'nt be too hard for someone to make it.
