Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm gonna try to do some rondo tomorrow, and then post some pics of that, I might even upload a pic of one of my minis to show how I'm gonna paint it! :D
 
Really clean build man, Good job. aprox how long did the helmet take you? i was actually just about to start it myself.
 
Alright, time for an update!
I finally got some time to do resin and rondo! All that I have left to do is maybe one more coat of rondo in the inside and then a little in the cracks of the outside of my helmet. I took a picture of myself holding the helmet one-handed so all of you could see just how FREAKING ENORMOUS this thing is!!

*UPDATE (probably the last one of the day)*
Today I peped one of the Space Marine pauldrons and it's awesome! It's perfect size compared to the helmet, which means it (much like the helmet) is huge!

I really need to work out more, I'm so tiny compared to my armor! Lol :p

Well if you're asking what armor part I'm gonna pep next, I'm probably gonna make either the other pauldron or the chest piece (which is gonna be a nightmare :angry)

This is a great pep job on both the shoulder and helmet. You using craft robo to cut it out? if not I know your feeling, I did the similar helmet which was a fail from my end.
 
@commissarhartman: Not necessarily, I could wear my helmet at this size, all I need is to pad it with 1 inch thick foam. If you think about how big a real life Space Marine would be (7 to 8 feet tall), then you'll see that this is a perfect replica.
@red_mist88: Thanks! And no, I cut it out using my exacto knife.
 
wow dude looks awesome , and how the heck you did it with no edge id's , i like the pic with you wearing it standing side ways you cant even see you lol
 
That's really sweet. I'm going to follow this build for sure. I collected Dark Angles back in my 40k days too. I really want to see an Asmodai pep someday. ;)
 
@braytak: I assemble my models backwards, making it so the edge ids are inside and not outside.
@xhimpei: Thanks! I actually was considering making an Asmodai suit (because he's my favorite Dark Angels character) but what made me wanna make a normal Dark Angel Space Marine and not Asmodai was simply the design of the Space Marine helmet. It's one of my favorite helmet designs from a game. I think I might make Asmodai armor variants that can be switched with the parts on this suit sometime soon, and if and when I do I'll be sure to contact you! :)
 
Nice Helmet. I used to be into Black Templars but I lost interest in them but this thread is making me interested again and making me want to make a space marine costume. Well done.
 
That's new info to me I thought the UltraMarines were first.

Commom misconception Ultramarines are like the space marine poster child. They're the vanilla ice cream of the marines. It is however one of the First founding 20 legions created by the emperor for his sons. As for the Dark angels they are listed as the first Legion but im pretty sure they were all pretty much created at the same time.
