GOOD GODS MAN!!!!!!!!! You are a costuming and prop making genius!!! After reading this entire thread I now have a few ideas how I can build some armor for myself and my fiance. Thanks for all your progress pics, it helps to see everything in stages and then the final, glorious, blindinglyawesomewonderfuluberbad@ss product. Can't wait to see what you turn out next for us to drool over.
 
Nice work, it's looking good! How are you building the body of it though? The barrel is obvious, but how are you making the add ons?
 
Wow...that is one awesome looking weapon build you have going here. I cant' wait to so how it turns out.
 
i love this entire build its amazing. may i suggest for that commando helm to make the copper on it look more like whats on the chest and rest of the foam, i think it would look amazing'er lol
 
So freaking PRETTY! Awesome job so far, I am REALLY looking forward to seeing your finished assault rifle! You have also inspired me, I am changing from MkVI to MkV!!
 
Sir Nick Nack your work has made me want to attempt foam armor building even more. I would like to ask you a couple questions if u don't mind.
I plan on doing a white bodied spartan so would u recommend using the black foam then painting white or the white foam and painting all the secondary colors on? How did u put your body on? Did u cut it or something? Lastly, ur visor i plan on doing the EVA and thinking about doing the vacuuming method, how did you tent your visor?

I appreciate any help you can give and you build is no doubt my favorite of all the ones ive seen
 
Hello everyone. Sorry I have been MIA. I just had surgery. Ill be out of work till 12/29. in that time I hope to finish my EVA helmet and my Big A$$ Gun

When it comes to the color of the foam vs the White armor. The foam color wont matter, because youll have to plasti dip the foam, and plasti dip is black. The foam I used is mini cel. Its a foam rubber. It stretch over my body. no need for clips. For the visor I tinted it using a spray paint call night shade. Its the same tint people use on there head and tail lights. You can buy it at pep boys, auto zone

Damn man, how you feeling big fella?
Hope everything's all good now mate.

Good to hear you'll be working on the helmet and gun (I know I'd go crazy just sitting around till the 29th)

Have fun, Squish
 
Some things I have been working on.

So far the turret gun is about 8lb and 3 1/2 feet long. It wired to light up and flicker when trigger is pulled with firing sound FX

The AR is also wired to fire just like the Turret Gun. Its about 2 feet 10 inches, and about 4lbs. The counter also lights up.

Nice job on the guns they are realy starting to take shape
Also nice paint jobs on the helmet casts, I still need to finish painting the pilot cast I got from Blackula, BTW great job on the helmet
 
Awesome. Thank you, I appreciate the advise. That's been my main question is how to go about putting on the chest piece. Since I plan on following your footsteps with the mini cell all is better now. And I hope your recovery from surgery goes well.
 
Awesome work dude! Im curious how you made the additions to the AR, as well as the wiring. It looks great!
 
Booth the helmets and the weapon systems are looking great. The lighting on the helmets looks great too, but with it on I can't get a good look at the paint on them.
