Hey folks! Happy summer!
I just got off school for the summer so that means more progress more frequently!
The first thing I did when I got home was work-out haha. Gotta get the bod into Spartan shape so I can fit in the Spartan Armor!
No actual ARMOR progress. But I got some WEAPON progress!
That's right, I'm getting back on the Assault Rifle!
Here is the remaining foam that I had to work with.
I also redid the ab plate, but with foam instead. the ab plate that I rondoed warped mid-cure so it looked really bad. But now I don't have to worry about bondoing it!
Okay now onto the AR! The main form I already had. It was a sliced file and I made the main body with three sheets of foam. Now with drawn on details, I'm now scratch-building the rest. With what foam I had, I was able to cover most of the embossed detail on one side.
The side "bar" on the AR had to be pieced together using the locking tabs from the sides of the mats. It's a little bumpy, but I plan on adding layers of the paint-on Plastidip to help cover it up.
That's what I got for today but this is the first of many!!!
Comments and critique are encouraged and appreciated!
Stay Frosty, 405thers!
