http://www.405th.com/[ATTACH=full]138736[/ATTACH]Greetings fellow armor makers. I have been costuming for years but I have just decided to try my hand at armor making. So what better place to learn than from seasoned pro's. I have begun several projects. Yeah I know I should start one and stick with it. But I am bad at doing only one thing at a time. I must do several things at once. So here I am. Hard at work. Please leave comments, hints, tips, etc. I look forward to completing some great armor pieces. Currently I am working on a pep MC MK6, Warmachine, Hyabusa Helm, and IronMan. I have also bought the supplies to make a foam armor Noble6, and ME N7 armor. Here are a few pics of what I have gotten done so far. Hope ya like. Sorry if I don't give credit to the owners of each pep file. There are so many great ones. I honestly forget which one belongs to whom.

Good to see you posting over here! Now I have one more place to bug you about getting your suit done! Looking forward to seeing more progress pics, somehow someway we gotta get pics all suited up together.
 
Nice pep work. And if you have Drgnfyre4 giving you advise then we know this is going to be a build to watch. Keep us posted.
 
Just a couple of things to add. I may post a WIP thread just to keep up. As always comments and tips welcome and appreciated.

Wow. For one, all of your peps are VERY clean. Two, you have a ton of pieces. And three, that foam is looking real nice. Awesome work!
 
So I just finished up a shoulder piece. I based it off of the shoulder piece from Carter's commando armor. It is altered just a bit. But it will work for what I want. I also scored a sweet hot knife from Michael's Crafts. Makes cutting the foam SO MUCH EAISER.

Wow, your a peping machine :p can't wait to see more and the foam shoulder part looks great. this foam technique does good results I'm surprise every time I see those.
 
Thanks for all the feedback guys. It really helps keep me motivated. Well here are some more pics. I decided to redo the chest. I was not liking how the first one was coming out. And because of my size I am having to alter some things as I go. I am 6ft1 1/2 and weigh in at 305 lbs. I am built like a pro wrestler or a defensive back in foot ball. So my armor is going to be a tad bit HUGE. :) Anyway hope ya like the new pics. As always I welcome all feedback.

I love the foam work so far. My only advice is to try to minimize the amount of hot glue coming out of the seams. It's been a pain to handle on my armor, and in hindsight, if I just had been more careful with the glue, I would have saved myself a lot of work.

Also, I had the same knife from Micheals, it broke on me after a week, the screw that holds the blade in was too week and just broke. I ended up getting a sturdier one from Home Depot later on.
 
Awsome work, haha love the fact you can have multiple projects, i dont think i have the drive to do that :D, keep up the good work and keep us posted
