Hello, comrades of the four-oh-fifth infantry division. I somehow managed to grab a group of interested people who want to go with me to 2013's MechaCon IX at the Hilton New Orleans. We have three troopers, a recon, and a guy in power armor.
Let me cut to the chase. I'm doing my build essentially with EVA floor mats, foamies, and a helluva lot of hot glue. This isn't my first rodeo, but it is my first of this scope and the first I'm starting early so that it looks good. I have two large problems: One, I have five people to make for, so while I have until August, that still doesn't give me a lot of time. Two, The armor designs are all from my imagination. So that essentially rules out using pepakura bases and cutting them out, unless I feel like learning how to make 3D models, which I really DON'T. I got bored this week, and decided to start on my boots. I'm on Boot design Mk V, and it's coming together well. I'm using the foamboard pieces I had originally intended to use as templates for the foamies I'm simply going to double-stack to give the plated look. I'll have my design pics up really soon and my WIP pics even sooner.
