First Foam Armor Warhammer 40K

FatherDamien CO · Dec 6, 2012

I'm new here. So, first off hello everyone.

After much reading and looking around I started my first foam build.

Here are some pics please let me know what you think of it so far.

Thankyou for looking.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!! I have played this game both the real table-top-and-dice game and the video game. It was cool. I really liked the armor in both!! I can't wait to see more progress on this suit!

That's looking sweet! Love space marine armour. Are you building to suit normal human size or going for one of oversized builds that you sometimes see?
I'm already subscribed to this Becuase I'm sure it's going to be awesome!

Looking nice man. I also played the table top and video game so love 40K costume builds.

Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing this one finished

Tom.

I played Space Hulk on the 3DO. And space Marine on the X Box 360. Building this suit to normal human size since its the first thing I've ever built out of foam. Figured I'd learn how to make cuts and angles bends etc.......I really want to build an Iron Man suit and then the Hulkbuster exo for it........but, I have a ton to learn first. I know this suit is a little off. But, I went into this builds knowing I'd mess things up. As long as I learn from my mistakes I'm ok with it not being perfect.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Oooooooo! I used to be super into 40k, and I gotta say I love this! Now that I think of it, it'd be awesome if I did an Eldar build. One thing at a time, Decibel...

Star Wars was the first for me. That led into my fascination for Sci Fi armor with the Stormtroopers. However, in a strong second place is the Space Marines from 40k. I still have a few miniatures floating around somewhere from back in the day when they were Citadel miniatures. Awesome looking build so far! I cant wait to see more!

Crap! I was going to try for an Ironman build after my Reach build but you have corrupted my plans! I MUST have an Eldar suit!!

Got some more progress on the armor and finished building the back pack and its ready to seal and paint.

Now to figure out arms legs and the cod.

You say this suits looking off? I'd say its looking perfect, for a first build I'd be really chuffed with that! And even at normal human size it's gonna look epic!

Hopefully one day you'll get round to the ironman suit but don't rush. I tried
Doing two builds at once and though its a nice relief to do something different you tend to forget about the other build sometimes

Thankyou. Overall I'm very happy with the build so far.

Its not too far off but there are little things here and there. The shoulders on the chest plate should be round and come up into the neck ring more than they do. The neck ring is a little off center and the two layers were cut the same length while flat but once I rounded them the outer became to short......early cuts are jagged later cuts are smoother and the band saw cuts are way better than my free hand cuts......its all a learning curve.

Lucky for me 90% of this can be hidden with battle damage and the shoulder bells which are huge.

I'll 100% finish this suit before I even start the Iron Man suit. And with the Iron Man suit I need to figure out which suit would be best to build that will fit inside my future Hulkbuster exo suit.

Thanks again for looking.

The backpack is amazing. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. I'm debating redoing the chest piece. Instead of connecting the belly armor, building it separate. And going for better detail. But, I may just finish this and give it to my nephew and build a full size for myself.........

Wow, great progress man! I've never really even heard of 40K until I got into costuming... But they are pretty darn cool looking! Good luck, and great job so far!

FatherDamien CO · Dec 26, 2012

Added some details to the chest and started shoulder bells. Sorry no photos of the shoulders yet.....they are a pain in foam.

Anyone else have a room that looks like this in there house?

ArchieBuildsArmour · Dec 27, 2012

Brilliant. And do i spy a shoulder pad on the table?
