Update no.12
OK so I found in the 405th Database a sliced M6H Personal Defense Weapon System file which is good BUT it lacks details and it´s a bit inaccurate. And yet again a thing that was a pain in the butt to make but hey I made it!
Like I said it needed more detail so I used some magic and here it looks a bit better plus the other details I can add using bondo. I always say this is not a problem for good old and trustworthy uncle bondo! xD Enjoy!

Again a smaller update. This time I finished scratchbuilding the "hip plates" because nobody made a pepakura version. *sigh But I think they came out pretty good. Yeah there is no detail on them but I can fix it with some bondo later The size is just right too so I´am happy with them Hopefully tomorrow or maybe today I will finish the 2 armor plates on the XG-89 Thighs (The ones that weren´t icluded in the pepakura file) and after that I will only need to finish the Sniper which will be next and wait if crimmson writes back about the forearms or if someone else models them. At worst I will scratchbuild them too xD Enjoy!

It´s update time again! xD So I made these 2 parts that are part of the XG-89 Thighs but never been modeled so I had to scratchbuild them. Yeah it´s pretty much just the base and I will add some more details with bondo later. I´am such a lazy person xD Now the only things that remain are - Sniper rifle, 2x XV-27 Shifting forearms, 2x sheat (pistol and knife). And when I have all these I will do a test fit like I did with the ODST medic armor too Enjoy!

It´s weekend finally -___- and because school kept me busy I couldn´t do anything on my armor. Ok so today I resined the pistol, hip plates and the thigh "attachments". It´s not much and hopefullytomorrow I can do some more work and mybe my father will help me with bondoing some other pieces so the work would go faster. I really need to finish this before AnimeShow 2014 (15.march). Enjoy!

Well I use fiberglass from a company called DCH Sincolor but it´s only available here in Europe if I´am not mistaken.

Geez... one bad thing after another... So basically what happend is that I wanted to "try on" the boots and when I tried to walk not right away it broke... both broke! :X Ihave to redo them anyway. Why ? Because they were small or well I felt that they were small, still rather find out these things now than during AnimeShow xD The good thing is that I only have to redo the front partand split it into 2 parts. And I gathered some reference pictures Enjoy!

Wow already 20 ?!? o__O But it´s coming along nicely but I´am kinda afraid that I won´t finish it before the 21st of March :/ OK, enough of these depressing thoughts xD So I´am finished with the front boot covers and they are already resined too and oh yeah they are a bit bigger now so everything is fine now Then there are these 9 pieces which have to be fibrglassed but I ran out of it so again something that messed up my plans :/ My dad had an idea to use this .... thing on the back piece of the torso, yeah I had to cut the remaining but even after 4 days it´s still not dry but it´s good because I don´t have to fiberglass those parts And the last thing I did was to divide all the parts into categories. That means for example I have like 7 pieces in a box and I have to finish them completely till January. I´am not that good at explaining things but I think you get what I meant xD Enjoy!
