Re: RobotChicken's Halo 3 Mk VI Master Chief, Ultra Detail, First Build WIP (many pic
So, I finally broke down and bought some equipment for capturing High-Definition photos and video from Halo 3 onto my MacBook Pro...
...and this is what I discover: A raised line which was already known and included with the UD forearm models:
...and another raised line on the other side of the arm which was not noticed before:
Gagh! Well, you
know that will never do, having only half of the raised line details included in the model! So, the File Archive was updated this morning with new files which include this detail.
"What!? But I already pepped them!" Not a problem, so did I. If you haven't started the pep yet, or haven't glued these parts yet - simply cut out the updated parts from the archive and use them in place of the previous parts. However, if the parts
have already been glued then surgery is required to add in the new detail.
First, of course, you'll need the updated parts. Separate the faces in Pepakura Designer so that you have only the faces needed for adding the detail. (This means disjoining the faces which are not needed for the refit.)
Assemble them separately as a replacement part:
Next, carefully remove the existing faces from the pepped model. Only remove the faces which are being replaced. It's easiest for adding the new parts if all the flaps are on the pepped forearm side of the edges instead of on the replacement parts, so remove the faces such that flaps are left behind from the existing faces. You can also peel away some of the cardstock's top layers to thin down these flaps so the replacement parts aren't lifted up as high when glued in:
Lastly, glue in the replacement part and now you've got the missing detail added without rebuilding the whole model:
Next update: New upper-arm/shoulder model!
