Have been thinking of a new build idea recently. Alongside my still in progress mk vi suit, i was planning a foam scratch build of the ARX-7 Arbalest from full metal panic. Been sitting on this idea for a month now. I have 3D models and pictures but am having trouble fathoming how to go about this and think i might need some help.
Do you make perpakura files? Because I would like to request something.
If you look at the link I gave, the ODSTs from Reach have a very oversized collar section compared to the ODSTs from Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. The rest of the soft-body armour (which is under the plates, and only covers the upper-ish torso) doesn't really change compared to earlier games (and there are models of it on the on the 405th database). However, I'm interested in having that oversized Reach-era collar (if I'm making a collar, I'd like it to look big and protective).
I'm not necessarily asking for the complete underarmour, but more like a compatible template for the collar, as if it were an attachment or addition. It's not the end of the world if you can't do it, though, as I can probably figure it out myself. Having an exact template to follow would be nice, though.
No, I understand, and everything you're saying echoes my thoughts. I was wondering if it was possible to build a genericized version, but I doubt that's worthwhile.
I see that his head movement isn't very possible. I was intending to scale it down a bit, which would be a bit less protective, but still look better, I think, than the standard H3 era collar. And yes, I actually intend to make that underarmour section out of foam (though I'm still having some concerns about how I'm going to permanently shape that collar, since I haven't got a heat gun. I wonder if I could fold it into place and hold it there with some nylon strapping, and just leave it like that for a while so it assumes the new position, maybe take a blow dryer to it too).
I guess I wasn't quite thinking straight when I asked about this. I don't like this fact (hell, I don't even really like working with EVA foam, since it doesn't bend or fold well in my experience), but I might just have to kinda freehand it. Which I suppose isn't the end of the world, either, since it's not very detailed and mostly covered up anyway.
Thanks anyway, mate.
no need for the death gun mask anymore someone already upped a printable truelly detailed version in the meanwhile
Ok, thats great to know.
so how are things going dude? anything you finished up yet?
