Hey everyone. I'm a cosplayer from Maryland who has been lurking on the forums for a little while but I've been dreaming of building my own suit since I was in college. Two months ago I decided to pursue making my dream a reality. I've been following the All-In-One Noob Guide extensively and have also been talking back and forth between fellow 405th member "transmut1" who has been a huge help. With that being said, the attached pics show my progress so far.
I'm using the Robogenesis low def files from here, except for the boots: http://www.405th.com/downloads/219-low-detail-mkvi-armor-files/
The boots are high def, and I'm probably re-doing the chest and the helmet as high def as per the recommendation of transmut1. I'm trying to get this done before Otakon which is in 5.5 weeks and I'm also attending Dragon Con. It's going to be tough to get this done before then but I hope I can get it done. Ideally I'd redo all of the files hi-def but I don't think that's feasible given the time constraint. Also complicating things is that I don't have a garage to apply fiberglass and bondo, so I have to coordinate with friends and sometimes they aren't available.
LMK what you all think, and thanks to the forum for being such an awesome resource!
