Hello there folks,
i'm new to the 405th forums and also completely new to the cosplay-world. So here is a quick introduction of myself.
My name is Milan, i come from Germany and at the moment i'm studying Industrial Engineering. I love the Halo games, played them for hours with my friends, when i was younger and always dreamed of having a Mjollnir Armour.
Rocking carnival or helloween in one of these suits must be pretty awsome, so i'm trying to get my first build done by the end of the year.
Since this is my first time building anything wearable, don't expect to much from my build. I'm a bloody noob at this and my first few trys all went straight to the trashcan. I thought i'd start with the gauntlets. Since i have no expreience at all, i thought a simple gauntlet can't be that hard.
First i started with the Gauntlet from RainbowDash's thread and soon noticed that my buildingskills weren't up to it. I tried to make it a bit simpler by putting a few smaller pieces together and drawing around them to get one bigger piece, but that resulted in a horribly disfigured gaunlet
Since that wasn't working out as expected, i resigned on that and searched a bit more. So i stumbled across gauntlets from Rhinoc, which seemed pretty easy to build, since there weren't so many small details.
I build them like 3 times, until they were pleasing to look at with small amounts of glue overflowing. What didn't take into account was the fact, that i made them to small. So trashcan it is again. Today i had some sparetime between learning for my exams so i thought, why not try it again. I edited the size to what i thought was more fitting. Added 4cm to the model and started building again. I'm now pretty pleased with the results of this, except for the fact, that it's still to small for my hand to come through the front. I cut it open to see, if it at least had some more space in length, so i can edit the size a bit more, without inhibiting my armmovement.
Any tips from you experienced Foambuilders out there, will be greatly apreciated.
The line in the middle of the centerpiece below is the cut i made to get my hand through the opening
