Just so you know, Armor Smith is a paid for program (about $40 if I remember right). But it gets upgraded often to fix bugs and with new features. The privateer guy that originally made it was a costume maker and was fed up with Pepakura. It's well worth the cash as it's a great program

You can unfold the stl files and make your own patterns for foam. Armor Smith is the program for this. You can also scale the pieces to a custom avatar of yourself that you create using you body dimensions

Thanx, I appreciate it. I started on this a year ago in March and have in the neighborhood of 1k+ hours into it. Couple 2-3hrs a day plus 5-6 on Sat. and Sun. I love the full scale stuff too. This is my 2nd terminator

Space marine armor or terminator? Not many terminator cosplays out there. I'd make that. Don't think I've seen anybody make a space wolf terminator either. If you do and need help, give me a shout. I've got most of the inherent problems ironed out. And thanx for the compliment

Thanx. All the lettering was done by hand with chisel point markers and the whole thing was distressed with tea. The text is actually Motley Crue 's "In the beginning" translated into Latin. The book didn't turn out as thick as I wanted, but it works. I strapped mine down as apposed to standing...

Here's a couple full Monty shots of the torso and shoulders together. Also some shots of the librarius book and some miscellaneous stuff.

Incoming transmission... Finishing up on the main torso. Everything is weathered all the way around and finished up on the giant cables on the outside of the neck area.1st is some of the torso bits Now comes the cables. These things turned out awesome. There was a lot of work into these and a...

Got some paint progress pics to share. I finished blocking the torso in and started detailing it. Still have a ways to go yet. Stay tuned...

In the meantime, here's some of the lighting pics I mentioned. 1st up is some of the details inside the hood. Some of the parts around the bottom of the neck had to be painted before they were assembled, otherwise I'd never get to them I used 12v led strips that I buried in behind these panels...

Thanx, I've got lots more pics to post that were during the build. Stuff that has to do with the lighting. I still have to build the thighs from scratch. But I'll finish painting the torso and get some pics with the shoulder pauldrons on. That'll be a milestone I've been waiting for!

Got some paint progress to share. There's a ton of real estate to cover on the torso. Wouldn't be that bad if it was all 1 color, but lots of details to pick out I also stumbled on a detail that I had missed while playing the game the other night. At the end of 1 of the missions you get gear...

Thanx, dude. I appreciate it

Got a few more finished pieces to share. These are shots of the pauldrons, elbows and the other glove and forearm . 1st up are the pauldrons This one was a blast to paint. I tried to get some different textures going on with the foam. Some of the gold bits are nugget texture while the...

Here's another installment of pics. These are of the pelvis, belt buckle and surrounding armor plates at the hips and lower back. I used quick buckles like on a backpack for ease of painting and transportation. The only bummer is as good as the rampant lion turned out on the cod piece, you won't...

Here's some closer shots of the boots. One boot has decorations on it that has special meaning to me. My sister was killed in a bad car accident in October and the markings and any checkers that are on the suit are dedicated to her. She was a professional clown that went by the name "Little...
