Nice! Awesome work so far. Have you considered switching from ABS to PLA for your prints? PLA doesn't need a heated bed and so long has there is no drastic temperature change in the room you're printing in, it rarely cracks. I started using ABS for everything but I ended up switching for PLA...

HOW DID I MISS THIS!?!?! Seriously some awesome work. I'm glad to see another space-ferrying fan of the Halo universe building these awesome ship models. Your prints are extremely well done. I love that you're molding them as well. I wish my printer would print with the same quality of yours. I...

Hey guys! I couldn't wait any longer... Shadow of Intent - The Continuation of a Covenant Armada [/url]shadow_of_intent_by_pro_macbook by Fudz0732011, on Flickr[/IMG] Shadow of Intent - Flagship of the Fleet of Retribution captained by Rtas 'Vadum The Covenant CAS Assault Carrier has been...

This is actually an awesome question because I was asking the same thing about a month ago. So here's the gist of how I been doing it... 1. Take your .pdo file and convert it to an .obj file. I used pepakura designer to do this. 2. Edit the .obj file in a 3d program. I've been using Blender. 3...

I'll have to agree with the rest as well. Very beautiful work. If I may ask, what 3d printer do use? I have an I3V prusa from makerfarm and I have yet to achieve the fine quality prints you seem to churning out (Despite my best efforts!) Either way, continue the great work.

Hey guys! It's been awhile... again :angel . Another move with a wedding fast approaching, etc. etc. However, things have begun to settle and the work continues. During the interim, little progress has been made on the Reconciliation. I resumed puttying and sanding. She's close to casting it'll...

As far as the resin goes, just follow the instructions. All resin after time will harden regardless if the hardener is added (I have plenty of old cans of solid resin in my garage that can attest to that!!!). With that being said, you may be waiting days for it cure. With the hardener, the more...

Some fantastic work, as always! The level of crisp detail is very impressive and I agree with the rest, awesome job on the painting. Keep up the great work!

Very nice detail! I agree, balsa wood is an excellent choice to capture detail. It should also provide a little more structural stability than craft foam. Excited to see the molding! Keep up the great work and can't wait to see more!

Appreciate it! Eventually I would like to make a version of all the original Halo starships, but that'll take some time. My goal with the index is to add green LEDs and light strips to the interior. Which, yes, would be an awesome prop to have if one were dressed as Cortana! Finishing Touches...

The Finishing Touches Hey 405th, Sorry for the interlude. New job, new house, new fiance'... but the build must continue!!! After a lot of filling, sanding, filling, and more sanding, the body of the cruiser is finished. A few more details are required, most notably, the canards. Here's the...

Glad to hear it Red! There really is no feeling like when something you build finally comes together. Congrats! Can't wait to see the pics and vids. 73 Fudz

I approve of the Metroid Prime. Good choice, though my personal favorite is the first Prime. I may also listen to Ace Combat 4 - 6 if I can find my ipod.

That's kinda funny, I watch the same thing too. How the universe works, Into the universe with stephen hawking, etc... Something interesting but not too involved so I don't lose concentration... that or the weather channel...

I think your build is totally plausible. My recomendation, make the helmet as if it were brand new, then add the scarring, damage, wear and tear, etc. Your biggest hurdle, i believe, is creating the damaged visor without compromising it's structural integrity. However, I'm sure there is more...
