ta guys. relatively new. I normally work with card board, pep and bondo. ie the more solid type builds. I have only started experimenting with foam in the last year. I really should get to more conventions - but as usual, its family constraints.

soz late reply. Hmmm.... I only build when I get bits of time between job and family. Took me a few weeks, could have been shorter without distractions though! Nate

I went back to test shoot with leather trousers. I must say, I prefer the flat black background

wasnt happy with the thighs, looked too short, so extended em. And built knees too how my titan looks now tried the textured trousers not so sure, think I might head back to using black leather again

so..... no Titan is really good to go without a weapon tried to find a Nerf I could mod - but nothing was close enough so decided to scratch build. Weapon scratch building really isnt my cup of tea, but needs must I chose a shot gun as it look the most straight fwd to build detailing...

cheers man for the undersuit - I toyed with more foam glued onto a standard lycra suit but I wanted the textured appearance - so want a a compromise - I considered too the Android Morph Suit or the Batman Dark Knight cycling lycra. I chose the later...

finally had time to re-fit and this time..... got a photographer as well!! (I am terrible at selfie's)

Bugger. Trying to selfie without my contacts in through tinted lens at night. Working on strapping and spacing. But u get the idea....

boot covers and shins done starting on some of the easier strapping

finishing up toes and shin

some pics paint on so better demonstrating the details on the armour

no worries - feel free to share anyways.... moving on to shoulder parts the white stuff is acrylic caulk again - great for smoothing out minor faults the right shoulder attachment on my shoulder

my secret? I hide my mistakes :D lol heres an example - fore arm armour. 1st build was too small. So re-built it to a scale I preferred. initially with the 1st build on my arm 2nd build BUT, honestly - they way I do it is to transfer techniques from my 1:1 build. I am new to foam, but...

took a bit of trial and error - but the back is coming together gap filling with acrylic caulk helmet for scale bad selfie - but you get the general scale on a person
