So, I’ve come to a critical point in my costume my build. I’ve got enough pieces printed that I’m out of room and need to put them on my mannequin for display. In order to do that though I really want to smooth and possibly paint my suit so I need to make sure that all the paints play well...

Nice! Can't wait to see it primed!

I’ve been trying for weeks to figure out how to do a good Damascus Steel paint technique on for my Cats Paw dagger. I found a tutorial that sort of worked HERE but it didn’t quite work in the video since the paints they used weren’t sand able and the whole point of this technique was to cut...

I saw that but I wasn’t a big fan of it. I’ve been playing with paint though and I *think* I have something figured out. We will see what happens when the paint fully dries.

I have the pieces of the cats paw dagger from game of thrones printed and I’m working on sanding it down now. The problem is that the dagger is Damascus steel and I’m not sure how to paint that effect of the blade. Right now my idea is to layer a dark silver and a gun metal over each other...

I used a plasma grenade to help calibrate my new printer. See how it came out!

Hello all. I started a print of the OddWorks Assault Rifle build a few days ago and was hoping to use this thread as a spot to both ask questions as well as post progress pictures. Before any one gets too excited, I’m still printing build plate 2 of 8 right now so real progress is a long time...

This is a beautiful build! I'm very anxious to see the finished product.

Hi all. I should be finishing my master chief costume here soon(ish) and plan to have some props in the works in the coming weeks to go with it. I think my next big project is a Didact outfit but I think that's going to take me quite a while as I'll have to create a lot of the designs for it...

Hey, I’m sure this question been asked before but I was wondering if there were any .obj files of the Ur-Didact on here. I’ve found the helmet in the armory but nothing else. Do the files exist or are they something I’m going to have to create?

Hey, sorry for the double post. I actually decided to start work on the assault rifle. I still like the shot gun but the old Halo 3 assault rife is one of my favorite weapons in the series. I read FlyinPhil's thread and really like the process he used to create his weapons. I'm hoping to...

Those are some great builds! Thanks for showing me that. I was thinking about the foam floor matts not the stuff you were using. I've never tried to make something that way before but it's worth a try!

Hi every one. I have a quick question and would like what ever advice I can get. I missed me deadline to get my Master Chief costume done for Halloween so I decided I might take a break from that and work on something a little more fun. I've been wanting to build a shotgun that will magnetize to...

This is by far one of the best builds I've ever seen! Keep up the good work!

One thing I would suggest is investing in a good pair of files and getting spot putty. I understand the tight budget but the putty will fill in all those holes. With out it you will never really get a smooth helmet. I found a nice file set for $20 and it saves me so much time and sandpaper.
