First off I'd like to apologise, this isn't nearly the size of update I wanted to be able to post after so song, but it's what I've been able to get done whilst doing my exams. :( Now then Noble44 thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look, I'm currently looking into the neck seal as it...

So, Update time! This time it's some physical progress instead of CAD work. So my sanding station all set up with sandpaper from 180 through to 5000 grit: The two handplates I'll be sanding. These have already received two passes from 180 through to 1200 grit paper on the raw printed plastic...

Sorry all, it's ramping up to exam season for me now so you may see the odd bit of progress however there won't be a huge amount. (although some stuff is starting to get 3D printed and my internals for the airsoft project have arrived). Now then. Noble44 That idea of the electronic reed switch...

Well, this is my first proper update on the AEG. So the bulk of the modelling on the rifle is done: I'm aware there's a lot of detail to add still so I'll be slowly going through the model adding every piece of detail I can find. There's a few inaccuracies from the game model but in general I...

Knew I had this somewhere: So I believe it's a V4 gearbox that snipers use, however being the cheapskate I am I'll stick to my V2 and if it doesn't pack enough punch I can always upgrade it. Edit: A quick update on the modelling process, I've begun to bulk out the shape of the rifle:

DeadzManWalking Thanks, this is some really helpful advice, I think I've found a way to make a V2 fit and as I already own one I'll initially be trying with that however if it doesn't work out I'll probably switch to a V3 for the spacing and motor alignment benefits it provides. And yeah...

Right then. Update time: Project 3 has begun. (The other two are the suit and augmented reality system) So the plan is to build an airsoft BR85 (Halo 4 Battle Rifle), I've had this idea for a while but seeing the fantastic work being done by DeadzManWalking has kicked me into getting it done...

I don't have them already cut, however I really wouldn't recommend blender to cut models up in, personally I use autodesk netfab basic, it's free and has a really good mesh cutting tool, if that doesn't work for you just shoot me a PM with your print bed size and I'll do my best. (Also sorry...

Just realised I'd never posted this clearly and I'd only mentioned authors and the compiled list was left in the credits of the zip I uploaded, so here's the list of parts of the suit and who the credit for the work belongs to: Helmet - None in file yet Torso & Ab-plate - nemesis2500 Codpiece -...

Quick update, did finally finished all the torso detail (still open to adding more if people can point out where some is missing), but here's the updated section: (I added the little piece between the Ab-plate and torso That's all for now, unfortunately the mannequin was mislabelled and turned...

I'm back! It's been a little while so I shall placate you all with renders: I did a little more work on the torso and I still have another little bit of work until it's finished, (the little bit between the torso and the ab-plate. Unfortunately school has started to catch up with exams...

mblackwell1002 kaween Peaked your interest has it? Guess I'd better make a proper post on it then. :D So first off, better start with the power source! This is a 3 cell 11.1v 5000mAh LiPo battery, this should be able to power the screen and Pi for several hours no sweat. Some of you may be...

Update time! Thigh's are done, while looking at reference photo's I realised that there was surprisingly little detail on the thighs and in fact that it's covered by the existing pepakura files, so I set to work increasing the resolution (the original pep model I worked on was made by...

First off, sorry for the absence guys, I got really ill but I should be back now :D Thom A293 thanks for those photo's! I'm not sure which one I'll model in yet, but it'll probably be the one that allows the most movement without sacrificing too much of the aesthetic of the suit. ReClaimer8015...

Thom A293 Thanks man! You're right about the neck seal, that was on my radar (but I'm prone to a bit of procrastination ;) ) . Anyway, the arm extension covers? Mind posting a picture? I'm eager to model in all the detail and make it as accurate as possible so any help is really appreciated...
