I'm back (with pictures) Hey guys, I'm back (with pictures) Big update here. I decided to finish up the pep work on my m6x-multi pistol, and it's just about ready for resin. Only problem I foresee is that some of the pieces are a little warped. The geometry is sound enough that it can be...

back in the saddle Hey guys, Just getting back into building. I'm building carpathiavh9's m6x multi-pistol right now, and to my amazement, my pepping skills have improved after a year out of practice. I have a few key components done and will post pictures soon. I am also going to build a...

@ grant. The best advice I could give right now is to take your time. Study your subject well and develop a plan of action well before you put anything to works. And I got the pep files from the pepakura files index in the halo costuming wiki. (google is your friend:p) @ patryn. Thanks...

I've been checking back periodically and didn't realize the thread had moved on to another page; my bad [/newb]. Anyways, my inexperience with fiberglass got the better of me on this one I think. I got it cut in have with a razor (i'll go with the band saw from here on, thanks for testing that...

I kind of like the panel idea, but I also like the idea of the ease of fiberglassing that cutting it all the way in half would give me. SPARTAN II made an awesome spartan laser blueprint. you can see the picture here and the original thread here. I think for that extra bit of authenticity, the...

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that. I'll have to remember to grab some carbon wheels while I'm out tomorrow. I have put some thought to a laser. I could rig a cheap-o laser with a 555 timer for the rapid flashing effect and a disposable camera charging circuit for that high pitched wind up...

Got a bunch of progress pics for you guys. Here I tore apart the section I had done in tape into logicaly workable pieces so that I could redo them in super glue. All super glued and completed the trigger section The hood over the barrel mostly done. I wasn't capable...

While I was going about my business today, I think I figured out how to fiberglass it. I can leave the bottom portion, which i haven't done yet anyway, separate from the rest of the assembly. I'll then tape it in place, (the rest is getting super glue, thanks guys) and resin the corners seams...

techtoast's build thread EDIT: if a mod see's this would you mind renaming it to "techtoast's build thread"? Greetings 405th! I've been interested in this place for a while, and gained much advice from browsing the forums, and I set my heart on creating something in pep. I tried first at a...
