the helmet looks like crap and i wouldn't pay anything for it.

i've got one in work right now, but it needs a lot of sanding and painting and i need to pep a new visor. I have a couple of pictures in my thread.

you think there would be more of us up here since bungie controls the world from here.

about sci fan at galaxy hobby, their annual sci fi model contest is this saturday the 26th, i'm bringing my helmet and chest in for display only. theres another guy i know that works in 1:1 scale but he's stuck at boeing like me. you might try coming and asking around, theres people with access...

I was going to fiberglass the visor and then use sculpey on top. but my kitten thinks that all concave surfaces are litter boxes. as soon as i make a new pepakura visor i will sculpt over it then make a silicone negative and a 2 part plaster mold. I plan on casting the visor in a lot of clear 2...

My suggestion would be, if you havent already cut out the pepakura visor from your helmet, would be to make a 2 part silicone/plaster mold of it. cast that and use it as a 1/1 scale base to sculpt a new detailed visor. then make a new 2 part mold of it and cast it in lots of clear 2-part resin...

I had the same damn problem with my mark iv chest piece. I scaled it according to my height of 70 inches and it came out waaay too small. I have had to start from scratch even though i had the whole thing resined. the belly was too thin and the chest front was too short.

I'm going to go the hard way and do a sculpt of the visor on my helmet, then make a 2 part mold and cast it in clear resin. It is going to waste a lot of materials but at the same time i can scale it to the size of my helmet. [attachment=9871:DSCN0422.JPG]

Everyone on this site does amazing work on their armor and paint jobs. However drybrushing silver paint on top of everyting takes away from the realism. there are 3 secret ingredients to making realistic damage that work much better than drybrushing. One i'm going to show, the others i wont...

That same thing happened to me on assault on the control room. I'm in the tank with 4 marines and i need to rescue some more from oncoming hunters. so i figure if i go straight over the cliff and land right side up i can get there faster. instead i drive right over the autosave point and within...

Mail the sephiroth picture to Tetsuya Nomura and see if he autographs it for you!

that's very clean looking! you did a great job.

Oh-kay. so i printed out flyingsquirls hd mark 6 chest piece and scaled it to my height of about 70 inches, 2 years ago. right before i started my job as a heavy structures mechanic for the boeing 787. working on and off on it i got it built and fortified to the point yesterday where i thought i...
