Hi there! It looks good so far. I'm curious what type of paper are you using? Printer paper?

I would suggest looking at some tutorial videos on youtube. I first got started watching DaFrontline Trooper's videos Andrew DFT He uses pepakura and transfers the templates to Eva foam. I went this route because it was cheaper than the fiberglass resin option but it's totally up to you. Trial...

This thread is pretty awesome with the use of the 3D printer. I can't wait to see everything completed!

Thank you! I was looking at the side by side comparison when I was about to post it and cringed. But it gets better the more you build and I've learned a lot as I continue to work on it. And thanks I really liked the original chest too but I want to be a little more accurate to the game. Oh...

Wow! This is such a great build, nice work!

Updates! This time around is going a lot slower but I'm trying to incorporate crafting foam along with the EVA foam to make more room for lights. This torso is going to be a little bit bigger we'll see how it turns out. The tennis ball yellow squares are covering the sandpapered plastic that the...

Thanks! I just used underarmor longsleeve top and pants. I was looking at threads of people actually making an under suit to go with their armor and I'm thinking of pursing that route.

Thank you! I'm probably going to get one of those soon.

Thanks! I just moved to Missouri from New Mexico though... I went to a small con in Warrensburg, Mo a couple of weeks back, no Spartans. But in New Mexico there's a really cool place that would be a perfect backdrop for some epic pictures. I think it's South of Farmington called the Bisti...

Oh wow it's been quite a while since my last update. I was able to make my forearms better ad bigger than my initial build, which was not too bad. I'm a lot happier with the size and fit. Also the shoulder armor was retired and replaced with a better version based off of Kat's. All of these...

Awesome! I like how you are combining multiple pieces this time around. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished torso!

From what I've seen so far with my pistol, there is going to be some wear/tear and things are bound to break. I only sanded it, added some crafting foam for some details and painted it with acrylic paint. I was unsure of how spray paint would work on it so I skipped that. The thin sections have...

I'm adding more details to the AR that I started a long time ago. I was inspired by Andrew Da Frontline Trooper from Youtube. Luckily, he had some files that you could use on FB to scale and use for carving guns out of Styrofoam. I'm not too good with using a box cutter the way he does but the...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking into what to use. So far a ski mask seems like the best bet but it'll be hot.

Hopefully after these improvements I will be content with how it looks. But a cosplay never seems to be finished.
