That, that is where my money will be at ! o_O I'll be waiting for this with a lot of eagerness ! It is so perfect ! Crisp and smooth, nicely parted out to have maximum detail ! love the hell out of it man, good job !

If you have bondo accessible, I'd stick to it as it works well and is perfect for the kind of surfacing you are doing right now. As for a little tip I'd like to give you, I'd suggest getting hold of a few tools. I'd get a rasp, a corse wood file, a medium file and a set of sanding sponges. You...

Hi Ksmith117, welcome to the 405th, First point, there is no need to prove anything to be a part of the 405th. Everyone is welcome, builders or not, some members have an acount, build thier suit, and then months after it is finnished, create a thread and dump pictures of the completed...

Could you use the armor files and the normal maps provided with them in the archives to ad details to helmets and armor pieces ?! Because I once tried with 3ds max before realy understanding how the software worked. I tried to work with modifiers and it realy did not work properly :p because It...

I have a hard time figuring out how you converterd a normal map into geometry as it has no height information ( unlike a displacement map ) but if you can retain your sculpted information for future 3d printing I think your sculpt is very capable an convincing :) ( well done, its pretty to look...

For me, the way I added lines and surface detail is with the help of needle files, they are pretty inexpensive to buy new and help a whole lot to do steady and precise lines. The control they provide is something I did'nt quite found in a high speed rotary tool like the dremmel. It's spin makes...

I knew ahead of writing this thread that I would kind of sond like that but if anything, I was mearly looking to see if I was wrong to think that way and the last part of your comment certainly points ou things I simply did'nt think about... So thanks for that :)

Now I do not know how to bring this up, but I must do it to see if any of the members feel any different from me. Disclaimer : I don not claim to be any better that any of the fictive members that I will point to in this thread. I also do not intend at any point in this post to establish any...

Oh how I wish it was made from pepakura but its not... Unfortunately, 16 years old me ( back in 2012 ) had to many failed atempt at pepping... I tried a halo 3 recon and an hd mk V from reach and both attempt wew failed ones... I did not have the ressources and assurance in learning new skills I...

Thanks a lot Mara I'll do that today :) !

Is there anyone here knowing why the pictures at the top of my last post are not showing up and are said they are a broken link ?

UPDATE POST and MASSIVE PHOTO DUMP All right folks, I've been working in the shadows for quite a while ! I decided after my last post that my work schedule wase so spaced out that making a lot of posts with little change was not as great to see as a long one with lots of pics and quite the...

I would tend to disagree with this statement knowing that the majority of 3d printers print at around 60 to 80 mm/second, just in print time you would be far past your goal of having a suit finished by halloween... Now I dont own a 3d printer myself, but just to comme here with arguments I...

You would have to test print anything with that fillament to instantly realise that it won't be seethrough... More like a translucent material that would scater the light because of all the layers instead of letting it pass trough normaly... Buying one may be the way to go, there are multiple...

I was wondering If you were going to finish up the interior of your bucket with the same atention to details than the exterior of your suit of armor ( pads, fans, maybe subtles leds) . By lining it up I was meaning creating a cousions array arranged to pad the inside of the helmet as if it was...
