It seems theres a few SM builds happening at the moment, and they all seem to be going extremely well, despite small setbacks, condolences to Chwbcc. First off, A huge thank you to Samuray for releasing his awesome peps to us all. Find them here. Samuray's WIP Now I have peeped most of Samuray's pieces except for his chestpiece. Only because I wanted the normal SM look. The chest I used is off a model in the Google SketchUp Warehouse made by someone called Psychotron and taught myself basic 3D to fix all the open edges and to clean it up to my own preferences. I also did the helmet & started on the backpack as well. Only after I did all this did I see Nintendudes pdo's of the same figures, which meant I could of saved a lot of time and just used his. Ohh well, now I know basic 3D of a sort. Find Nin's awesome efforts here. Nintendudes Files
Anyway, I scaled all Samuray's peps using the method of scaling against a picture, I wish I could find the post regarding it. Very similar to how Chwbcc has done his. Chwbcc's SM WIP The chest I scaled in much the same way while I had it open in 3D. Thankfully it worked out pretty spot-on. I'm not happy with the shin size so I'm thinking of making those again bigger. The Crotch is getting remade also, this time a bit smaller.
For references I'm 6'2, so far all pieces are in paper, the fibreglassing begins next week. The rest of this week is making another Crotch, another pair of Shins and deciding on a helmet.
Then the fun of mounting begins.
On with the pics, so it did happen. Unfortunately it's a phone camera so I apologise for the lack of quality. I mainly took them to give myself an overall picture of how it's coming along.
Scaling for both chest & Shoulders worked out okay.
Crotch will be remade, Shins too. Thighs are actually okay IMO.
Photoshopped image of the previous 2 as well as arms for an overall effect.
BTW if Samuray, Nintendude or Chwbcc do not want me to add the links to their work, please tell me so I can remove them.
