Foam Baby's first Spartan

[Jme]

Looks like Bieber

Made a bit more progress in the last few days.
Traced, cut, built, and covered with craft foam....Biceps!

Still have to paint before I can glue the shoulder pieces but it's looking good

I also started printing boot pieces. I guess I put the "laces cover" in the wrong place. So I need to rescale that....but the toe is perfect.

Getting there!

Oops! Forgot about the stuff I did last night!

First use of bondo with a 3D print. It's awesome...
Bondo and sand the right forearm.

Then bondo on the armor ability that was printed the other day. Sanded the other shoulder piece.
First coat of paint on the forearm and the shoulder.
Plan to do yellow highlights tonight.

Netflix and Paint!

 

[James]

I was a bit lazier last night but still got a bit done.
I taped off everything that needed to stay blue on the shoulder and the forearm.
I just reused the shapes from the first shoulder (that's why they're yellow) that way they're as similar as possible.

I also did details on the upper part of the shoulder.
Here are both pieces after tape and yellow.

The forearm needs detailing before weathering for sure....black and steel parts that need to be painted etc.
But I got distracted with Xbox and sleep.

Side note, this is my 49th post! Someone give me an excuse to hit 50 and request Regiment membership! Haha

You dried your suit while hanging off the hatchback of your car?............ interesting choice of location........and the workshop wasn't worthy of such an honor?

Preemptive welcome to the Canadian Regiment! Have you received your Canadian Regiment Dirtdives Border Wall Crossing Kit?

Yay! Thanks!
I have not! Luckily HOD Anaheim happened before the Canada Wall went up. HAHA

Well...it was SpartanProps car....and it's because she and a friend were cutting a ton of MDF in the shop...apparently shelves for her TV were more important than a Spartan....
I know....weird right?

50!!!!

Shelving is important

for her TV were more important than a Spartan....

Blasphemy

There's a kit?.......I mean YES...... there is a kit......all proceeds go towards building the wall.........send money to Fund My 3D printer.....Ummmmm... Fund My Trumps Wall

 

[James]

So wait... you're selling kits enabling me to get around/over/under/through the wall.....in order to pay for the wall...?
Actually this fits perfectly with the logic of the rest of it....carry on.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

It's so illogical........that it IS logical.

 

[SpartanProps]

Looking awesome!!

 

[James]

Looking awesome!!

Skillfully ignores the potshots taken at her earlier in this thread...

50!!!!

cant have references without a tv!

 

[James]

You had a tv already. Just cause Bryan is lazy and wants to lounge further back on the couch...

 

[James]

I got WAY more excited about this than maybe I should have.....but that was really cool to see happen just now!
"You like me! You really like me!!"

 

[Dirtdives2424]

"Like" is such a generic word......I'm actually petitioning to have "Tolerate" added to the list........"Dislike" was flat out refused. But hey, just 1320 point and you can take the lead.....I'm more impressed w/ the 10 years award. It should be more points considering the insanity.....which is probably why you lurked for so long........10 years, 54 messages......that's a long bathroom break.

 

[James]

I eat a lot of red meat

 

[James]

Haha but actually, I joined in 2007 when I was a young idealistic kid thinking he would have time and money to do things like this.
Now I'm 30 and still don't have time or money but I'm back and trying anyway haha

 

[James]

Did a little bit of shading and weathering after work before the Flames game lol.
Also filled in a full black part.
Just wanna get SOMETHING done each day at least.
