Caboose vs Grif's Started Tex Armor WIP

[Caboose vs Grif]

Going for L3X's revision I see, great choice! It can get difficult here and there. I found myself stopping at about every fourth piece to plan out how to properly cut it.

Looks very good so far. If you'd like a hint, this is a rework of Flying_Squirl's model by L3X. If you need to suppliment parts (like the missing detail parts you have in the above picture) you can scale F_S's model and print off the parts you need.

Yeah haha. I was reading your thread and said to myself "Wow that looks smooth! I guess I'll try that model when I restart my chest piece." Thanks for the tip!

Here's where I'm at so far. Going to bed so this'll be the last update for the night

I know the bottom loos a little warped, but I'm going to put the support struts in so I'll be okay

How does the actual size of it feel when it's worn?

Its a little bit bigger than the one I previously built by only by a few mm. Its not finished either so maybe this weekend I'll know exactly.

Comic con is in 6 days!!! And guess who's going to be there??!! KATHLEEN ZUELCH!!! I am totally stopping by the RT booth as soon as I get there. Got pretty much everything printed out for my next suit today. Everything except the boots are here...

I plan on really taking my time on each piece and putting the amount of detail that Cereal and Carpathia put in their builds. I also bought a some hand files so that I can put tons of detail into it. I also plan on molding and casting this suit so my friends can join me in some of the convention madness !! Let the madness begin once again!!!

Thanks for lookin'

Just got back from NYCC!!! Met Kathleen Zuelch, the voice of Tex! Also met Matt Hullum, the voice of Sarge, Ray, and DocDailey ( I think that's how you spell it). It was probably the best day of my life so far. Kathleen tweeted my picture with her, and so did Roosterteeth! Here are the tweets... https://twitter.com/kzuelch/status/257204056639012864/photo/1 and... https://twitter.com/RoosterTeeth/status/257185757813428224/photo/1 . Here are the pictures...

Dude! Nice! But one question, where the hell were you D:. I asked the guys at the booth if they had seen you and they said they saw you of Friday!

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

I was there on Saturday, but my uncle took forever to meet us at the train station. Then to top it all off, we couldn't find the booth for a while, so I was walking around. Although my grandmother said she saw you walking around when she was there. Sorry man.

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Hey guys! Quick question... If I were to mold my newer and better suit, how many gallons of Rebound 25 and Dragon Skin would I need? Thanks!

Stop....Picture time! LOL
