Looks great, keep workin on it. oh, what's that in the first picture? a bicep?

 

[TheBlue]

No, its the upper right leg. Kinda hard to tell, I know.

 

[GDan]

oooh now i see it, :btw: what's the brown stuff the pieces are coated in?

 

[TheBlue]

Paint ;-)


I followed Tastybreads method and used spackle putty to fill the cracks and add weight and strength to the cardboard. Im thinking about adding a Greener paint coat, but i like my tan paint job. It reminds me of Callous's figure.

 

[Redsleighdown]

Nice job bro, keep it up.

 

[Leadingspartan]

woah thats pretty good what are you using to harden it?

 

[Spartan 270]

Thanks for the comments :mrgreen:

Leadingspartan- I used spackle putty to fill in the cracks and add weight and strength to the cardboard. You can get it at Walmart for 4 bucks.

I also added a poll for your voting pleasure. If anything big is missing, Vote or PM me. Oh, and the helmet visor is saggy because it has no visor, doy.

Most of this looks great for work from scratch. Maybe adding some details and checking out some more references would improve some bits that need improving, but overall, awesome job. I know cardboard is hard to work with. ;-)

Anyway, the helmet could use some reshaping, try looking at some screenshots.

Everything looks great. But the helmet looks kinda 'chunky'. The mouthpiece part is a little too big. and the top part is kinda small. If you change the size around, then it'll be perfect. ;-)

wow thats pretty cool i love it.. but yes the helmet does need a bit of improvment

 

[Leadingspartan]

helmets kinda flat

 

[malcomtidus]

Overall project is looking pretty well. But like the other people are saying, the helmet is the only thing that is need of improvement atm. But everything else so far is looking good.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm gonna remake the helm, but i just ran out of some supplies. But look for an update in the future.
