Data Crystal Chip Model. (Updated)

[CommanderFluffy]

wow im more surprised that this topic had resurfaced... im still waiting to see the final product.

 

[MW Immortalking]

Woah, I'd love to see someone finish one of these for casting since I bet the pep is impossibly small.

 

[Thundertotum]

pep is impossible. not even with my jumbo model is it remotely possible.





well after pulling some hd screencaps off the intro vid to h3 i noticed that the model i was using is off. close but still of so since i have some free time i will be putting in all the detail. this mean;

1. NO you will not be able to us a pepakura model for a while.

2. YES it will be more game accurate

3. YES it will be another month or so before i will be ready to retry printing this.



sorry for the DP had to update. and I'm sorry if anyone wanted this to be done soon im kind of a perfectionist. (thats why i've pep'd 50+ helms and my MC & ODST armor is not done.)







*POSTING SPREE*



UPDATE



Ok everyone AFS back with a pic of the updated model.

the one on the left is the new version while the one on the right is the old. Yes, i do kinda work in 2d befor making it 3d it makes the process a lot smoother i think. This is going to be more game accurate and im trying my best to have this done befor the end of april. oh how i hate school, eating up all of my time. well if you have any questions or comments please post. and yes mods i know this is techniclly a triple post, merge them if you want.

No need to apologize, dude. I'm the same way myself with my projects. Hence why I have so many unfinished (my MC armour being one), lol. The way I see it, if it's something worthy of being made, then I want to get it as accurate as possible. Nothing less will do.



What can I say. It's a curse :rolleyes



I'm glad to see you're back at it again, though. Detailing's looking great. I'd been following this for a while, and was hoping we'd finally get to see an end come to it. Take your time with it. After all, you (being the builder) above everyone else has to be happy with the end result.

 

[Thundertotum]

thanks for the encouragement Spartan II. I'll try and get this done soon but no promises. still working on all the detailing plus there is only like 15 sec of video in halo 3 where you can get a good look at it; and let me say this i almost have it memorize.

When you finalise this for sale, I'm in for a few.

Ill keep that in mind.



As of right now im just going to be doing the molds of the chip untill i can figure out how to wire the thing properly



as for everyone else the NEW AND IMPROVED model is done. It is more Game Accurate and totaly impossible to pep unless your god.

Did I just here you say bevbor? lol, its a sweet model, and I would LOVE to get my hands on one...

If Bevbor could do this he would be a God, but sadly i thing even he would have a heck of a time with this one. you would need a laser cutter to cut and score all the parts. and a magnifing glass to see the numbers. oh and be really steady with the glue. hence impossible.

[Boba Fett]

I'm not sure how accurate it is to the game version but my model/the Weta chip is about 55mm long, that might be a decent starting point

Also it's cool to see someone else using a Cupcake to do prop work
