Doom praetor 2016 build

[SofiJunkhead]

Hi guys!

I've been a little bit busy with this project. Is the Doom marine from Doom 4. I couldn't find any pep files for this (or any version of the doom marine, btw), so I handmaded all the templates, and I'm doing the same with the helmet, using a motorcycle helmet as base. It's a bit hard, but not impossible.
I hope I can finish it in the next 3 weeks, I'll move to Europe and I hope I can make it in time for any convent
The key for making this stuff without files is to know how to draw, maybe some details are missing, but doing it exactly as it is without files can take me years xD

so don't expect a full armor 100 % accurate, I'm a noob in this, and also I'm a girl, so I'll try to make it the most simple and feminine as I can.
I'll keep updating the progress, meanwhile some pics

update:

Finally I took some full body pics ^^

Makes no difference to this old-time Gamer : seeing this armor puts a big smile on my face and makes my gamerheart sing with joy.

One day, I'll do a Praetor too, first I have to clean up what's on my plate now.

Till then I wish you good progress with your build and judging from the stuff you've done on it so far, it will look very nice !

Glad to read that I have the Quake 3 helmet for the doom marine as well, I'll do both armors ^^
I forgot to mention, I am building this in a workshop and one guy is teaching me, so 10% of the credit will go to him when I finish this

I agree with kaween. So far, your foam work is very prestige! Keep it up!

Great job so far. There is something to say about free-handing pieces, they sometimes come out better than some peped because you take more time to get every last detail. Granted HD peps are amazing but the skill needed to free-hand near HDC level, which I think you are achieving, is FANTASTIC!!!!

thanks guys! I got tired of using pepakura, it's a lot of work with foam, and with paper may takes less time, but I have to use resin, and fiberglass, and bondo... and cutting pieces and put it all together drives me nutz, it takes so long than I get bored after a while. I prefer to keep drawing templates, I do it more quick but yes, some details will be missing. But I think I'll get better with time, this is the first time I tried it.

I finished it ^^ sorry I don't have a full body photo shoot, but I can't wear everything on my own, I need help
maybe I'll add some details like neck, and the belt, and I need to paint some details on the corset. and of course, the helmet, someday.
