Hey all, this is officially my first thread and also my 3rd attempt at getting into building a costume. I tried pepakura and EVA foam but both times I lost my patience with the learning curve with the skills needed. Right now I am currently working on a full Reach armor set and will be going the full distance. This thread is actually going to be about a pauldron that I'm making for a friend as a birthday gift!
I decided to start testing with an ODST pauldron and am currently using nerdforge's files as I will also be using them for myself. If you'll notice, there is a nasty seam there in the middle. The bottom of the shoulder's print came just slightly up from the bed and caused that massive hiccup. I have since resolved the error with my printer and am printing off the next shoulder that I'll be making. I had been looking to find the ever-elusive bondo glazing putty to smooth out all the print lines and I finally secured some at a walmart near me. Once I did, I rushed to work on this shoulder piece.
Not the best work surface but it is doing me well. It was noticeable early-on that the gap needed a better solution than the filler putty, so I broke out some actual bondo auto body filler and...
Eh...? my first pass wasn't great but I was feeling hyped. I've currently got more progress to take photos of but I'll make post updates as I go of course. I hope you all like it and if there's anything y'all would recommend, let me know!
