Since I have a plasma grenade %50 done right now I have started on some Marine armor. I’m going to post updates here as things continue on.

The one in the last picture on the right is a little larger compared to the one on the left. That’s not intended but I need to see what looks best on me as I’m a petite woman.

Huh weird.

A tip for smoother folds is to use a roller and often and score the paper along the fold lines. Your folds look good, but that still help you clean them up even more.

Yeah I’m going to look in the settings and see what changed because the other one before it printed with numbers and all.

Thanks for the tips!
 
Yeah no problem! Hopefully the 2D settings got edge id are turned off and that's all it is. If so, all you have to do is turn them back on and you're all set!
 
One leg is done now it’s a little big but fits with pants on. If I get boots to go with it I think it will fit just fine. I can add foam to parts that are large to have a tighter fit if need be.

You find any grey fatigues? I was thinking I would have to dye mine.
I was actually thinking of finding some grey work pants like dickies. Walmart has them or look at a Salvation Army store. I know a lot of cosplayers who get things at the thrift store and save a lot.
 
Ok, the new helmet is almost done and then I will probably work on getting paint for it and sealing it.
Pictures to come soon.
 
I’m going to look into resin for it next I have some already but not sure what kind to use.
Bondo fibreglass resin with bondo fibreglass cloth should be good. I found mine for relatively cheap in my walmart, but as you are up north, I dont know how much of a problem temperature would be
 
Progress is lookin' great! I've nearly finished my CE Marine build so if you need any tips, I'm happy to help. I'm sure you've seen it already, but Jubal has posted a series of reference images here that are EXTREMELY helpful. Keep it up!
