Hunter

[Monstermaker13]

here we go :mrgreen:
took about an hour today searching for photo's of hunters
i found some great ones!!
i also found a huge!!! piece of coro-plast on the way home from school
thought it would be the easiest way to start on the shield
i did my best to make the outline of the shield

here it is after cutting it out

and after cutting, folding, and glue-ing

as you can see this will not be a full sized suit

should be a very fun project ;-)

sweet start man. lovin that shield. looks great.

 

[Monstermaker13]

im feeling that this should be a fast build, the shield only took ten minutes!

 

[Redsleighdown]

wow, amazing. everything going to be coro-plast?

 

[Monstermaker13]

sadly no
coro scrap pieces will go into the upper arm shield

the suit will be cardboard unless i can find another source of coro

but there's nothing wrong with good ol' cardboard :mrgreen:

;-)

Thats awesome, I thought the shield was gonna be hard to make but you seemed to pull it off just fine.

and mods, you can delete my hunter topic if you want theres really no use for it and its old

 

[WanderingRon1n]

its sweet. the torso is gonna be kinda hard i think. because its large. but otherwise i think it would be easy

That good of a shield in about 10 min. Woe. keep it up

 

[Monstermaker13]

thanks guys
i finished the shield and upper arm shield

[Redsleighdown]

nice...are you going to put so grip tape on the bottom of the shoes?

 

[Monstermaker13]

i dont need any unless i am on slick concrete or kitchen tile


lol


busted my a$$ trying them out today in the kitchen :mrgreen:

 

[BenStreeper]

you can alwas spray it with rubberizer when you finish. not much work and puts a nice finish on the bottom.

lowes and homedepot both sell a rubberizing spray in the spray paint area

 

[link4044]

that might work

 

[briarsarmor]

Too cool!

Just some helpful advice about coroplast and places to find it. Check for your local Bud or Beer, Coca-cola or Pepsi distributor in the area and ask if they have a sign shop. Usually, big company distributors have so much scrap they through out that they will feel good about help a 'student' and his 'art project' for school *cough*. You get the idea. Also check your local sign shops see if they will cut you a deal or point you in the right direction.

Are you going to make stilts for the hunter feet or try something else? I still wish we could find the email address of that guy who was that Convenant Elite at Comic Con and get his input. I will be watch this thread to check on your progress. Good Luck!
