Lieutenant Commander Catherine-B320- [WIP Continued] 2.0 -(FIXED THREAD)


Hey there everyone! Its PmsProxy again,

Some of you may know me, some not! But I am here again to bring back My Kat armour build. I had to stop Last year because school and work had gotten in the way! I have come back with a much tougher deadline, but a much better attitude towards my build,

I had finished the shoulder pads belonging to Kat( Ready for painting), the helmet and chest( still needing resin, rondo, paint ext.)

A friend and I are trying to have out armour build by Friday the 28 of October, which as we all know is coming very fast. My partner in crime is Making MC's armour- MK VI He also has the Chest and helm done for his suite.

We have both worked, 3 days so far-which are all-nighters, and plan many more- so we hope to have the rest pepped by Mid-Week coming. Bad news is we both have to work this long weekend. Friday tell Monday morning so we won't be able to work on the suites then, so we have a lot ahead of us.

As you can tell we will be rushing a little so our work will not be as amazing as it should be, the bondo and sanding will not be up to par, the pep will be as best as the time limit let it, but I do plan on fixing the suite up once Halloween is over.

Anyways enough of my ranting, here are some pictures! Please enjoy

With This Picture... You can see how I supported the Chest with popsicle sticks! I also made a handle sticking out to carry the chest without having to touch the paper, minimizing warpage

Thats all for today everyone! I will be back soon with more updates!
Comments Welcome

Hey guys and gals!

I haves some good new and bad news, so good news first!

Good: I finished pepping both biceps, and one of the forearms. My friend and I have also finished resining our Helmets, shoulders, forearms and my pistol. Tomorrow we start fiberglassing and some more peping. We only have the cod, thighs, shins and boots left to make and our chests to resin!

We are pulling many all-nighters to get our armor done! we have 2 weeks left to go! Im sure we can get this done.

How's the opening on the helmet working out for you? I had problems with my helmet being simultanously being too big but the neck opening was too small to comfortably get my head through.

I actually Cant fit my head into the helmet, but it fit when I didnt have the all the neck hole peices there. Im going to just trin away what I need to, so that my head slips in much nicer :) I hope that helps!
 
UPDATE:


Hey guys, no photos today I just wanted to let you know how far we have come!


Helmet: Needs more sanding, then ready for paint.
Chest: Needs fiberglass, Bondo and paint
Shoulders: Needs Paint
Biceps: Needs bondo, and paint
Forearm: Needs bondo and paint
Cod: Needs fiberglass, Bondo, and paint
Thighs: Needs to be Pepped, resined, fiberglassed, bondoed and painted
Knees/Thighs: Needs to be Pepped, resined, fiberglassed, bondoed and painted
Boots: Needs to be Pepped, resined, fiberglassed, bondoed and painted

So as you can see there is not much left to my build :3 I have 2 weeks left to finish, that gives me plenty of time!
Like I said, this build is not going to be amazing with detail. I just want to get it done on time for halloween, and then I will start to rework each peice as time goes on to make it the amazing build I really want.

I Know some people do not think you can do a build in a month, but I hope this helps you all see that you can! ( Yes its not going to be the best, but you can still do it. If you put a lot of blood and sweat into every moment of the build!.)

I canno't wait to have my armour ready for you guys to see, I get so excited just thinking about it!
I should have some photos for you all tomorrow!

Questions, Comments and Concerns are Welcome :3

So what do you guys think
:rolleyes:$;)
 
I think it looks good! Still plenty of time to get a lot of work done too! Youre going to have a nice set of armor when youre finished!

lol, Yeah, sometimes we get caught up in our own projects, that we forget to let others know how they are doing. I know I need to be better at this. With that said, I think everything is coming along great. The scale looks good. I personally would like to see more photos of the helmet and the body filler work. Perhaps at a front/back/side profile view, but its really up to you...lol. The fiberglass work looks solid too. Overall, can't wait for more updates. Keep on building!

I'm glad to see you can stick your head into the helmet now. I guess you cut off the bottom neck portions of the helmet?

As a bit of criticism/concern, I think the bottom arm loops on your chest piece seem to be bending outward quite a bit and might not look proportional with the upper shoulders.
 
SMALL UPDATE: ( bigger one later! )

So I have some stuff outside being primed and they will be sanded later tonight when I get off work. I really do hate to put these up because they make what I have done, look like crap. Oh well, you cant have perfect armour in a month! plus there is still some sanding left. Here are the pictures I have for now!

F0r you good sir!! Look up ;)

I 'm glad to see you can stick your head into the helmet now. I guess you cut off the bottom neck portions of the helmet?

As a bit of criticism/concern, I think the bottom arm loops on your chest piece seem to be bending outward quite a bit and might not look proportional with the upper shoulders.
I know it looks off, thats because I didnt have the side parts hardened so they went all funny! I have supports on there now to help it stay put! I will take pictures later :)


youre working fast! i think you will meet your deadline if you keep working like this :D GOOO PROXY GO!!!!

Thanks Matth! Means a lot comming from someone like you ! :) Im trying super hard to get it done
 
Yeah the shins do look a little small, but you are hauling butt on this build, I wouldn't worry to much with the uneven areas, especially with the time frame you have given yourself to complete this, once its all together everybody will still think it looks badass and not even notice those areas, great progress keep at this pace and it will be done in no time
 
PHOTO UPDATE :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Big up date this time guys, Im almost done! Just waiting for finish the shins and waiting for the chest to fully dry. ( I'm going to remake the chest after Halloween.

Right now I'm waiting for everything to dry and then another coat of paint! and tomorrow i start padding everything! Should be a busy day, Anyways here are some photos.

Please comment how you guys think it looks! I am going out for a run around town in it tonight so I will have more pictures later,Maybe only if you guys comment!

**Also I was wondering if a mod or admin could give me permission to give out information about the 405th site this weekend. I will be out around town, and even to the Mardi Gras Halloween festival downtown. I know people will be asking how I made the armor, and the best way I can help them is to tell them about 405th.com :) I know there will also be People from the News alking around asking questions, so I just want to make sure it will be okay if I can tell people about 405th!
Thanks :)

Hopefully you don't run into this type of situation:
.

Good work on the suit. Some things could be a bit more polished but being that you've taken most of the parts from pepakura or resin to finish in only a few weeks this is impressive. Is strapping an issue or are you set?

Have a great HALOween!
