Im going to see if I can build a whole Mark VI suit (Robo pack) from start to finish in two and a half days.

I will post my progress along the way
 
Doable. Practice beforehand, consume lots of caffeine, don't sleep..
 
Ah ha, your thread title was deceiving. I thought you were planning to build the armor from the Marathon games. Now I know what you mean though, haha. Good luck.
 
Thanks for the support guys.

Just printing it was a task in itself

You are only going to be able to finish when i know how to speak each one of these languages (by now i speak 4)
 
Seriously. You have no time for breaks at all. No phone calls. No TV. Maybe time for a hot pocket, but barely. 0 sleep. Lots of high protien food. If you use caffine youll just have a crash and get even less done. Drink tea instead. And unless you have your friends come over and help you pre cut and score everything there is absolutely no way this can be done. And when you get done with a hd model and it doesnt fit you will curse and throw things and that will absolutely suck out all your motivation. Grab some friends, offer some pizza and a movie to watch while you work and you stand a good chance, but solo ? Nope.
 
Good luck. It seems slightly possible. I take that you are using my low detail Mk VI models, yes?

Are you only assembling in 2.5 days, or do you plan on fiberglassing and maybe bondoing?
And more pictures! You must be done with something by now. You only have 2.5 days, and it's been an hour since the printing :p.
 
Yeah, im using the low res pdo pack.

If im done folding by sunday Ill glass it(weather permitting).

Progress report>Ive cut and am folding the right thigh right now, and ate 2 hotdogs and a honey bun :p
 
That would be funny to see how you´re rly would make it in this Time, or do you have a Time Machine?^^

Just for the Chest i needed 2 Days for Cutting and Assembling, good Luck!

Yeah but it propably took you only 6 hours... that's like 1/4th of a day... it doesnt make it 2 days...

And trust me it will take more time then you expect... i finished folding my HD-Helmet (i build it non-stop) for 11 hours...
I also got a very awful back pain after that since i was sitting on the floor and leaning forward.
Definately make sure you dont do the same mistake as i did and make sure that you are sitting properly!

Far-fetched... but possible, if you forgo all formalities such as food, drink, sleep and bathroom breaks.


..........and possibly breathing!

LOL, jk, you can probably do it! I built a ODST chest last night in 3.5 hours FLAT! not to mention the FS helmet that took me 5 hours, both done YESTERDAY. yeah, you can probably do it if you get the hard stuff done first.
