How did you figure out the curves for where the top and bottom pieces join when making your template for the ladies?

-Also, should have course mentioned the build looks amazing as expected from you.

I was not hard. I covered the dome cake pan duct tape, Then I draw the detail line down the middle. After that I cut everything off the dome, and stick it on card stock. Than just cut that out and trace it on foam 6mm foam

[vshore100]

I'm starting to think he likes the female armor more than his own, lol. Great work anyway.

I want to make a Kestrel Helmet for my suit any suggestions?

 

[Chaotic Tinkering]

Wow! That's a great pair of...... Well they look nice. One of the nicest foam builds that I've seen done for Mass Effect. Would love to have time to make one like that.

My GOD this is terrible! That omni blade is so awesome i dont think i can ever be more impressed by anything else for the rest of my life! :$

Could i be a sob and impose on you to tell/show more about how you made it?

And thanks for making awesome foam build, i got some great inspiration from your custom reach build aswell!

Edit: Doh it was reference photos, i feel so stupid now but i will keep a close eye on this build nonetheless!

well, i made an omni blade with these as reference pics, here you can see my version:

you can turn the blade 180° so it rests on the hand piece, and its fulle removable

great dude. really nice work on the omni blade. if you can squeeze in some el wire to light it up that would be awesome.

 

[spartanx360]

i made a mistake with my version, i made it to my arm, not the armor, so it's too small to go on armor,
unlike the reference pics. they are larger, but it needs a handle to hold it, mine just grabs my arm, so i can still grab things and move my wrist

 

[Admiral Tiberius]

thats an awesome omni blade! Working on my own right now!

 

[agirlcalledbob]

How did you cut the acrylic for the omni blade? (please don't say with a laser, please don't say with a laser)

I'm working up the courage to start the omni tool to go with my ME3 casual fatigues.

haha, i used an cnc cutting machine with a 1 mm drill for the markings i went 1 mm deep, the cuttouts i did in 3 steps (each a mm deeper, so the drill doesn't snapp)
it's 3 mm thick plastic

i'm sorry but i'm taking the thread of nick nack, will make my own thread
