Thank you I was definitely planning on adding supports, though I couldn't figure out exactly where to add them and what to make them out of. Do you have any suggestions?
I've used dowel rods and Popsicle sticks with a dab of hot glue with success. Some areas I would have to glue multiple sticks together to get them to cross the distance. I would describe it like a child gate in a door frame, how it has to "scissor" to expand.
Very nice pep, do you mind me asking for a link to those files?
Thank you! As for the files, I just got them from the official 405th pepakura database Here's a link to that: http://www.4shared.com/folder/CCB_6QwQ/405th_Pepakura_Database.html And you can find the files in the infinity section within the Halo 4 section.
Hey, it's me again
I am still very slowly but surely working away on this build, so if anyone was afraid I'd abandoned it, fear not However, I have run into a small issue, and was wondering if there might be anyone on here that could help me out with it. Seeing as how I'm both a girl, and not a bodybuilder, my arms are nowhere near bulky enough to properly fit the shoulder and forearm pieces. I was originally going to just try and make it work by filling the inside with material once it was built so my arm could rest well enough in the pieces, but I have now realized they're just too bulky. So, I was wondering, could anyone help me make some modifications to the file so that it will fit on my arm? I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be changed to have it fit, but I've absolutely no idea how to actually make those changes myself. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you're still willing and able to help out, I need to slim down the shoulder and forearm pieces. For the shoulder piece, specifically the section of it that wraps around my arm. Length wise, it's great, but it's way to wide, bulky, and roomy around my arms. I'm not sure if the whole section would need to be slimmed down, or maybe just decreasing the width of some parts would work. Does that make sense?I could probably help you out.. what exactly do you need to be done?
Hey again everyone! Sorry I sorta disappeared there for quite a while, I had some serious computer trouble and haven't been able to do much of anything. I finally got a new laptop, so I can get back online, but I am still trying to get everything off my old hard drive to try and salvage all of my data, pics, files, and so on. So long as this one stays operating for me though, I should hopefully be able to start work on the armor again and start updating more regularly. The weather is also starting to warm up again, so if I'm lucky I'll be able to start getting some of my pepped pieces resinned and glassed!
