MKVII suit - First Build

Oh man, that helmet looks fantastic with the visor and weathering – you can really be proud of that!


A 3D body scan is something I hadn’t even thought about, but it could work really well. Personally, I just used Armorsmith and, with my wife’s help, entered all the necessary measurements to get the scaling right.

Why thank you!! I appreciate it!

I think I may nab Armorsmith as well as using Blender just to make sure there aren’t specific clipping issues that I otherwise may be unable to see in just Blender. I also pondered just doing measurements for a while, but thankfully the place with a scanner isn’t too far from my house, and while there’s a fee it’s rather reasonable for something that will help me greatly on exact scaling.

The visor really does bring the helmet to life! I think you did a good job covering over the holes with weathering. It looks like a properly well worn helmet. I enjoyed reading through this whole thread this morning!

Thank you! I’m glad that the weathering looks decent, I’m still not fully sold with the hole, but I think it works well to make it seem more ‘lived in’ or well worn like you said.

Glad you enjoyed reading my thread! It’s been a lot of fun updating it and creating something that I can look back on, so I’m glad others are enjoying it too.
