Mortal Kombat Deception: Sub-Zero Scrapbuild (Very Pic Heavy))

[Assassin3698]

I was talking with SpartanT117,He had told me one of his brothers liked Sub-Zero, so I offered to build one. After he declined the offer I decided to make one for myself. And yes I know that this isn't Halo orriented but I decided to share my progress during the break from my HAZOP Helm.

SWEET! Can't wait to see it!

 

[Assassin3698]

The build is based entirely on the following picture alone:

After seeing this I drew up a plan of sorts for a scrap build:

Here is some of the progress made after 1/2 an hour:

And I even started on the helmet portion by designing a template for the sides of the helmet:

A total hour of progress. Yeah!!

 

[Z0M8I3]

Looking good! Surprised to see it's a scratch build, Bonus points!

 

[Assassin3698]

@ZOM8I3- I really wanted to do a (Pep-free) build, for two reasons:
1. I already have a pep build started.
2. I thought it would be more fun.

Update 2:
Used a bisector piece to connect the two sections for the helmet front.

The front piece is complete now just have to finish the:
> Mask
>Helmet Dome
>Trident Top

Gonna start work on the Trident next.

Looks like a good start so far! This will definitely be an interesting build to follow. =]

 

[Assassin3698]

I have some more progress on the helmet section, just need some time to take and upload some pictures.

 

[SpartanT117]

lol I declined cause I don't wanna put you under that stress, and besides, if he wants it, he can build it. He can follow your templates. lol

Update 3:

Made a head frame for the back, hot glued it to front helm piece. Mask is just leaning forward to see how it would look. So, what do you guys, and girls, think?

 

[SpartanT117]

sweet momma..

 

[Z0M8I3]

Keep up the good work!

 

[Assassin3698]

Thank you guys for your responses and encouragement. I will have more progress for you all, later. And when you get free time remember to "GET OVER HERE!!!", Sorry for the lame joke. But will have more progress just wait!

Update 4:

I have finished the under part of the helmet by using a "birdcage" support system. next step, after buying more hot glue sticks, is gluing foam sheets around it to cover the outside, I might resin the outside, and in, and glass the inside giving it a solid area inside and out. This might be the last update for a few days so enjoy these:

The mask is only leaning, not permanently attached.

 

[Z0M8I3]

Looking good!

+1 Cudos for the scratch build. Looks great can't wait to see the finished work.

 

[Assassin3698]

Thanks guys,
@Animagmas- Thanks! There are so Pepakura builds, Including foam builds, but not a lot of scrap builds so I decided to do one.
@ZOM8I3- Thanks man, ditto on your masks.

 

[Assassin3698]

After looking over the helm, I have decided to add more supports on the "birdcage" for extra support and to make it a little easyer to lay the foam when Im ready to do so. And to appoligize for the double post I present to you all a stupid pic of me in the WIP itself:

And yes I was very tired at the time. Note: The Eyes

 

[Z0M8I3]

SWEET, Looks like the size is just about perfect for you! Good idea on adding more supports. It's only going to make things easier for ya

 

[Assassin3698]

I'm gonna add padding on the inside of the top so it matches the height of my eyebrows like in the reference pic.

Cool, from a pic this is wicked!
