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

[Assassin3698]

Thanks, it was all from one picture, the one on page 1.
PS- I was actually thinking about making the full suit, but didn't know if I should. The main Intimidator for the full suit build is the dragon face on the shoulders and belt piece. That's really it. And I'll have more progress pics after the weekend when I get more glue for the hot glue gun, I promise.

I got more glue and put in plenty of supports:

I'm going to start working on the trident top and the sides of the mask. With the added supports most bends and contortions pop back into place. With that said do any Infantrymen that might pass through this thread think I should do any further strengthening, or continue on with it being flexible? Any comments or suggestions are wanted.

It's looking good If I were doing it I would put some cross bracing around the crown of it. You don't want it to be fairly rigid. Look at a round top birdcage for reference to what I'm thinking. I think you may need a ring at the bends along the top basically. It may be a little hard to get the shape though...

I was actually considering making small segments instead of a whole ring, which is very hard to get for the crown.

Update: I made a support ring for the crown.

I also finished the sides of the mask.

I dont feel like double posting, in the same day.

Kinda failed on the first attempt at the trident, but on the bright side I have the mask and general helmet ready for hardening.

Yesssss I use hot glue too!

 

[Bulbxsaur]

Coming along real nicely!
Cant wait to see more.

For me it's good for just about anything, except for in Pepakura, it doesn't fit my technique.

Thanks man, next step from here is covering and hardening. (Sarcastically) What fun!

Well I sure will stick around to see how it comes out!

Thanks for the incentive, I'm currently working on putting the card stock on the "birdcage" part of the helmet, and it's good you subscribed, I'll be on page 3 about 20 minutes after this post, sad but true.

Doing very good on this, Keep it up man!

Just read through your thread to catch up lol. In regards to thinking bout doing the whole suit, i'd wait and see how brilliant the mask looks when its finished first, might give you the extra incentive to complete the look of sub-zero awesomeness (completely understandable why the dragon is a deterrent). Nice job reinforcing the crown, it looks like you went with the individual pieces which was probably the best option particularly in the event that god forbid it needs modification or repair in the future. Keep up the good work.

Lookin' great! =]

 

[Assassin3698]

@ZOM8I3-Thanks, your masks are really coming along.
@Animagmus-I actually have decided to not go with the the full suit in gonna pay all attention to my Mask+Helm.
@ReveilleWolfie- Thanks man, It means a lot.

Update: I finished 85% of covering the helmet pictures soon.

 

[Ezimora]

Awesome i can't wait to see the finished product

 

[Rheiner]

"Freeze" Louise! These are turning out great! I hope it comes out as a "flawless victory" when you "finish him!"

Sorry, couldn't help it! Its looking great man, keep it up!

 

[littlebigmikey]

Agreed - ' Finish Him!'

 

[urban0ninja]

It looks good so far, keep it up!
