MY EMILE ARMOR IS FINALLY COMPLETE!!!!
I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, I enjoyed this build so much and I very much enjoyed wearing it at dragon con, it was also a pleasure meeting many of you from the 405th at dragon con as well, also thank you for all the wonderful complements on my armor, it meant alot coming from you guys and girls, and I look forward to many more con meet-ups in the future!!!
I'm super new to all of this, this is my first thread and my first armor build and of course I'm starting with Emile. I've always wanted to make a set of Spartan armor and I figured Emile would be a fun start.
I'm making everything out of foam, including the helmet, I'm hoping to make this build look as close to in game detail as possible so eventually I hope to make an undersuit to go with it. hopefully it all goes well and I end up with a pretty decent set of armor, I'm sure it won't be an elite build or anything but that's not the point, its just for fun, so here goes!!!!
I've already gotten around to making a few of the pieces already before I started this thread and of course i'll update as I go on
I started with the helmet first, its a bit rough and I may redo it at some point but this is it for now
I'm still trying to figure out what to do for the visor, all my ideas either failed, or worked but I couldn't see through the visor, so I may just have to settle and only have the helmet for quick photo ops. I would appreciate any ideas to help with that though, I've looked all over the place on the forum to find ideas and most of the ones I found were the same as my ideas or not quite what I was looking for.
and of course I went straight to making the calve armor, cause that's what you do right?
for some reason I couldn't find the other pictures of the calve so i'll update it later when I take more
but anyway, after the calve I moved on to the forearm
I did some testing with paint on the forearm too, though I wasn't quite satisfied with the look as far as game accurate but here are some pics anyway
silver undercoat
final details
like I said, I wasn't satisfied with the paint job I did, so I washed off the paint (I used acrylic on top of plasti-dip so it came off pretty easy) and I'm gonna do some more tests later on to get it the way I want it, but that'll probably be much later on
so after I did all that I finally decided to move onto........ wait for it....... wait for it..........the torso armor!!!!! yay!!!!!
I've only gotten the back part done so far but I should have it done within a couple days
well that's it for now, i'll get around to another update when I get some more finished
as a quick note, so far most of the files I used to make my armor are from L3X's file database, I'm not sure if all of them were from him so if you see anything that looks like yours or someone else's work, feel free to post the credits to who's it is or whatever, but in the mean time, thank you to anyone and everyone who made the files I'm using
