My Eod Armor Build

baconmaster6969 · Dec 20, 2008

I've been coming here for some time now, and I always liked the EOD helmet so I started it a loong while ago, the old Slyfo model, it was extremely complex and I never finished it. so i started once more on it and my friend Jessmo helped me with it and we knocked it out in a day. but after we finished it we realised it was a tad too small.

anyway, I've since started ANOTHER and hopefully this one will be sized correctly and I'll be able to finish it properly.
here's a few progress pictures.

that's roughly where i stopped working last.

shoulder progress

Deadspace!

tell me what you think, thanks!

Fantastic dude. Your folds look great, and your sizing is about the same as when I pepped mine. I'm in the middle of an Eod build myself so I'll definently be keeping an eye on your progress. But overall your start is awesome! Keep up the good work and don't forget to keep us updated.

Oh, and just in case someone hasn't already greeted you, welcome to the forums! There's donuts in the back.

Thank you very much! I'm trying to get it done, but not rush it. I want it to turn out good. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

huzzah for donuts.

Good start! I'm not the biggest fan of EOD, because my head is too big. Lol. But good job so far.

Very nice work. I'm not exactly a huge fan of the EOD armor either (the helm creeps me the heck out) but this would definitely be something to consider.

May I ask what scale you used, for future reference?

Wow, that's looking pretty good!

well my original was the default scale and was a tad too small, so i folded it back up and re-unfolded it myself (i wasnt aware of the auto resize function at the time) i sized it to 30 cm. and here's a couple of links to my unfold if anybody is interested.

Are you using regular printing paper? why not use cardstock, it's sturdier.
