[skull81]

Ok guys I finally got pics of the whole suit on, I hope you guys like it!!!









HI guys this is my first build, i have been a fan since the first game came out... So I decided to finally build a suit..

I'd like to thanks "Propzcustom" for the inspiration and reference of details and also "Iron Monger" hooked me up with his boot templates...

I am completely building from scratch and have no idea what I doing but just going with it, I am just using all the pictures I found as reference...

chest piece





building and making templates as i go










chest piece still need another layer and details... just waiting on my dremel to come back

since im waiting on the dremel i started on the back...

I didnt know how to start the back build so i decided to use a base idea



shaped for my frame




heres my template i made







I made the the pack a little to big but oh well hahah

 

[skull81]

the rear needs another layer, details, and a trim...

Thanks guys I appreciate it... Building this has been pretty challenging... Referencing back and forth, but actually really fun, I should have the chest and back together today...

[ArchieBuildsArmour]

Wow. I like builds where the attention to detail is not overlooked. your certainly has detail! Looking forward to more.

 

[skull81]

thanks for the compliment Archie.

I;m about ready to paint but i just need to finish my eyes, I have no idea how I should approach this to get the effect i want and still be able to see.. Still doing my research, but will come to a conclusion this week.

 

[Mrs BlueV]

Looks Pimp (Like you said GOW FTW!..lol) Are you going to be installing lights?

Someone on the gow pep file thread just directed me here. are you doing all your templates from scratch? i too am attempting a carmine build, but i have been altering pep files to make the foam templates. let me tell you its a pain in the friggin balls. haha. I can't wait to see this all painted up. Hope mine comes out as awesome as yours is. I pm'd IronMonger but just incase he doesnt get back to me, Could you share those boot templates, if you still have them?
