Very nice needs more detail. Whated you use for visor? Thighs too big.

 

[gamerguy55]

thanks and i know i just finished it. i used a 99 cent water bottle from walmart.

You are wearing your thigh pieces wrong... It always seems like people do that... :\

 

[gamerguy55]

yeah i know they look big becuse they lean forward. i have just fixed it with a strap ion the back to hold it on.thanks

I have many Ideas for how I'm gonna do my straps... What's keeping your belt together? Nevermind I see it is 1 piece... Mine is split up into 4...

The suit is very nice for a plain painted Pepakura. I assume you'll be redoing it after launch day?

But if there's one thing I've learned from posting pictures online it's that a person with a straight neck will leave a better review. Rotate your pics, and resize them. This means you don't just let peoples browsers do the work for them, as large pictures resized on the receiving end still take a long time to load.

Sorry to post this in your topic, but seriously.

Good work man!

thanks, the next suit i plan to due is going to be halo 3 armor after the game comes out. but this should be good enough for the mid-night launch at g-stop.

Is that fiberglassed too or just resined?

 

[Soulmemories]

Just take some high res shots found here:

And paint on the details. Just simple black outlines will make it extremely better.

i started about a month ago with printing and cutting the paper.good luck with yours!

-Matt

P.S. the water bottle was a reusable one from walmart and i cut it into pecies and then bent them in the oppisite direction then glued them in.

 

[Macattack64]

I'm going for pretty high of a grade sorta... I try to put details on... Still gotta do some of them... ****... :\... I need some screenies of the side thigh... :\


This is my helmet so far.. Almost done...

 

[gamerguy55]

-Matt
