Sup, it's looking good. And that tech marine helmet looks amazing, well done indeed.



Are you going to have any other tech marine themed 'props'? Like a gear axe, or additional bionic arms?
 
hmmm a gear axe sounds neat,. I was gonna go w/ Bolter&Chainsword but now I'll have to re-think that,. Im still working out if Im gonna do the Bionic Arms

I bought a set of marines, and one of them has a folded Bionic Arm on the backpack so If I do one, It'll be based on that model, if your interested its from

the standard marines, Devastator set, my local shop didnt have any TM's I could find so this should do
 
Yeah I know the one you're talking about, that's a good plan actually, having it folded. Less chance of it breaking and getting in the way. Good stuff.
 
I got a CraftROBO recently and decided to remake all my pieces double-reinforced, got the gauntlet done,.and my new workflow hammered out,.. so new pieces will be popping out regularly, now my pieces will be able to stand on thier own quite well until I can get to the resin stage w/ no warping
 
well it looks like a printer but yes,.. and no its not,.. it makes life sooo much easier, so instead of getting hand cramps and taking forever to finish the parts then scoring them, now I can finish in a fraction of the time

me either Drgnfyre so when you gonna join the rest of the pack @ a con on the side of the country?



so today, I put a coat of resin on my new forearm, w/ it double lined it soo easy to paint it on nicely,. soo easy for smooth even strokes, and best of all was about to do 95% of it in one pass, since its double lined dont have to worry so much about it being waterlogged, half w/ done w/ my new chest also, pictures to follow soon
 
so here's more progress

only thing I created myself, is if you read thru the thread you'll see the 3d model of a TechMarine Helmet I modeled, once unfolder gets it back to me I'll start building it
 
so here it is my latest update all the pieces in the photo have been slush casted now I just need to do the exterior bodywork

the armor doesnt have a bad weight its pretty load balanced but I definately need to pad the inside one so it sits better on me,

and two the collar was digging into my shoulders I was basically carrying the weight of the entire thing on two thin points

but once I get some stuff cleaned up and smoothed in the inside that'll not be a problem, then the found will be figuring out the

best way to mount them for those shots they were just stuck one w/ gorrilla tape
 
Wow. Awesome work. I noticed the same thing with the suit digging into my collarbones also. Padding will help with that though.



I'm trying to work out an easy way of attaching the shoulders to the upper arms. Let me know if you think of something first.

I'm thinking about them,.. havnt decided yet,.. I'm liking the idea of Gear Axe, and still trying to think how

to manage the arms before I put any effort into building them

A gear axe shouldn't be too difficult, you wouldn't even need pepakura for the post part, just cardboard tubes and hot glue.

For the rest of the armour however, in terms of modding it to a tech marine look, it'll be quite difficult - but if you do it right, awesome. Best of luck, sir.
