Noob & Rushed: I Can Do Better :-)

[sarne]

I finished this for halloween 08'. This was my first time ever doing any extreme costume building, plus I ran out of time and had to skip doing any detailing. I'm looking for constructive criticism...I think I can handle it hehe

The boots were not done when I took the picture.

What were you thinking..lol. Joking. Actaually a I think it looks good. There doesn't have ot be a next time. You can bondo that one up a little at a time and work the detail a lil more and then repaint it. I think you can have that suit to it's max potential.

Looks good for a first armor (I shouldnt say something, havent been finished on my yet ) Just some pices are looking like they are too big! I dont know, but i just think so! Great build!

 

[Ithica]

I agree on the forearms being a lil big.

Hey this looks great, forearms are a little big, but I haven't even finished my first... Not even close. Plus like Ithica said, you can work on this one more with bondo.

Well, geez... for a "rush" job, it still came out looking pretty damn good!

I mean, hell... I officially started my Mk VI armour almost two years ago, and all I've got to show for it is a nearly-finished helmet, lol. So, you've got me beat.

Critique-wise, the most notable areas that would need revisions for your second suit are the forearms and the biceps (upper arms). The forearms are definately too large, and the biceps just a bit.

All in all though, job well done dude

P.S.: I love your choice of colour scheme, btw.

EDIT: Oh yeah... and as Adam said below, use the HD Pep files for your second build. There's a lot more detail built into those, so it'll save you some time adding them in yourself. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about (accurized a low-detail Pep helmet), lol.

forearms are too big... thighs and shoulders are slightly too big.

Next time, go for the high def pep. Otherwise, that looks great!!!!

 

[Evella]

that looks great. At first I was expecting something extremely sloppy but it looks really good to me. I haven't even completely finished my helmet yet, so congratulations!

 

[Outlaw Tiger]

not bad at all for a first attempt that was rushed haha. i would have to agree with everyone, the forearms are too big. though i haven't even started my armour yet lol so i don't have very much weight behind my advice lol

That's really good for Low Def, Nice job, Try Hi Def next.

 

[sarne]

Wow, thanks for all the great comments and critiques, I really appreciate it!

I think I'm going to shelf this armor and most likely start over with the high def files after I am done my current project (Ironman).

Thanks again everyone, the 405th community rocks!

Looks good for a first set. The armor looks like all the paint has been rubbed off, and gives a metal look to it. Very Nice.
