Serious question here:
So what is everyone's opinion on game accuracy versus add your own individual flavor to a build? I know the default response is probably along the lines of "do what you want, it's your build and armor. Make it yours." I am just curious about how other members feel towards it. I initially started off with a game accurate build mindset and feel for the most part that I have adhered to it, but on the waist plates, I did add my own bit of customization and changed the shoulder piece hinges. There are some other small details I looked at adding that are not game accurate, but think that it would enhance the build, but then when I fit the piece, the angel on my shoulder tells me to keep it as game accurate as possible while the devil on the other side says go for it. LoL.
So what is everyone's honest thoughts on this when you are building your sets?
Those clean cuts will help me sleep at night knowing how crazy good they are.
Amazing work as per usual!! I'm psyched to see those gauntlets!!
Good morning everyone. So it seems that I have come to yet another crossroad and thought I would throw out yet another opinion question. I have been reading just about everything on the web and this site about 3D printing and have the funds to purchase an entry level 3D printer ($300 - $350 range). The question is: What is everyone's thoughts on this? I am an above average computer user and don't fret the learning curve, but is it worth it? Seeing some of the posts of 3D builds and the overall capabilities of a set up like this, it looks like this is the future. So if you had the opportunity to go for it, would you?
OK everyone. Officially at my wits end now on these forearm pieces and looking for some guidance and advice. I have tried three times to get this but without these things looking like hand cannons attached to your forearms, how is everyone making these and getting them to a small enough size where they look sized correctly, but still able to get their hand through it. Two pieces? I've tried a velcro option, but that leaves a gaping gap due to the extreme curvature. I am about to scrap the whole file system and go freehand using a duct tape pattern and pic references, but that still doesn't solve my dilemma of getting my hand through it.
Any tips, guidance, or advice is more than welcome on this part.
