There will be new pics up from time to time and i will be bumping this to inform you all when new pics are uploaded, or when i have more progress on my armor.
helmet is almost finished being sanded for some detailing. i have created the electronics for the internal LED for the visor polarization and have dremmeled the swich socker=t.
i hope to have the whole thing done sometime in the next two weeks.
i can see why you would say that the tabs need to be on the inside however i want a clean and un pockmarked cast with rondo so i put them on the outside where they would not interfere with that cast.
oh ok i ge it now, that is a pretty good idea and the rainbow odst helmet looks really cool (my mom said it reminds her of lego land because of the colors ) keep up the good work man
thanks. i should have some pics up by the end of the month of the helmet in all its glory........ so long as i can convince Sean to run a visor for me.
i used kirous helm. Rundown's was just such a pain in the a** to get all the little lines to come out right. i had to cast it twice and it still didnt work. so i went with kirous and did away with some of the littler details to get this beast done in time.
Disclaimer: No kirou i didnt export your model or edit it in any way shape or form. i simply sanded off some parts after the rondo cast.
anywho onto the pic update!!!!!!
Basic pics (overall side shots and front):
Detail Pics (Smaller details):
As you can see all i edited from the file kirou had was i sanded off those little square things on the base of the neck seal. Oh and i added a little suprise for those with good enough eyes to see it in the red.
I have yet to add the silver battle dammage but that will go on later on tonight and i should have the final pics up tonight.
well there will be some battle damage on the helmet when i get the time to do it. just to give it the well used look. as if it had been in battle for some time.
other than that i may redo the skull in the back and try to center it a little better if i can before the visor gets here. i may also carve the whole thing out like emile did with his visor. idk yet though.
ok. sorry bout the whole no pics thing. iv been really busy.
anyways i have made progress and i want to share it with you.
PICS AND UPDATES!!!!! =D
ok so i have finished the helmet to its final version.
My beautiful wife wearing my helmet. (its hella big on her. lol)
now for some pics of the shin guards.
the back half of the shin is ready for reinforcing and bondo-ing.
the front half still has some work to be done as you can see its missing the top two wings.
i also have the remainder of the chest pieces printed and peped but my camera died on me so im kinda f-ed on that part. sorry but those will have to wait a bit.
ok guys since i got my new camera this will be the first video update on my armor.
Bear with me through all the mess in our garage. we have still just thrown all the **** in there from our move. XD
lots of **** that still has to find a place somewhere.
anyways in the vid there is also pics of my dmr wip. im using L3X BLU3R1V3R's sliced DMR as a base and plan to sculpt the rest of the details with bondo and foamies.
and now without further ado, the video.
well thats it for this update. i will have some more by the end of the week.
I like the chest rig, dude. That is pretty cool. But why in God's name are you not using a Tippmann?!? Haha, just kidding. I am prejudiced against all other markers. But seriously, the AR looks pretty cool.
