Hey Guys,
Figured it was time to post some pics of my first attempt at a build. My aim is to hopefully be done by November so I can wear it to the midnight launch of H4 at Eb in my town.
I've pepped the upper body (helmet, torso, wrists, forearms and biceps) and the cod (not resin coated yet). Reinforcement options are limited (hot glue method and some other tricks I've picked up) as I'm renting and haven't got a garage to work in (a mate was nice enough to lend me his backyard overnight to get the resin work done). I'm not particularly happy with my helmet, let's face it i went a bit over board with the auto filler, but I'm fairly happy with the wrist guards and the forearm.
My biggest mistake with the helmet was not pepping the visor. the whole helmet has warped to one side, but im hoping it won't be too noticeable.
Because i went overboard with the filler I had to mark out some of the areas with a blue marker and use a rasp to try and shape it.
As i said im quite happy with my fore arm, i'm just hoping to find a way to add even a little extra detail without having to start again.
The torso fits well with the minor exception of my huge head fitting through the neck , I can do it but it makes me wish i didn't have ears lol.
I made the join where it is so that I can use clips to hold it together.
Comments, questions, constructive criticism and or advice would be greatly welcomed being my first build I assume like everyone I have times when I have no idea what I'm doing. =D
