Starcraft Marine build. Foam build

[GunslingerDirge]

Good day to you sirs. its has been a very long time since I haven't posted anything here in 405th.... its been like years now... i think... hehe.... and since then a lot of things happened.
well one of which is I finally build one of my dream build which is the starcraft marine build starcraft 2 tychus findlay to be precise... ever since i started playing starcraft when i was a small kid i always dream of wearing that armor. And finally that dream came true.

I started this build last January and finished it about the end of February

here is the finish build.



the W.I.P is here. Its not a 100% accurate since i did not use any templates or patterns nor using pepakura, i just used my eyes ( I called it eye magic) and most of the time i stared at an empty blank space for several hour and releasing my frustrations to my cats..... (heavy petting) ah with occasional headaches too.... hehe

hehe my master chief helmet just want to hang out in the armor

the giant diaper or pelvic piece


I took each part out for further detailing, specially on the seams part...


ill upload some more pictures later on the painting part armor... didnt took pictures much during the first phase on cutting the foam or rubber sheets... I was like on a speed build and caught up on the lazy phase in my body...

hope you sirs liked it... more pictures later...

Thanks. oh Ive never seen this pics before... thanks...

More pics

painting part
I used silver as a base paint so that the actual paint job would stick...


the pauldrons




The hands. You can actually see the joints in its fingers that i used line yards to make it articulate as possible..

and the rest


applying the actual color without the weathering...

and after drying, details and a little bit of weathering..



same goes to the pauldrons, you can actually see some paint stripped on the surface....


AAANNDD here is the almost done product... this is the Test-Fitting stage...


just want to add it here. A lonely starcraft 2 marine enjoying the skies...


The finish product with some leds, I still have to install a working visor and some fans inside..

Note: I have to let it stand on top of my toll boxes since my cats might view that as a new scratching post..





and next stop would be the gun which im currently working on right now... gonna post the wip here though..




this is the stage to where I am right now...



for size comparison...


more pics on the wip of the gun soon. Thanks for viewing.

Can't wait to see the finished gun! The paint job you have done really makes this suit pop! And your welcome. For the pics that is. It's funny though. I told myself I don't think I could ever accomplish a feat this big. But, it sure would be awesome for someone to make this suit! Glad someone actually took the time to put one together! Cheers to the work you have done so far!

Really impressive work, through and through! ^agreed that you really brought it to life with that paint job :thumbsup
Seems like you managed to keep the proportions and placement of parts in order as well, I appreciate the difficulty of that on larger builds such as this so great job! I'd be curious to see it in motion
