The Beginning Of My Marine Suit

Here are some pics.



I got bondo on the inside of the ear thing

The Pep file has an inch cheek piece, and the game has a two inch cheek piece. Fail pep file, just need to get some hard foam and glue it in >_>

nice man.

Isn't your helmet a bit too large? Other than that, keep up the great work!

Yeah I've been thinking that. One size fits all?

Yeah I've been thinking that. One size fits all?

The bigger the helmet, the better. Other people may laugh at you and say 'look at him, he's wearing a big helmet!', but when your Pelican goes down and you're the only one without serious head injuries, you can laugh back at them.

Well at least it's not to large, atleast at distance it wont be too noticeable. One size fits all will work when/if I make molds and sell them on Ebay just need to include one 1", and one 2" 1x1 foot squares of foam. Now I don't feal like finishing it as much as I used too >_> .

Seriously though, don't worry about it. An oversized helmet looks better than an undersized one.

Keep in mind that you will probably grow into it as time goes on, so it will turn out fine in the end.

Nice choice using vrogy's pep files im using the same files for my marine! But im doing the unsc pilots helmet u should check it out, its pretty sick.

XD!

 

[Shadowrunner]

Looks pretty cool so far.

It´s already said, th at the helmet is to large, but who cares? More size = more detail. xD

everything else is just fine. Keep up the good work.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Yeah after I finish this helmet I moving on to ANOTHER helmet OMG . So my full suit is on hold until I regain interest in completing the suit.



Bondo, sand, spot putty, sand, paint!

Tore off the flap of what used to be the left ear cup-thing and made it battle damage. Improvising rocks!

 

[Deathcoreknight]

Nice armor and nice hero scape collection

 

[Roadwarrior]

COLOR!!!!



Failed attempt using ketchup, after this I used tape and made the edges not straight.

more paint.

Added black.

Taped off and painted the ear cups and back part.

Painted it grey then after it dried somewhat sprayed black then dabbed it off.

Sister wearing the helmet.

The tape wasn't pushed down al the way so it leaked.

Need to get some black electrical tape and put it where you can see blue when it's worn.

I'm gonna use my 400 grit sandpaper and sand the edges somewhat to make them stand out more.

Looks great, always nice to see something different on the boards. When I did the ketchup technique I actually used mustard and found I had the best results by applying and sort of artfully smearing it to look like a scrape. The next hard part was waiting for the paint to dry before seeing how I did. I also used it to clean up y sketchy bondo work- what better way to hide your mistakes than making them obvious?

 

[Roadwarrior]

Well I don't think I'll use the ketchup "technique" again.



Did some details.

I don't think it's too big now since I padded it better. I think it's actually the correct size.

Now onto my Fallout 3 BoS Powerhelmet YEAH!
