Thanks Thorn, your armour is looking AMAZING.


Finally got some progress to show, finished fiberglassing the helmet and chest.

Looking good! 17 days... that's some crunch. I'm rootin' for ya man. Can't wait to see her finished. Keep up the awesome work!
 
Looks sweet, im hoping to make a bit more progress on mine soon, and hopefully i can get my bondo as nice as yours. Keep it up, and keep us posted
 
@ Jocko03 Thanks man, good luck with your build!

@ Fudz073 Thanks :D 7 days now!

Sorry about the slow updates but crunch time is indeed very crunchy,

I've been trying to find the right colour for the armour ( Chief Green ) which is been difficult since you have to be over 18 to buy it here so none of the shops stock it. ( Have I mentioned that gold visors are illegal here as well...)

I finally got some at a graffiti art shop, the guy at the shop was really helpful and the paint was a lot cheaper.

Ive been working flat out on the bondo and sanding and I had to draft my Dad and elder Brother to help with the sanding.

Hey Guys, last weeks been Really busy I only got the armour to a wearing stage two minutes before we had to leave for the Expo. I got to try it all on for the first time at the hotel, surprisingly it all fitted pretty well!

The walk to the con was pretty weird there was no one else in costume around and we were getting some strange looks, crossing the street was kinda exciting since my walking speed was comparable to that of a turtle.

Once we got there it was ******* awesome! we couldn't move five feet without someone asking for a photo :D Everyone was really nice!
On the second day we decided to enter a cosplay competition there was a lot of really cool costumes. then....holy **** I won second and my brother Ezio won third:eek

I would have liked to get more done before the Expo I had to use the previously mentioned warped cod, I didn't get all the LEDs I wanted in, just the forearms and helmet, The rubber on the boots was falling to bits. The Visor was duct taped in so that needs some work, The strapping could use some work too right now it takes two people ten minutes to strap it on me, and I really need a weapon..... so yeah lots of stuff I still want to work on:D

since the biggest thing I've made before this project was scratch build Warhammer miniatures I have learned a lot And have an appreciation of how much work the 405th have put in to their Armour...
Thanks to everyone of the 405th for their tutorials threads and pictures, Especially Longshot! Thanks for the comments guys they kept me going!

Sadly not my gun :(

Cheers guys!
 
Halo and Gears mixed?! I like it :)

Very nice suit! I almost didn't like the color but seeing it in pics of you wearing it, it certaintly looks very good!
 
OMG! That's my first impression.

In the span of your 12 posts... OMG!

I keep looking at your pics and can't stop staring at them.

My hat's off to you. Very execellent work on your armor, especially the paint job. Love the color choice!

I totally know the feeling you got from your 1st outing to the con. I've been wearing mine to many places and events and I keep getting that exact same reaction from the public. The experience that you described from that outing tells me that you really did craft a superb set armor.

KUDOS,

Kevin
 
Nice to see you make that deadline. So now that you got the bug you going to go back and fix parts? and/or start a new build?
 
Thanks a ton for the comments guys!

@Longshot Thanks so much that means a lot! You've been inspirational I couldn't have done it with out your thread :)

@thorn I'm definitely going to keep working this armour, I've still got a ton of stuff i want to do!

I haven't got many good pics yet but here are a couple more

There's going to be another con in a couple of weeks ( Supernova ) I hope to get the shotgun built by then and the strapping sorted out so I don't need a team of people to put it on and off.

Cheers
