Wanting to create a female spartan outfit.

if you could draw up how you want it to look exactly (or have someone do it for you) you may be able to ask some one to somehow adjust a pep file to look that way but making it fit skin tight would still be a problem.

I dont think hes going for practical halo mjolnir and make it so that if it were real it would work. more for a my girlfriend wants some armor and i want to make it sexy cuz that would be awesome? Am i right? cuz thats definitely how i might do it XD
 
I think close fit would be good enough, scale the parts about an inch undersize so it would fit closer, the underarmor suit could be a catsuit if you want to go with the full body or a crop top and tight pants for the two piece look. It would depend on how much she wants to show :)

yeah i think it would to but i still think it'd be neat to get some one to mod like a mark VI pep file to look more feminine lol, i think you could get closer with that but that also has a few other things like breast size to factor in and maybe the width or her hips =/ so maybe just close is better

cuz remember that pm i sent you saying that i wanted to try and draw up some female spartan armor? i am almost finished ^^ as soon as i get it colored do u mind if i post it on here? or just like stick it in my gallery and pm u?

Yeah sure you can post it in here would love to see :)

ok! thanks for letting me post it in here ^^. i kinda based it off the pink one u put in the first post cuz the pose is the same and the legs and arms are pretty much the same too. but the chestplate and the helm is diferent.

i tried to make the lines more flowy and femininish but if it still looks a tad manly ull have to excuse me for being a guy =/ any way whatdaya think?

and what is a site that itll let me get the image url for so i can just paste it in?

That looks alot more decent. Even a under suit covering armorless areas still can be provocative. With a armor piece here and there to cover it all...it looks good :D

I agree. Fiberglass will not stretch or give and can be darn uncomfortable when it's on tight. As a lady, I can tell you gals have a hard enough time finding comfortable bras and panties at the store haha. So if you want this to fit in this manner you'll have to model to someone in particular as Spartan 161 suggested.

Hmm as references go, these models are rather romanticized, so I don't see the red one working in real life without a woman of some serious...caliber underneath to 'fill in' that much curvy and open space of armor (i.e. you'd be using both resin and silicon to get these results!).
Now, the green one (while it looks more suited to a leather working project) seems like a more plausible start.
Using that as inspiration, you could get a desirable result by sewing a tight fabric top (or using a sport bra) and applying separate, contoured armor plates to it. If it's just individual pieces put together it will be more comfortable and will be easier to fit to the curves of a woman. That way, you can get the suggested detail without it being unwieldy to wear.

The H2 pep is rather bulky no matter what the scale is (and this is certainly the goal for the original spartan concept) so you will have to do a lot of constructing and 'de-constructing' to get it to look more flat or tight (like the green model's calves for example). I did something to this effect to make my spartan space diaper the lady version. The pep models will certainly give you a starting place though.

I honestly think you can do this if you have enough patience and attention to detail. Just have a model to reference often! You'll probably be looking at around $200 USD like most good pep suits since you'll be using the same mats.
Hope that Helps,

(On a personal note, wearing something like this irks me hahah :lol: . (But I can see the appeal for you fellas to want to see a woman in this))

Ha Ha Ha Ha.... :lol:
That is too FUNNY!!
Gotta love a girl with a good sense of humor!! (y)

I have a totally new level of respect for you now Vexona!! ;)

Plastic will be much more comfortable and stronger.

Plastic can bend to a certain degree before snapping or warping, should feel alot better in some areas of your body.

Nice one thoren looks awesome!

Anyone know where i could get fiberglass cloth and resin in england? cheers.

oh thank you :lol: ^^ :lol: !! i had fun drawing it! as for fiber glass and resin in england, are there any hardware or home improvement type stores anywhere near you, and have you tried like a car stuff store. kinda like the store auto zone we have in the states? i think you can get it there. i know you could at like a home depot type store (assuming you know what that might be) and do you guys have Walmart over in England?

wal-mart is everywhere it's as wide-spread as McDonalds, no point in asking that :cautious:

Also, fiber-glass cloth and resin can both be bought online if you dont' have a place near you, here is a link someone posted some time ago, I favorited it.

I'd try making normal pep for masterchief, then when done, trim it to look more "girly" thats your pep file right there.

Ohh thats awesome, would anyone be able to turn that into pepakura files for me at all?

It is mainly just the chest plate and crotch area that needs to be changed the rest can be done the same.

No there is no walmart in England (well Ive never seen one, lol).

I wuld love to make this pepakura stuff, but dont know whether it would be practical, going clubbing in it and wouldnt want it to get ruined after i spent so much time on it, is it easily breakable? also is it easy to move around in?


If it doesnt go to plan may end up having to make a crappy one from cardboard, it wont look anywhere near as good but its something =/

I was suggested to use the pepakura but then simply cover with paper mache, surel this would fall apart easily though?

Cheers guys.

No model, no pepakura files.

Plus, look at the poly's, it would take years to make because of the detail.

never been out of the states either, I wasn't trying to sound mean, sorry, was intending it more as a joke, since wal-mart is seriously almost as wide-spread as McDonalds, they are everywhere.
