[whiterabbit19851]

So i abandoned my first attempt at the bondo stage as i realised it was far too small whereas this one fits quite snugly on my 6ft4 frame, anyways heres the progress so far enjoy...

ah thats a bummer, but that said redtogusa has confirmed he'll be at the october one and im doubtful i'll have the full suit finished by may anyway so chances are i'll be going also.

Thankyou very much, it is my second try however ive been doing art and painting all my life ^^ tbh im not really that happy with it.

Prepare to once again read the words; Good job!

Looking mighty fine so far, though I would agree there is a smidgeon too much battle damage on the front end. Unless that's a theme you want to carry on through the whole suit. Something to think about. But yeah, looking fantastic so far.

Yet another joins the ranks of the 405th attending MCM October. Going to be pretty damn epic to see that many Spartans in one place. Pressure is on for me to get my own Mjolnir to top notch in time.

I think that looks great. About the battle damage....who's to say how much is too much??? Only YOU. If you don't like it, change it. I personally don't think it's too much and I'd leave it! Especially if your using black, you'll need more to help the details stay visible. Plus that just means you fight harder....
Keep it up!!

 

[alexvago]

it looks great!! good job!

 

[whiterabbit19851]
