WIP* Bandit Thug Helm (Borderlands)

[Z0M8I3]

This looks really awesome. I hope that I'll be able to make stuff this good looking when I start.

That's very flattering, Thank you


Last Paint update:
Got the smaller details painted in this morning. I didn't happen to find the right clear coat, seems living out here in the sticks proves that you can't even get the right paint can... so it goes unprotected for now.. Next I will be adding the straps and few minor details to the rear of the helmet. I'm also going to look into getting some yellow/amber tint to do on the lenses to give it a more uniform color for daytime wearing.

As always, Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Thanks Snilton! Unfortunately your link isn't working for me, I get a 404 when I click it

As far as firearms go, the standard ones would be great. And if I could make a special request for a RAW revolver like Late to the meeting had mentioned and a blue sniper rifle with yellow glowing parts on the sides(Can't think of the name) as well please if possible. The two special requests aren't needed right away. Those are going to be for a hero build I have planned.

I was thinking of doing his too! Maybe after I get this one and the Bandit psycho done I'll tackle it or a hero. That is, IF I continue to get the much appreciated help on the models from Snilton

Thanks Snilton, Link works just fine and I've already unfolded and pepped a test knee pad. I'm going to check later on tonight for the names so I can find some pics, I'll get back to you on the weapons.

Thanks again for all the help!

Edit: (If these Pics won't work for you, let me know and I'll try to get better ones)

Here's the sniper rifle:

Here's the revolver:

I have a hard time identifying the parts.
Could you get in game pics of them?

Not a problem, I'll try to get some in game shots later tonight.

Here's some pics of the sniper. It's about as good as I'm going to get since I own the game on console. The sniper is a "GGN29 C Erupting Sniper".

Hope they help
Thanks

EDIT:
One picture from the side would be enough

And yet again, Snilton doesn't disappoint! Thanks bud :cool

 

[Z0M8I3]

Well Guys, Here it is...The LAST update as far as the helmet goes! It's now finished. I added a few details to it as well as tried to keep with the "drawn" look of it to stay as true to the original as possible.

And there it is in all it's cell shaded to realistic glory! Let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone who has chimed in and keep an eye on this thread as I will soon be starting the actual outfit!

Ahhhh... entry level pep at its finest! You make it look extremely good though!

 

[Snilton]

Aren't you gonna weather it?

Thank you, Was a challenge but well worth it. Can't wait to finish this project as a whole so I can start on another! :cool

Aren't you gonna weather it?

I was thinking about it but the real weather is getting too cold to paint outside(dirt/dust effects with some spray). I still plan on adding rust and such as those things are going to be hand painted so I guess I was kinda wrong about being finished for good on it. :$

Is there any way you could get me some renders of the outfit for reference? I found the textures in the files you gave me but my knowledge of 3ds max is limited and I can't get it to fit the model correctly.

[Late to the meeting]

LMAO! It's all good, Thank you :cool

I am very proud of this. This was my first actual time unfolding a project and then pepping it myself and not using someone elses pep file.

 

[Z0M8I3]

Does anyone know of a good way to obtain some orange/amber lenses(or some material to make them) for the helm? It's been sitting here staring at me on my desk and the more I look at it, the more it needs them to "finish" the look.

Any help would be appreciated. What I'd really like to find is some orange mirrored window tint to use but after searching all day yesterday I didn't find any.
