Hello y'all!
I've seen a few post of other people sharing their builds, so here I am adding my stuff I actually don't have any questions regarding this project, I just want to share it.
I am making the base out of pepakura. Then I will be adding fiberglass and epoxy, to make the armor durable. I have been thinking of making it our of foam at first, but foam is to leightweight and easy to deform, although it's not as heavy as epoxy. I have my boyfriend doing most of the fiberglass and epoxy stuff, as he already built 2 masterchiefs himself. But I definitly want to try doing that myself too.
I am only uploading a few pictures here as thumbnails, mostly from the pepakura bases, as i don't want to overload the forum. But I am uploading all other related pictures in the gallery, if someone is interested
Helmet
Torso
lower leg armor
Shoes
Shoulder
The helmet here is already fiberglassed, sanded and I added filler.
I will be editing this post over time, as to add my progress.
By the way, my deadline is set for end of february, so wish me luck xD
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And if you got any suggestions for me to make this even better, please tell me! I am always eager to learn new stuff!
