Two words to describe your craftmenship: Epic Awsomeness!
- Shall I leave my mark whether it's good or bad?
- As long as people remember me famous or infamous,
- I  will remain and roam in this world Alive or Dead.

Thanks :) those are all first attempts too. I get bored easily and I always need to do something or I'll go batty.  ;D I have a bunch of artwork I am working on as well.

Did you use anything to strengthen the craft foam to keep it's shape?
If so, what did you use?

I can't believe those are all your first attempt! Your imaginary skills are amazing!
Very nice work, i wish you were here helping me out in person with my project. ><
This year I will Volunteer!

Excited about Karaoke Contest!!

It was the pringles cans I glued them on too. First I cut the cans into sections, different sizes depending on what I was working on. The I'd cut out pieces of craft foam about double the size of what I cut the pringles can shape.

like with the shoulder armor tips, all I did was pinch the foam in the middle, and used a hot glue gun to stick it to the piece I cut out. That is how I got the pointy tips. I used an industrial punch tool, to punch a hole in the sides for string.

It's really simple. Painting was the hardest. Some colors of craft foam don't hold acrylic paint. So I had to use black spray paint, or latex indoor/outdoor paint. Latex bends and stretches. It also helped stiffen the armor parts, yet still gave an allowance for movement. Unfortunately, the shin guards were never seen in the photos I have. But oh well.

XpHoBiaX

Yes I can. Although I may need clearer reference pics of the drill itself. :) Just to be on the safe side, especially if you want to be accurate.

I'm actually getting into working on prop armor.  I'm starting to make a pepakura mockup of the ODST helmet from Halo and expanding from there.

If you guys are working on armor stuff, I'd love to swing by to help out, learn a little, etc.

Plus Bioshock is awesome.

I live 2 1/2 hours away in Amador County. Ione. 95640. I'm moving to Fresno in September.
I don't know how we'd all get together. Since I am pretty far. I'd need to be picked up from Tracy, if we do decide to meet up or something. @_@
Also, It's easier for me to tell people how to do things when I am physicaly there. I can find tutorials for almost anything though. So if you need halo themed armor, starwars armor/clothes, fangs, predator/alien armor, veeneers, I either have a tutorial for it, or can find it.

Ruby:
I'll give you a list of materials. I'll probably have to make it, with a picture tutorial.

For the Kamui drill, you will need 3 2liter soda bottles. Craft foam. Maybe two or three pringles cans, and maybe one or two shoe boxes. (One large and one medium) I always get more then I need, becuase you never know if something will fail. lol I would also have a back up of poster board. Just in case. Most likely it'd be needed for the drills' tip.

As far as I can see, that is what you will need. I haven't found any more pictures of Komui. He's always with a computer pad thingy. I haven't seen D.GM though, but I will try and get around to it, to get a better feel for the weapon/tool thingy.

We'll figure something out.  :)

the 405th halo armor making site is pretty well equipped with tutorials for halo armor, so I'm good on that.  You and Calvin focus on the Bioshock stuff, and I'll just check in regularly to see if there's anything I can do to help or glean lessons from ^^  I'll be pretty busy with this ODST armor for a while, along with some other projects.

ruby19_4

k. I will start finding those stuff.

Waw. u sure live far. Aww..... Well, we'll see how we manage to be around. Sorry if I am rushing you. Let me know if I am starting to annoy you or something. I will stop doing it. I always want stuff to be early done. Since the time of fanime is also the final for spring semester. Thx.

O yea. Komui Lee doesnt have much.   

I found another pic that someone has made

Ruby:
No problem, I totally understand. It may take me a little while to get a few things, or I may just improvise. As soon as I start, I'll be posting up pics and descriptions for you. ;)
Thanks for the photo. :)


Trooper:
Yeah I am on The Hunters' Lair for predator armor building and skinsuit making. We've got a lot of Halo, Alien, and starwars peeps there as well. I hardly go there tho. @_@
