I'm an airsofter too. Let me say that 500 bucks is a little too much for a weapon like that. Ok, it's a limited quantity, but the item itself it's nothing so particular and has no particular features (except the fact that nobody else has it in production).

My God...

On arnie's airsoft is said they will run only 500 pcs. On my experience I think the price probably will be around 350 $ maybe more.

Project paused. I understood I have A LOT of things more to know and discover about this world, so, before to make any mistake it's better to stop here. Thanks to everybody, for now.

Probably within a year I'll follow your path... Believe me, in these days I'm thinking about it, but I'll need a more detailed 3D scan, to follow it precisely. And it will take a LOT of time to make a "handmade" wonky scuplt with NURBS. I want to thank all of you for spending two minutes to share your opinion. As I'm new here nothing is granted. Besides, these days I've sent an e-mail to ATA, RS and TM... They'll for sure build one faster than me. Oh no... I'm sliding into the dark side of asymmetry...

This for sure is a limit of mine, for now. Imperfection stays at the opposite side of CAD but I like challenges... forcing a CAD to make something imperfect could be considered an art form as sculpting?

I think so, but I'm not as expert as many of you and on the other hand I'm sure that the asymmetric handmade result has a "warmer" feeling.

Hi Jannic, thanks. I'm trying, hoping in the help of the community.

Thanks TheKido. With both accepted, I'll prefer the simmetrical one, then. So I could build only half then mirror it... Thanks for following, I'm planning to go on a little again this evening, and to start the nose/cheeks section. The most difficult part is the front/vents as it attaches on lateral "tubes". I'm looking literally thousands of pictures and I'm still not sure how to make it right, mostly how much to smooth it.

First questions, doubts: - could a CAD scuplt be considered a "fan made sculpt" once completed? - I'm aware there are "symmetrical" and "asymmetrical" helmets. Are both 501 approved or only the "asymmetrical" (or "movie accurate") version is good? I've just read this, but the question remains...

Hi all, here is Lorenzo from Venice - Italy. First of all please forgive me for my bad english. I'll try to make my best to be inteligible. Here I'll share my step-by-step attempt to make a white armor in 3D (NURBS). I hope in a huge amount of suggestions, to make at least a "quite good" result. There's no other reason I'm doing this but passion and recreation. Maybe in the future I'll use these files to build an armor from CNC moulds but now I have literally no money to do that, so let's keep it virtual. Please feel free to tell me anything in your mind about the project, I'm a complete rookie on this. Let's go with the first pictures This is a file I've found online. It belongs to a 3D scan of somewhat helmet. For now I don't care about what helmet it is (model, make, version, whatever). My goal is to make a rough 3D file (it'll be something at least), and then apply the needed modifications, dimensions and so on. With your help, I hope. The only modification I've applied is on proportions. Following this thread I'd make it stay inside a cube of 30.5 cms (12"). In addition I'll make 2.5 mms smaller on each side, so when I'll use it to make a mould (maybe never...) I'll keep the right dimensions on the vacuum parts according to the plastic sheet thickness. Here are the first surfaces made (top and rear). The easier ones, obviously.
