  3. Anh Pre-Scultring Questions

    in The Foundry - Armor and Prop Making

    Posted

    Hey guys!

     

    I'm working on my first CAP-armor kit and will join the Legion before the fall of the year (as I hope :) )

     

    We here in Russia also want to create accurate TK kits. We have access to vacuum-forming device and the main problem for the sculpt is canonical measures and templates.

     

    My research of the topic has draw me at the edge of sadness and despair, because the only thing I've found is very old web-pages with some sizes.

     

    Can you advice me where to start? We don't want to create recats, so, we have only one way -- sculptings. But before we even start to create something, I must be sure that references and sizes will be accurate.

     

    Help me, please. Any help will be much appreciated.

     

    Thank you!

    Thank you for the advices! :)

    Nah, I have decided to start with the gauntlets. Firstly, I must notice that my main objective -- Centurion status achievment at the moment of whole costume approval.

    So, I must assemble the kit properly. Here we go. I need to trim off the returning edge of the wrist side of the gauntlets. And I did it.

    Now it's time to assemble it.

    In next days I will do the second bracer. It is almost trimmed and almost ready for assembling.

    Also I've started to think about power cylinders, I have found the research topic at White Armor. So, I have bought 10mm Alu tube. Look, what we got. Cap  on the cylinder is made for the test. I think I'll remade it, will make it wider. Anyway, I like it.

    Small update!
    I have passed the counter element, and tryed to do End Cap element. So, here is the process:

    First, I have done template and cut some layers of PVC with it:

    Next step. I  have glued it together and cut the inner diameter to put the cap on the base tube of the gun. And cover it with putty to fill in and make it more plain. As we can see, it fits the tube quite nice!

    And the... sanding... sanding... and sanding...

    Now I have covered it with the next layer of putty. It is needed for maikng  the final form (wider at the end). I think there will be more updates soon. While the putty is drying, I'm working with the grip.

    New update!! Creating front nozzle.

    I'm using 3mm PVC to recreate the nozzle with the  templates. I'm understand that it is the first experience. If it looks not good as it can be, I think I'll recreate this in future. And yes, I know that the largest circle must be also drilled. ANd I'll do it after glueing all the module together.

    Here it is:

    Also I have the question. How it looks better: with 2 or 3 layers on the middle section? The picture with 3 layers you can find below.

    Greetings!

    While I still need to order armor, I have decided to craft E-11 in ANH style using scratch build method. I searched the Internets  ( :) ) and found some templates in this topic:

    http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/25620-esb-e-11-templates/

    But they are ESB. And there are no template for the pistol handle. Can someone help me with the ANH-friendly templates?

    Thanks!

     

    UPD.  I have found also this.
    http://www.egner2design.com/E-11-PVC-tutorial.pdf
    But still no pistol handle (and another additional parts) templates.

    Greetings from Russia!

    Hey there!

    Well, it seems that I'm the new blood here :) I'd like to find new good friends here and find the advices to my future build. I have some experience of crafting costumes as Mandalorian Mercs Official Member, but we have a whole new galaxy here :) So, I'm a totally newbie!

     

    My name is Andrey, I'm 27 and loving SW since I was 3 years old.

     

    For the build I'm going to make the order in this workshop:
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scootchs-Custom-Fab-Shop/213924908786578?fref=ts

     

    And, yes. I love the ANH gray and black frown/teeth.
