Great work, almost there

thank you

I finished touching-up the thermal detonator, then added glossifier to it and the thighs, shins, and dropboxes.

I think I will remake the chest plate too, because the seams were horrible on it. this will be the third time I will have to make the chest...

 

now I just need the fabric belt, some sort of holster, helmet, ab dots, neck seal, boots of a sort, and some strapping.

 

the end is near...

alright, finished plasti-dipping the shins and the thermal detonator, and cut out some in the back of the shins to allow for more movement like the screen used suits, but I took the pics before I did that.

 

 

 

also masked off the white areas on thermal detonator to brush-paint the gray

gray added

going to need to touch it up a bit, then add plastidip glossifier to it along with the shins, thighs, and some more on the dropboxes.

Thank you!

thermal detonator done!

its a little bit long and kinda lopsided, but I doubt anyone would notice/care.

WIP thermal detonator

its been snowing alot outside the past few days, so I can't paint for now. there may be a halt on overall progress for a bit.

shins finished with plastidip, and drop boxes with glossifier added

still need to do a few more coats on both

WOW you gotta have some patience putting that together, I think I'll stick to vac formed plastic 

 

Really amazing what can be fashioned from foam and paper/card

thanks! yeah this stuff takes alot of time and patience... too much time and patience... I really don't feel like doing all that fiberglass and bondo. I might just buy a rubies helmet and mod it, but I'll try it first, since I've never done a pepakura/papercraft prop before.

I definitely did some parts wrong though

Coming along nicely.

 

For some reason the forum does not like Imgur videos, if you want them to show try using YouTube as there are no issues with them showing 

alright! i've just never put videos on youtube before . I probably won't post anymore videos anyway.

The brass looks kinda cool, I think. Gives the already colorful helmet some more colors

Thanks! But also what is the story behind CAP? I've seen it referenced everywhere but never the actual story.

[Moncals armor kit edit: never mind they're on the vetted maker list]

Is moncalspropshop on eBay a good vendor?
