Hello to all,

I have been playing a lot of FireFall as of late. I have decided to build a Dreadnaught battleframe. I looked for lots of HD and fan art references and found one that i want to make. I will be making modifications to the originals to put my own spin on them. Im not looking to get this done quickly. I just finished my first Bachelors degree and I'm starting my second one in a few weeks, so i wont have time to work on it a lot. I will post updates when i can. If there are any questions on anything feel free to email me with them.

So far i have designed a assault rifle for the suit. Now all that is left is to unfold it in Pepakura. I have never attempted to do unfolding before, so i will have to take my time an make sure it all comes out correctly. Below are some images of the rifle i have made and some of the reference images i found to use to make the suit.

Had a few minutes this morning to start the outline for the chest.

Got some more work done to the back of the BattleFrame. The new Arsnault BattleFrame came out yesterday so i think im going to put the rocket pods on the back some how. What i got so far.

Thanks man, i appreciate it. I plan on making it out of foam, but im going to be making my templates out of cardboard first to test for scale. I just got done making my manikin replica of me, so i can make it very accurate. I might be building most of it by hand with a lot of trial and error as well.

I did not like the way the chest piece was coming out. I am working on a re-design for the structure of the chest and back. Here is a progress shot of that so far. Trying to make it be as contoured to the body as possible so i can move in it very easily and not have it end up being a large bulky piece of armor that is hard to move in.

Good luck man, I will be watching this. I am a dev at Red 5 studios and we are always excited to see what our fans come up with. Just a quick observation though, the reference you are using looks a lot more like an assault frame than the dreadnought. Regardless it will be awesome to see the finished project .

Thanks man. Love the game, the new arsenal battle frame is sweet! I was thinking of adding in rocket pods like that on my battleframe. Here is a little update on my frame.
