Mass Effect 2 Capacitor armor

Rogue Spectre · 08-04-2011, 02:03 PM

The legs where probably the most difficult part because there are not many good images of the legs and they are a wierd piece to form right. And of the legs the calf/shin armor was the one that took the most attempts to get right.
Calf piece

Butt cheek armor pads

Shin pieces

Thigh, rough layout

Belt holder for thigh piece

Actually I am trying to organize a big Mass Effect photo shoot. So far it looks like saturday afternoon before the good parties start. Hit me up on face book and I can fiil you in with more details. See ya there!

I saw photos of this costume and was most impressed someone had attempted one of the other Shepard armours. You really look the part too!

One thing id suggest and this is just from me seeing pics of the costume, is your crotch seems to hang much lower than it should. It looks like the cod piece is loose infront, perhaps strapping it so the strap run around to the back would curve it to sit better.

But that is it!..EVERYTHING ELSE IS BEYOND AWESOME.

Lol, yeah it is hang'n pretty low. My measurements where a couple inches off, but I realized it a little too late so I said the hell with. This is my first costume and it has given me a LOT of insight into costume making. There are a lot of things I will do different next time. I was thinking of maybe trying to make another set of alternate armor and selling this to some one who's a little taller than I. Thank you for the idea and compliments

Awesome work! Nice to see people doing other versions of the armor!

The fact that this is your first costume, makes it even more awesome.

Looks really sharp! What did you use to seal and paint it?

Thank you. I used a couple coats of "Krylon Fusion". Then I dry brushed a lighter coat of blue over that with some cheap acrylic hobby paint. I have been really busy lately, but plan on putting up a quick tutorial on how I did the battle damage.

Saw you at D*Con (at the Bar

) was an excellent costume.
