MGS4 Raiden WIP UPDATE 6/27

precious · 06-01-2011, 10:47 PM

jwstroud84- My most recent picture of the headset is in post #11. It hasn't been worked on since then.

I just demolded the arms, and I've got a few questions for anyone with experience. There's a small piece that broke off near one of the seams. Should I just glue it back in? There was also a mottling effect caused by the PVA, even though it was sprayed on. I was thinking of using layers of primer and sanding it smooth to get rid of the mottling. Anyone have any input on this?

One question , are you going to cast a transparent lip or just paint the jaw-bone in your skin?

Azurial · 06-02-2011, 07:11 PM

okay, im not familiar with this character at all, but this is sweet!

I love Raiden! Probably one of my all time favorite video game characters! Can't wait to see more updates [ especially the headpiece ]....

My first post, and I just had to comment on how cool this is gonna be! I'm excited for the final suit!

Thanks everyone!

maverick626- Yes, actually I recently sculpted the lip so a mold can be made.

I've also sculpted the legs. They've been covered in gelcoat, and today I plan on fiberglassing them.

My husband has been working on the headset. He's cut down the earphones and cast them in resin so they'd be lighter, and the jawpiece is now rigged together with elastic to allow for easier speaking. I unfortunately don't have photos of those at the moment.

After fiberglassing the legs, I'm going to finish removing the clay from the molds (which is a bigger task than I expected) and repair a few places in the gelcoat. I'm hoping to do the silicone casting this weekend! Finally!

I'm a HUGE MGS fan, and this build looks amazing! (as does your previous work)
Any progress to note?
