Guilliman would be proud.
I cant get over how glorious that bolter is, its distractingly awesome. The whole suit looks really good together. I bet you can't wait to wander around in public with that boy on.

Dakarn · 05-22-2011, 07:18 AM

Two thumbs up!

Looks great!

GeneralJuan · 05-22-2011, 12:33 PM

I am a relative noob when it comes to all this costuming stuff, but I have to say, your costume is AMAZING.

You said that you used TB-20 foam and that it was 1/4" thick (i was indeed reading everything) but i am curious as to how you made it all curve and keep shape. also, where could one acquire this sort of foam, because i am looking into building a set of armor.

Grave · 05-22-2011, 12:45 PM

that looks great!

Trek920 · 05-22-2011, 01:07 PM

you can order it from me. i can have the foam/plastics place here in town drop ship it to you. $30.00 bucks for two sheets of 72x48 in white. in black or blue woudl be a longer wait and about 40 bucks.

i just used hot glue. it bends easy enough.

thanks very much. now quick question about this armor in particular. How did you manage to make the shoulders so well? I want to make the "Furious Gladiator" armor from WoW, and the shoulders look similar in shape, but ive been working with cardstock for patterns and can't figure out a way to get that seamless curve for the life of me.

Trek920 · 05-22-2011, 11:36 PM

oh there are seams. trust me. they are there. not sure if i haev pics of a step by step process, but bassically its a rectngle with "long triangles" cut out of the top side. i glued the middle 2 and outter singles together at the top, and glued everythign else in place afterwards.

mostly i didint have any templates, and eyeballed it all.

if you look back a ways there is one shoulder pad i built first, that the general concesus was it was far too small. i still have it, and am thinking about painting it up as something else.

GeneralJuan · 05-23-2011, 08:06 PM

Oh okay, thank you. i will try to do that, but im not quite sure how. I've decided on these: Furious Gladiator's Dreadplate Shoulders - Item - World of Warcraft
but i have no idea how to approach, if you have any advice for a noob, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sid · 05-23-2011, 08:14 PM

I love your detailing in the boots and shoulder-guards.

JohnnyBlitz · 05-24-2011, 12:20 AM

Awesome work, especially the progressive changes for capturing the favor of an Ultramarine.

Would you be so kind as to explain how you hold the various pieces of armor in place? Elastic? Velcro? Friction? Straps? Gravity? Etc... Thanks!

Trek920 · 05-24-2011, 04:56 PM

sure.

unlike TK armor, this is ALL done with Hot Glue.

i do have 3 quick release buckles in the back of the torso so i can put it on and off.

Trek920 · 06-04-2011, 04:49 PM

here are some pics from PCC this past weekend.

I love this one, cause I look like a toy.

EFFalcon · 06-04-2011, 11:58 PM

very impressive.
inspiring even!

kevinericon · 06-05-2011, 02:27 AM

Loving the pics, they're so awesome. And Wheaton's face said it all.

Mole · 06-05-2011, 03:22 AM

How did I miss this before? This is amazing! Finally someone who's done a Marine in scale, rather than stupidly oversized pouldrons and greaves.

Trek920 · 06-05-2011, 12:00 PM

thanks Mole! people kept asking me if I was gonna make it ten feet tall. still think i need to fix somethings liek the knees and shins, possibly bigger.

Mole · 06-05-2011, 03:47 PM

The legs do seem a little bit small but I put that down to camera angle.

I've always like the Mk6 legs. If you went with that style you wouldn't have to worry about working out the knee pads.

I also like the idea of a loin cloth. Robes could be cool as well but then you'd have to repaint as Dark Angels or Black Templars.

leach145 · 06-06-2011, 03:55 PM

Well done mate. I have been an Ultramarine player for about 10 years and this does us proud.

The loin cloth would be great as you have done a veteran colour scheme and thusly it is very apropriate.

Scale for wargames are always difficult as they are heroic scale - heads/weapons and often accesories are oversized!

Where is the bolter from?

Trek920 · 06-06-2011, 05:55 PM

bolter is made locally by a friend of mine about 15 years ago

funslayer · 06-14-2011, 02:37 PM

Really glad to see the finished version. It looks great!

Jediguy · 06-20-2011, 09:39 PM

So freakin epic!

Wesley Crusher has terrible trigger discipline. Just sayin.' But seriously, that is one bad Marine. Great work!
