[WIP]Crysis 2/3 Nanosuit: Chest update (Mar 31)...PIC page 5

dude simply exquisite craftsmanship great work cant wait to see more !!!

Duuude, it's awesome. I have not finnished one from Crysis. I have to cover my paper model with the glass fiber. But I still have no time for this. xD Now I working on 3D model of Iron Man gauntlet gloves, preparing model for 3D printing (excatly like they from Legacy Effects) For sure I will write about it on the forum when I done.

Finally some updates

I decided to continue to build the arm this week.

here are some pics:









Now it only remains to construct the left arm in papercraft

And today I managed to advance in the mold of the helmet. I did the first half







Hope you like it

Wow this build looks fantastic!

Today I finished the second part of the mold (finally!)




but unfortunately I could not separate the two parts(was my first experience with mold ... don't blame me )

So I had to destroy the positive mold



now I have a big mess to clean

Oh man that sucks with the mold! forgot release between the halves? Bummer. If youre careful I think you can saw the halves apart, I'd make the joining flange much thicker first though.

Bummer, no idea on molding but I hope you can salvage it.

far out this is a heck of a job. hope not alls lost mate cause its lookin badass!

The helmet was looking GREAT, I hope you come out of this successfully, I can't wait to see it

EDIT: Oh and as a tip for using fiberglass, When you go to make your flange where you will split the mold. Using some clay attach some playing cards covered in aluminum foil to make the "seam". Fiberglass resin usually doesn't stick to foil or parchment paper. I'm not sure if it's depending on brand or not but I don't think it matters in that case.

i was just about to say that. aluminium foil is a time saver when it comes to resining. i generally cover all my workspaces with it before i start resining.

For the most part and to be on the safe side yes, a petroleum based release is what you should use. This can be just petroleum jelly (aka vaselene) or anything similar.

You're very welcome.

Goodluck with the project, I'm sure you'll have a great suit!

You typed correctly without translator. Sometimes the translator is the weak point in a conversation online but seems that you almost don't need it anyways

I've made 2 videos ulfolding and arranging the pieces of the suit's arm:

[Papercraft cosplay] Crysis 2/3 part 1 - unfold - YouTube

[Papercraft cosplay] Crysis 2/3 parte 2 - Arrumando - YouTube

I don's speak nothing but it can help someone.

another update: I'm actually gluing the last part of the suit(the left arm), probably, tonight or tomorrow, i will take a pic of the entire suit in papercraft and post here

question: the forum has some tag to show a youtube video?

(again without a translator... correct me if you want, plz )

i have one question tho: how are you gonna get the helmet out of the mold without breaking the mold
