Re: Sylgian's 40K Space Marine [WIP]

That is a freaking masterpiece. I was hoping it would turn out like this as it came together.

I have some fresh pictures and video from a smaller con I attended a week ago! I thought everyone might like to see more finished pics.

I love how the desk clerk is snapping a picture. Also, is that guy actually that huge or was he standing on something?!

From what I read in another post, that guy is that big. He stated he was the only person at the con he didn't have to look down to!

He is THAT big. His name is Theodus Crane, you might remember him as "Big Tiny" from the prison in The Walking Dead. He was a special guest at the con. Super nice guy.

Oops, somehow I missed that earlier I guess.

Ha, that seems an appropriate name. I have yet to enjoy the privilige of watching The Walking Dead but when I do I'll be sure to look for him.

Woah man! Outstanding! Whats the comfort level like? You looked worn out in your helmet off pictures, haha.

Another Con update: Went to Animate! Miami this time. We took home best in show and possibly wound up on the upcoming season of Heroes of Cosplay. Whatever your feelings about the show the cast and crew were really amazing. Loads of photos and a video below.

Here is some video of the event: Crimson Fists Space Marine @ Animate! Miami - YouTube

This is an absolutely amazing build! Thanks for being so detail-oriented in your posts as I plan to use some elements of your build to help get mine off the ground. I do have a few questions, though they may have been previously answered and I missed them.

1.) What was the final cost for the project?

2.) What thickness was the foam you used? I am looking at using 5mm foam for my suit.

3.) How badly do you sweat in the suit, even with the backpack fan?

Thanks!

Thanks!

5mm is too small for the bulk of it. A majority use 12mm / 1/2 inch. 5mm would be better for smaller and areas with a good curve. Check out Obscurus Crusade - Index . Forum is dedicated to Warhammer builds

 

[darianwiccan]

Thanks for the suggestion Amish. I'll check out OC some more and look into the 12mm EVA. I have a pepakura Space Marine helmet sitting here that I'm converting to chaos presently, and I think I'm going to resin-soak the helmet and then do a foam skin with 5mm, but will probably then go with straight 12mm foam build for the rest, along with some sort of understructure to make it stable like Sylgian did.

I found this thread while doing research to begin my own space marine cosplay and created an RPF account just to say well done!

I was wondering if you'd made your 3D printed files available. While I don't own a printer personally, there are a couple at the local hack factory that I could probably convince someone to show me how to use.

Thanks!

The final cost was roughly $1300. I did a good amount of experimenting though, so costs could be cut a bit. The vast majority of the foam is 1/2" thick. The exception is the detail bits. Those are made from foamies sheets of various thicknesses. The suit is hot, I do sweat, but is bearable, just be sure to keep hydrated. The discomfort of the suspenders will make me want to get out of the suit long before the heat.

I don't promote it very much, but I do sell a few 3D printed bits and pieces via my web store here: Home · garysterley · Online Store Powered by Storenvy

Not everything is available. Many of the small pieces just aren't worthwhile for me to produce and sell, because...economics. But is you don't see something on there and think it should be, feel free to ask.

Also, this is worth a share. Thanks to the stairs on the convention stage, my knees were damaged needed service. the good news is I got to take these pics of a cool feature of my armor that no one ever gets to see. Inside all of the major armor pieces is an internal structure built of PEX tubing. It acts as a skeleton of sorts. The skeleton keeps the armor pieces in shape and provides me with rigid mounting points to attach all the pieces together.
