Re: Vacformed Warhammer 40k Space Marine Armor - Finished Suit Pics on p.17
They're cut out of MDF using a table saw, router, jigsaw, belt sander, and the Mk1 Mod 0 eyeball. The shapes were too simple to go through the trouble of making a digital model and then wait for the CNC machine. They were also too simple for me to spend too much time on, which is why you saw my friend Matt doing most of the work on that part. All I had to do was sketch out what I wanted.
Lopez, my CNC machine, is out of commission for right now. I'm still in the middle of troubleshooting, but when he's back on line I've got other things he'll be working on. You can see that project here: http://www.therpf.com/f24/just-what-forum-needs-another-ironman-build-170665/
What material did you use to make the blade forms? Were they CNC'd?
