Destiny 2 - Hunter, Warlock and Titan [ON HOLD]

[pazscall]

Hi all,

Welcome to my Destiny 2 build WIP.



I'm going to be making a Warlock, Hunter and Titan costume for my kids. The goal is going to be to finish by end of April, in time for the Calgary Comic Expo.

I started the build back in November, taking the time now over the Christmas Holidays to do a write up before I go on vacation.


Reference Pictures

I started by finding a few reference pictures.
I found these on the Bungie Destiny 2 Artist Reference Portal

Models - Pepakura Files

I then went on a search to try and find some pepakura files that could help me build the armor and helmet, that's went I stumbled upon this article on facepunch.com detailing a way to extract 3d models from this website https://lowlidev.com.au/destiny/gear-viewer

Once I had these models I was able to import them into Blender and simplify them so that I could import them into Pepakura.




Using the pepakura model I imported them into Armor Smith and sized them to my sons sizes


I refined the pepakura templates to simplify the for a EVA foam build and printed them out.

Prototypes

Some of the pepakura couldn't be refined (well not with my skills), so I decided to build a prototype so that I could test the Size and create better templates from them.
I Build the helmets and some of the rounder pieces in cheaper 6mm foam rolls that I got from CanadianTire.



I then wrapped the piece in plastic wrap and covered it in duck tape. I drew the pattern that I needed on and then cut it out and unfolded it. Once I had a smoother pattern I stared building the final piece in 10mm foam and smooth EVA foam that I got from TNT cosplay and justbecos.ca



You can see the difference the duck tape pattern gives. It has allot less seem lines and will be easier to finish and smooth out



Ghosts

I also started working on some Ghosts. I've made them out of foam core board (since I don't have a 3D printer)



Since I wasn't able to align the top and bottom correctly, I decided to build half the Ghost and Mold and Cast it (unless I get a 3D printer for Christmas )

Well, after tending to a few sick kids, I’m finally back at it.

Got a new toy for the holidays so I decided to put it to work.

Still need to clean it up and glue it but it’s looking good.

I also started working on the Titan leg armor

It’s a FLSun prusa i3 ... basically a CR-10 clone but cheaper.

Pretty nifty! If you ever need images for the Warlock, I have the 3A-Destiny Warlock figure I can post for reference pictures if you like. The level is detail is pretty darn good and very accurate.

Putting some ghosts together. Decided to go with the large version and print it at 100% instead of the small version at 200%.

Those ghosts look really good, they just need some TLC with some sandpaper to get rid of those printer lines! For the small areas of sanding, I suggest sanding files, sanding twigs, or sanding cones. I also highly suggest applying automotive Rust-oleum filler-primer and then sanding it down once it has dried. That will GREATLY increase the realism/detail of anything 3D printed! Then add a great paint job and viola!

While this is the project I will be working on shortly, the tools/items lists and the general steps which are listed are still valid. Give this a look-see and tell me if it helps! https://niemann3d.com/pages/car-smg-build

Definitely on my todo list. Most likely will be getting to that after I finish more of the other costumes.

I am really excited to see the final results. And like I said, if you ever need references for anything let me know! These are the figures I was talking about. https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=287076
