Gears of War v.1 out of FOAM (TB-21)

[Trek920]

eyeballed this. this is part one of several folks to do a group costume sometime in the near future....

how's this so far?

did the shins in about 2 hours. the torso took me today. about 5 hours probably. still modding it and making adjustments, and not nearly done...

but a good start.

 

[Trek920]

smaller circles on torso as well as some updates, and antenna, as well as right shoulder...

GL on the build
Grtz

Oooh, this is something I'm excited about. Agreed--keep us updated.

 

[Trek920]

its obviously NOT cannon, as there area far too many armor types to model off of. but it will certainly be gears armor.

I "tacked" the box on the left shoulder on, as it will be a spotlight.

Ahhh, the joys of foam armor. Excellent work my friend, keep the pictures coming, you're off to a great start and I have faith that this will be an awesome costume when you're done!

 

[Finnlock]

Looking great, keep up the fine work!

 

[TK648]

Very Cool
Looking forward to seeing more pics as you progress
thanks for sharing

Nice build, wish I could work as fast as the rest of you foam builders!

Is that minicell L200 or 300? What do you plan to seal it with?

 

[Flameout]

Nice to see Gears armor instead of Halo all the time. Keep up the good work

 

[Trek920]

no. its TB-21 same stuff i used on my Voltron.

Just primer.

 

[Trek920]

UPDATE

did a few coats of primer, and man does it make this look pretty awesome!

I realized that the one shoulder is rotated a bit far back so ill have to move it forward about 2" or so.

 

[Finnlock]

Looking great.
Not quite as bulky armor as other builds, which I think makes it look better.

Keep it up!

 

[PAULFIERCE]

What thickness is this Minicell foam?

 

[Trek920]

Minicell?

well i tried to make it bulky, but bulky for me. which isn't much.

6cm or just past a quarter inch...

 

[Trek920]

found an awesome light for the spotlight.

pics later today!

 

[Solochaser]

this is a great build. are you using patterns you downloaded? or something you made? i never used this foam tb-21 before. is it ridgid? The black paint really made a difference.

 

[jadedzen]

were do you get foam for a project like that? at a local Joannes fabric or??

 

[Trek920]

local plastics company. I got some for someone on here for i think 35 bucks for two 8x4x1"4" sheets for his voltron project.

its not rigid. well not really.

no patterns. i eyeballed it off of screen grabs, etc.

 

[Trek920]

added left shoulder and some of the final chest plates and re constructed a backplate
