[QUOTE="Hoplitespear, post: 3655137, member: 93625"] [b]Re: Half life 2 - HEV Suit. (pic heavy)[/b] Thx for the compliment! To awnser your question I used the files described in this post: [URL]http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=192894[/URL] But those are the[B] pep[/B] files. I went and build most of the parts roughly in paper (roughly meaning i didn't glue any of the small edges giving thickness to the armor. Just the big parts.) After i made them in paper i decided where to cut. And what to keep together to make foam patterns. For example the upper arms and legs are all one piece. So print out the pep, cut the parts, glue all the edges together, leave one edge open. transfer to foam and glue shut. Just think good about the edge you wanne leave open, on where it will sit when you put the part on. I can show you most of the choice's i made. But for the lower legs it was all done freehand. (it was a pain in the ass =( ). When I'm home from work i'll try and make some pictures of what i kept together and how i cut the patterns. Its pretty much straight forward though. [B]EDIT: the examples [/B]The colored area's represent one piece. The thick black lines represent where i glued them together. (i know the back and front are not the same side but u get the picture.
