Mass effect Shepard cosplay

Nice tutorial!

Hope it was useful!

Really awesome. Thanks for the informations and good luck for further projects.

thank you :D

very nice work, and were allmost neighbors :D

seems like it :))

It looks amazing, nice foam work and amazing colors.

Thank you, painting is my favorite part ;D

I just can't believe that this is all foam. I am totally amazed. Wonderful job!

im happy how it turned out, especially because it didnt look like much before the paint came...

You did all of that in a week? AMAZING! I love how nitty gritty and battle worn it looks.

what can i say, i work fast when motivated :D thats what they teach you at my university, doing things fast and quick in limited amount of time and under pressure hahah
 
i do have things in mind next, i need to finish n7 rifle and then probably will start a DS project..




yeah templates are a great way to make things with EVA since with it you can get those curves and ovals

Do you carve the barrel curves into the larger armour pieces or do you bend them and some how epoxy them while they are stretched over a barrel curved form?

Your costume is a GREAT SUCCESS!!!

well the armor itself has curves, but i did use a heatgun to bend the shapes and kept them in position till they cooled off and kept their domed shape. I used my body to curve them (knees, legs) since the foam wasnt that hot. It also was useful to keep the armor on my poor improvised mannequin so they dont straighten out in time or just kept them up straight so that the curves dont get pulled down by the weight
 
Really lovely build you created! I especially love the unique color you chose!

Thank you, i always love cyan color and making the armor more metal was to my liking =p rather than mat black...


anyway i finished my rifle so here's the pictures. You can check out the progress on my blog or thread for more pictures..

The rifle is perhaps even more amazing than the armor, you're really getting the hang of this. Don't stop now :)


thank you :D i plan on making more.. I have few in mind...


Also i found my old account =/ i was wondering how someone took up the username i always use.. DOH...
 
Your custom paint scheme and armor pieces are fantastic. I was originally planning on the default red and white stripes for my own armor, but your build has inspired me to go a modified yellow stripe scheme for an Engineer look.
 
All of this is absolutely amazing!!
My boyfriend adores mass effect and I'd love to be able to make him his own armor and rifle!
Would you be able to send me a list of what you used to make it?
Again amazing work well done!! :) I'm new to the cosplaying myself but have done nothing as excellent as that!!! :)

Hey thanks :D i was going for the beatup/metal look , since i never liked how flat it looked when the color was just black (And cuz my eva was red so i couldnt leave it at base color)

Engineer-ateers are always good xD

Thanks :D you have all the materials needed listed at the description of my post, as for the rifle you have a detailed explanation/build on my blog (link is in my signature)
 
Thank you so much!!!!! :)
Once I have everything I hope I can do as half a good a job as you! cant wait to do this :D
Thanks again!!
 
Awesome costume and weapon, I love the paint job and weathering. Probably one of the best I've seen. Top job.
 
Very impressive! When I need to create faux armor I only use templates and craft foam (Foamies, EVA, etc.), so needless to say, I really love your work. Can't wait to see your next project!
