One of my favs for sure:thumbsup Outstanding job so far:cool

 

[00MrNotWrong00]

That is to cool. Very different from what I've seen others do, but very cool.

Keep up the good work.

 

[mrbungle]

thanks for the replies, how did the others do it??

 

[00MrNotWrong00]

Your obviously a very talented sculptor. Your lines are very nice and symmetrical and clean. It's a shame you don't have a manikin to build your buck mold on to vacuum form later.

I don't remember the web sit right off hand but most of the guys in the 501st will tell ya that this type of armor is mostly sculpted as a buck then vacuum formed.

But I love what your doing and It's giving me a few really good Ideas.

Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

 

[mrbungle]

thanks for the reponse.

i am going to vac form all the armor except the chest and the backplate and tank. the fear being if you pulled the tank and backplate that it would be too thin at the top of the tank. at least that was what i was told. so i am going to pull them out of fiberglass.

the kashyyyk scout's tank and back plate are one piece from the reference pics. not like the biker scout where it is two pieces. if i could do them in two pieces i would vacform the whole thing.

Nice sculpt :thumbsup
You could do them in two pieces, it's going to be painted anyway it would be no real hassle for someone to fill the seam prior to painting.

 

[mrbungle]

you do have a point. that is something i should look into. i would not mind cutting up a copy of the back plate and tank to get it ready for vac form.

Mr. Bungle--Mike Patton's band? I love it!

Oh, and awesome sculpt as well!

 

[mrbungle]

yes mr. bungle rocks!!!!

 

[cayman shen]

Patton's other band, Faith No More, was one of my teenage obsessions. Mike Patton is the man.

 

[mrbungle]

here is the boot armor so far. real tricky to get the right look. they will be vacformed. so should be able to cut to fit.

 

[mrbungle]

here is the belt,cod and belt buckle make up. i plan to make the belt out of rubber. the cod and buckle will be made of abs.
i left a flap at the top of the belt so you can glue the belt flap to the inside of the cummerbund. i will leave a flap at the top of the cod piece so the belt,cod and cummerbund are all connected so they don't shift around when you wear the costume.

here are the shins cut in half for the vactable. they are almost done just got to do some fine tuning to the centers of the shins and fill some small spots.

 

[mrbungle]

well here is a new helmet i just painted with the correct lense.

on the build front, still working on my vactable and hope to be able to pull all the armor out of hips or abs. i am leaning towards hips.

i casted the back plate without a tank and just the tank so it would be 2 pieces to form it should easy to put the tank and plate together for anyone who has built a clone.

 

[cayman shen]

That's looking sharp!

 

[mrbungle]

well here's another update on the build. i am almost done , i hope to pull the prototype in the next couple of weeks.

here is the shoulder, bicep knee pieces.

here is the chest

here is the back plate and tank. the plan is to cut out the tank grove i left in the back plate then take the tank and slide the tank through the plate. then glue and bondo it together and sand. i am also teying to get it where you just set the tank greeb in the pocket i am sculpting into the top of the tank.

here is the belt,cod and forearm piece, the belt is almost ready to mold so hang in there, lonescout! they are coming!

here is the shin and boot armor.

bicep and tank greebs.

and last but not least, the art director and ceo of mrbungle tech.....
coa-coa the wonder mutt!

Ditto to both.

Star wars: favorite movies and props.

Mike patton: favorite vocalist.

:cool

Really nice lookin stuff there! :thumbsup

 

[mrbungle]

here is the pic of the first full kit pulled. i have to fine tune the chest and back plate so i get pulls that go all the way to the platen. a little more work and should get cleaner pulls. some of the pieces are rough trimmed and some are not. i am using .125 hips and i am going to use .090 for the final pulls.

 

[mrbungle]

here is the mock up of the armor on. fits pretty good. putting the tank through the backplate is the most tricky part of this kit. t6he armor is just taped together. ignore the pistol sticking out of my paints..........S&W 40 cal.

 

[Trap Joe]

Beautiful. I wish they had used your, instead of CGI!
