I haven't said anything in months about it, but I have been working on my Iron Banner Titan armor. I ended up finding whatever reference pics I could, either from here (thanks guys!) or on the internet, or even better, finally getting the armor bits myself by slaying many in the Iron Banner tournaments in Destiny itself. (I only just got the helmet in the game since they finally made it available). I took the pieces I had and also used the Destinytracker.com website to look over the pieces as closely as I could and when I was struggling with the chest armor I made a discovery. The in-game resolution parts are garbage and *nothing* like the published pictures of the armor, nor even the in-game, in-menu inspection pictures.
There are two different sets of armor, essentially, and I had to go through everything I had and all but throw away the destiny tracker in-game models, with exception to the back views, since that's all that exist. I began making my own patterns in photoshop and while useful for getting started, they had to be modified and changed multiple times through trial and error. That said, it hasn't stopped me from continuing to build the armor.
I'm hoping to unveil my Iron Banner Titan at the end of this month at Phoenix Comicon. I've been keeping quiet-ish about it, but I have been working diligently on it. It's been a bear because despite all the reference pics and such, I've had to make the patterns from scratch and even then tweak and correct them as I go. So far each and every part of the armor has been made a minimum of three times, with each attempt getting better and closer to accuracy. Still trying to figure out the visor situation. I'm hoping I can either A) find someone local who can sculpt one for me to vacc-form B) find anyone who can sculpt and vacc-form one for me. That's my biggest concern at the moment, but it's not going too poorly.
Here's a couple teaser pics of my progress (there's more stuff done, trust me) and I'll be posting everything in it's own thread once the suit is completed.. but I wanted to touch base let you know it's still happening.
