Ultramarine - Human sized

[Trek920]

the mk8 helmet.

yes i moved the shoulders out as well.

the weight is probably 2 pounds?

I always though that those Space Marine costumes were way too bulky, this one is turning out to be almost perfectly proprtioned. Well done so far keep it going

 

[chimmera30]

Wow man your armour is amazing,I love how big and bada$$ it looks!
Sweet detail too,gonna follow this one till the end!

 

[Trek920]

thanks guys.

and please, as always, if somethign just isnt right, let me know.... just like the chest issue. I can fix it. but its better to have more than 2 eyes on it.

 

[mgbeach]

it's not too late to change it to a Chaos Marine.... mwahahah

seriously though, good stuff. beefing up the chest was a good move. the seals are on point.

 

[Crimotaku]

Cant wait to see the gloves and see how big the fingers are. DOW marines cant exactly pick their noses lol

 

[Trek920]

DOW? mine is just a regular SM.

the glove rock. not painted yet...

Awesome costume!

The chest and shoulders are perfect, they are proportional to what a full size SM would be. Your mid section needs a flat armor piece across your stomach and some flat, thick heavy cabling over it or a big belt and buckle to fill in that space.

Take a look at these Ultramarine figures for some ideas:

is the belt im wearing too small than?

yeah ill be making the torso piece today

 

[CyberPaddy66]

I don't think the belt is too small it just needs an ab section like this...

 

[Trek920]

think I still need to curve the chest a bit more...

added tubes...

 

[Trek920]

double post...weird..

The armor up till now is looking great, but agree, the chest piece is still not quite right. The one thing that makes the marine armor look impressive is the physically imposing size. I agree, the chest plate needs to curve out more.

However, looking at the miniature directly above the post, you also need to create a taper on the sides, making the piece broader at the shoulder level, then tapering towards the waist, which would probably accentuate the bulk of the chest plate.

 

[Trek920]

i dont think that is possible due to the proportions of my frame. the arms woudl end up looking way too small, but I'll see what i can do.

 

[MykiiAmore]

What if you just wear a blue undersuit and have no abpiece? That way you will have it look more like the model?

 

[Trek920]

well the ab section isnt painted just yet. still building it.

 

[CyberPaddy66]

Hmmm... loft my post

I agree with Mykii about the blue jumpsuit as it would give the chest a bigger proportion as oposed to the ab section you are currently making, a few pipes running from the chest to the belt would work well and tapering the chest slightly would enhance the bulge a bit more... the chest not your gut

 

[Blackdynamo2]

Looks Good! How did you paint this? does it rub off?

 

[Trek920]

th foam is only 1/4" thick, so i dont think gettign rid of that section and wearing blue underarmor woudl change it that much.

i painted it with Krylon paint. and no it does not come off. ever.

Looks great. Are you doing the helmet, or going with the non helmet version, like in your printed picture?
