Re: Ultron for Pepakura - proto helmet file added page 2-
Thanks for the comments!
The chest, cod and neck brace at this stage. Detailing is kept pretty low-key to make the initial templates easier to work with, but I still have a bit of work. What do you think?
Chest: I had added recessed fasteners in the 'wings' along the spine, but it looked overdone, so I removed them. I also removed smaller wings at the spine's top, the detail just looked forced. The rear shoulder blades are pretty plain at this point, but they will be covered a by the shoulder bells pretty well. I also started some recessed bolt details, such as the four under the arm openings. I see a couple of more spots that could use them, and these are easy additions in foam.
Abdomen: First off, the abdomen bands that wrap around the side are pretty simple, but I think they will stay that way for now. As I posted before, they'll be much easier to bevel and detail
after they're cut out. The ends of those bands have recessed openings in them, but I think I need to change that because frankly it makes no sense to me. I also would like to add something between those 6 bolts at the small of the back, maybe just a beveled plate connected to the belt.
Belt and cod: I have given these no attention at all really, just a raised belt and cod section with a recessed bolt detail. I think that both the cod front and belt surface needs some detailing, but possibly
after they've been built with more foam or a soldering iron. I can also render something out if anyone has suggestions. I'm not sure about hip plates; the thighs and cod mesh together nicely right now, but I want to be able to walk easily and (gasp) sit down.
Overall it's coming along. I've gotta be honest though, the direction I took the torso (especially the chest and swoop of the abs) keeps making me think more 'batman' than 'robot', I haven't settled on how I feel about that yet... :confused Anyways, thanks for looking, feedback as always is appreciated :thumbsup
