Greetings everyone! I'd like to tell story of my attempt on making Advancer Power Armor helmet. I know, many folks here dedicated to Fallout, so comments and advices are welcome.
Alright, let's start, enjoy.
I've really want to build it since playing Fallout 2, but my lack of 3d modeling and general crafting skills kept me from even starting. The idea came to me then i was playing New Vegas, i could extract model from it, and seeing other guys make fiberglass costume from pepakura, i've decided to give it a try.
First of all, i did search through the internets of decent helmet builds, and one thing bothered me through my search. Every one making bucket type of it. Seriously. Original F2 art and NW model show that it consist of two halves with a seam right in the center of it.
So i though, why not make it as it intended to be? Right now this build come more of a replica than just a piece of cosplaying costume. What i'm trying to do, is, make similar to original piece of equipment that Enclave soldiers have to use every day. With most of it functions, well, maybe except its armoring capabilities.
To begin with, i've extracted NW model scaled it and split it in half. Then i've measured it in pepakura and started to model metal frame with opening mechanism.
Cheers,
Enchanter.
