Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger Finished! pg 8

Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

really? small world, heh.

i managed to get ahold of a pepakura file of the head, i'm skipping the helmet and going straight to the mask, but damn, 5 hours of cutting out shapes with an xacto knife, my fingers are numb.

Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

I feel your pain. I have pep files for a ton of fallout weapons. I'm gonna cheat and use them to cut out wood and make them. This is turning out really good so far.
 
Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

yeah, i have the same plan for plastic.
i doubt i will use this pep for the mask, but it gives me a great feeling of scale.
 
Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

Dammit, you beat me to the punch!

I just bought a new set of EVA foam just to do an NCR ranger, too. All in all, it looks great so far! Just weather it some and you're good to go!
 
Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

Great work on the mask there, many find that one the hardest.

i appreciate the compliments everyone,
though the mask being built out of plastic its pretty close to my skill set.
the coat will be the real trial, since you can't sand or glue fabric (unless your weathering it but you get the idea)
i have limited sewing experience, and the only real attempt was my scarecrow costume i shared on these boards.

Subscribed! Looking really good, that chest armor turned out great. I'd love to get my hands on the pep file for the mask myself.

i'm my opinion this is a great pep file, i did take it upon myself to score a few extra areas for additional detail, such as the "bridge" of the nose of the mask, but it was very easy to build.

i joined this forum to watch this thread progress

Well thank you!

right,
have been hacking and bending away at this metal helmet with limited success.. i guess since the thing was made to deflect bullets, i should have expected it to be tough to shape.
i'll be grinding and cutting a few pieces off and then applying some bondo before i distress it further and give it a desert waste color.

needs more off the sides i think.

the wife stole the mask earlier too, before i chopped it up.

and i'm chopping up half the mask to make templates from, so i can reassemble the mask in plastic over thanksgiving holiday.

Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

Hey came along this post after a google search and I joined the fourms heh... I plan to make an NCR ranger outfit as well. Outfit looks awesome!!!!!!!! I was going to throw an idea at you modify this costume duster? The only problem is that its shiney! maybe you can find a way to make it more canvas like! For the bullet holes just unload a gun to where you want the holes lol Tell me what you think!

Re: Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger

To make that coat less shiny you could just soak it in hot water and then go at it with 0000 steel wool. It will make the coat less shiny and depending on how hard you scrub it a worn effect.
