Re: Vacformed Warhammer 40k Space Marine Armor
Thanks for the compliments folks, this thing is really coming along.
Last night my friend Matt stopped by, saw the leg parts, and decided to try them on:
As long as he was halfway together, I told him we needed to stack up the rest of the pieces:
I had to stand on a bucket to reach the shoulder.
Here's everything we've got so far roughly taped together:
The finished version will have the chest and shoulders sitting a bit higher, so there will be less of the character's neck (and wearer's face) exposed.
There was also a lot of discussion about whether or not the chainsword was too big. Here's a shot showing it next to the character, but given the cramped quarters we were working in, the perspective still makes it look big:
I'm still pretty happy with it:
I still need to knock out the rest of the forms for the backpack and sculpt out the rubber parts. Then it'll be time to crank out a few suits, paint them up, and go marching around town. Stay tuned...
