Iconic right arm armor - I started this build by cutting out and heat forming some thick styrene. Then curled the edges using a guide to match the in game look.
Then I attached 1/2" mat foam to the styrene to bulk it up. After some time with my belt sander I got the basic shape roughed out and some damage detials added.
First coat of paint. I ran out of the copper so I'm not going to be able to finish these yet.
But a pretty damn good start!!

That is coming out so freaking good!
What are you using to cut the styrene? I've only worked with it a bit and I just cut it enough to score it and snap it. But that was thinner stuff too.

The stuff I used for the upper arm armor is about 1/4" thick and is probably more like wonderflex than styrene. Because of the tickness I just keep scoring till I go through then clean it up on my sander or with a Dremel.

I have had several people ask me on here and Facebook where I downloaded my template files from. Well, I don't have any files to download because I do everything "old school". I play the game, take screen shots off of my TV with a camera, and sketch everything out on newsprint paper to scale. Then when I think I'm pretty close I transfer it to whatever medium I plan on using. I still haven't learned how to do any of the pep file stuff yet. Pep files would have made it a lot easier but there is something to be said about making it from scratch.

Well it hit me today that between my actual job,filling Borderlands mask orders, and finishing the Dead Space costume I am going to be cutting it very close for comicon in March. So to try and speed things up I am going to mod a Nerf gun instead of building my plasma cutter from scratch. I don't really like doing this because I want it as accurate as possible. I might have to make one down the road but this will do for now. So here is the start of the plasma cutter build.
I took apart a maverick that I had laying aaround.
Next I cut out the blades for the front of the gun
Starting to take shape

Good call on using that thicker styrene what thickness did you use?
Looks great so far it should work in a pinch this is coming together really well.
Keep up the great work Bro.opcorn

The blades and support are 1/4" the deatils pieces (you can't see yet because of them all blending in" are much thinner from a variety pack of styrene.

The foam and styrene together is a great idea. Adds some depth and some structure. Wish I would have used that idea on my build.

Very very cool man, Love the progress and how quick it is too! Quick question, you said heat blast the foam to toughen it? I have never used foam but plan to soon for chest armor so that just caught my eye.

I don't know if any of the foam pros heat seal it or not. But before I brush it with mod podge I like to heat it up and then sand it a little bit. Although I will admit I don't use foam very often. I like my armor props to stay rigid so I like to use styrene and wonderflex

Plasma Cutter update
I made the detail piece that goes underneath the pistol grip. This is made up of a mixture of found items, styrene, and MDF that has been cut and sanded.
I fabricated the piece with the 3 holes to house the LED lights. It detaches from the body of the gun so you can replace the batteries.
Here is a pic of the gun about 90% complete.
