pghfett Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 I have pulled the back plate and have finished it's surface. All that remains is the installation of the greeblie plate area and a final trimming and it will be ready fo final molding. I'll post some pics of the final buck/piece prior to final molding.

Mike, you gotta stop doing this....I pee'ed myself again! Chris
TB-7076 Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Do I understand that correct? You want to pull tank and detail plate as one? I would treat both independently. If I hate anything about costumes it is the look of "cast in one" pieces.
pghfett Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Na, the greeblie plate will be separate from the tank top. however, the greeblie is recessed into the tank top making both surfaces even with each other - smooth straight across - except for the devices that stand up off the greeblie plate. I'm making the indentation that will "outline" where to cut out for the greeblie plate. Both pieces will be separate from each other. It would play serious havoc if I even tried to cast them together as one piece LOL
TB-7076 Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Ok, so misinterpreted that. Cool plan. You know I'm a fan of details so everything that is constructed out of several pieces making things more natural looking and actually constructed from pieces. And I think though a lot of stuff on the CGI models is texture and in that respect comparable to movie production costumes detailing makes a muhc more enjoyable costume for the live presentation when people stand next to you.
Army Scout Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Man! That tank is huge! Can you put it next to something for a size check??? Chris
Ladyghost4459 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Fine work. Is the tank going to have any sort of opening or is it going to be a solid closed piece? I'd rather like it if it could be useful not just attractive.
Guest FOOL31C Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Wow!!! This is some really cool work. What an awesome uniform. If I only had the space and the time to setup an armor making facility. I am so jealous.
TB-7076 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 There should be a Nobel price on prop building and you should be a nominee definately! Man I wish I could afford the whole gear this year... Well bank robbery or marrying Paris Hilton with option getting divorced 2 years later?!?!?!
pghfett Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 I plan on adding this detail to my knee plates and was wondering if anyone had better pics of could whip up a few drawings for me ? (hint, hint MAD LOL )

The NobelPrice of prop building is aching back, hands in need of a manicure, many hours of frustration and reflection, nearly going blind staring at screen captures, many start overs and ruined materials...then that Eureaka moment when everyone goes oooooh, ahhhh....

Or sometimes after all that it's not right and you gotta start over DOH !!!
Ghst915 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Or sometimes after all that it's not right and you gotta start over DOH !!! Yeah no doubt there dude, been there done that before. The armor looks great bro, looking forward to the rest. Gloves are coming up soon, very soon.
TB-7076 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Mike I'll have a look into the knee protectors.
Sentinel Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I don't know about anyone else, but I'd be very interested if you made kits of these.
TB-7076 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Damn that looks pretty. I must have one of these one day .
Guest Krayvan Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 pghfett, i have to say you have talent... it seems your project is rolling along nicely... the chest/back seem to be bulky but accurate to the screens of the BARC killed by yoda... just wondering whats the ratio in size with the bucket envolved... but all and all keep up the good work...
Ghst915 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 WOW Mike very cool. Can't wait to see the rest of it. Looking forward to this when its done brother.
