mrbungle Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 here are some more parts. i designed the tank so the greeb should just fit in the slot made for it. got the shins looking a little better. here is the boot armor. here the back plate that the tank will sit in. forearm piece.
Lonescout Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 As usual...looking good...can't wait to see the armor!
Holdfast Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Freakin sweet. This is like being a kid again on Christmas eve. Keep up the great work.
mrbungle Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 thanks for the replies, guys. we are getting there!!!
mrbungle Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 here is the belt i just pulled. much cleaner than the first pull. i am experimenting alittle to try to get grey bars with a black background, that way we don't have to paint the rubber. you can see in the smaller belt where i added more tint to the rubber. the back of the belt is getting darker compared to the bars on the belt. i think it is possible to get the right look on the belts by playing with the tints added to the rubber. fill in the bars with the gray tinted rubber , then come right on top of it with black tinted rubber.
mrbungle Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 here are the belt buckles for the boot armor i made. the parts are made from a scrap piece of roof flashing. i made the greebs to be glued on the flashing.
mrbungle Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 well , the vac table is up and running. FINALLY!!!! after burning up some plastic and tweeking the table i was able to pull the first test pieces. everything is going pretty smooth now. i just have to do some work on the armor plugs, smooth things out here and there. but overall the project is coming together. i ma going with .090 becuse the 125 stuff is not giving me the detail i want.
Holdfast Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Looking awesome there Tom. Just an idea, not being sure about the width or depth of the belt, but instead of doing the 2 colors or painting, would black webbing be able to be glued inside the recessed parts of the belt to give it the right color and texture?
mrbungle Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 thanks i would be worried about the pattern not being supported until you glue it to the black belt. if rubber is not a solid piece it tears very easily.
Holdfast Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Tom, back to the belt. How much, or what length will be supplied in the kit?
Guest Skupilkinson Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Looking great buddy!!! Well done on getting this far, top notch!
mrbungle Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Tom, back to the belt. How much, or what length will be supplied in the kit? the length of the belt is 42 inches and comes in 2 parts. the long piece is 32 inches.
Lonescout Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 IT"S ABOUT TIME!!!! J/K :lol: Were is that back plate!!! That's the main Piece I want to see then you'll have me sold! Looking good!

Lonescout Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 funny thing happened to the backplate today......................i kinda crushed it :( This was not supposed to be your super secret project! Crushing the backplate! :o
mrbungle Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 i know , i was like ohhhhh crap!!!!!!!!!! sometimes you do dumb things and just think to yourself , what were you thinking?? my supersecret project is a version II of my KST helmet. completely new sculpt. but no pics until i am ready to show........

Sshhhhhh! Its a secret!
mrbungle Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 here is the boot armor trimed and taped together to get idea of what they will look like. these will be seamless. slide the shin armor on then pull your boots on, then slide the armor down over the boots. the toe armor will be tricky. because it will have to move some to walk. i am going to cut off the bottom buckle on the boots. sorry about the pics , they are taken from a mirror.
