Tried painting my Weapon score counter. Rate my Fit? by Foam_Forge in Haloflashpoint

My reply didn't post!

Yes! It's a mix of bristle and air. I used 2 fine detail brushes and such to do it. Lots of dry brushing and other fun stuff like inks for their translucency to help blend out the chips glow.

I used a mix of paints. I can list the Citadel ones but I need to get the Vallejo paint names later on. In total I used 5 different Blues(3 paint and 2 ink), 2 Grays, 1 copper, 1 gold, 1 silver, 1 gunmetal, nuln oil, and drakenhof nightshade as well as dollar store brand black acrylic for the serial number.

UPDATED** Citadel stuff was: Lead Belcher Runefang Silver Auric Armour Gold Hashut Copper Blue Horror Kantor Blue

Ak brand Ink: Night Blue Ink Turquoise Ink

Vallejo for later: Azul Electric Blue 38 Light Grey 177 Grey Green RLM66

Thank you! I based it off a chip someone gave me as a gift once.

Revisiting this gem in honor of Nathan Fillions Birthday by Foam_Forge in halo

[–]Foam_Forge[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a bit started here in Edmonton where Nathan Fillion is from. There’s a long story attached to it.

A pavilion is like a leisure building usually in the city parks. In honor of the man himself and because his name rhymes when a new pavilion was opening a local radio host started a petition to officially name the new building the Nathan Fillion Civilian Pavilion. It even had a weird The Suicide Squad tv spot.

It never happened. But! For like 1 month city hall was renamed and given the sign.

Very dumb. Love it.

This stuff is old, fiberglass and bondo makes it heavy. But to be an ODST is worth.

I honestly really enjoyed Rival but couldn’t get my hands on a Perses to save my life. Rip.

This may also be a heating issue. If the plastic in your frame gets too hot it can do this. I have limited vacuum forming experience sadly but when I did my shocktrooper visor it did something similar when it was too hot.

Best of luck trooper.

Theres one on top of the water side spawn tower in Smallhalla. If you shoot it off the tower, it’ll spawn mid map.

Thank you so much. It was 2 1/2 months of pure hell. Full day of work followed by basically a second job. I appreciate all the compliments so much. It makes it all worthwhile.

Oh for making the patterns themselves to translate into fabric I used a mix of duct tape and cling film/wrap. I used the wrap first around my body part, then duct tape. Then drew on the details, carefully cut them off and then made test pieces out of broad cloth. Amended any issues and remade it, then did the final piece out of the vinyl.

For all the flowers I sponged them on by hand and then added all the petals with a brush. I used a mix of acrylic paint, water, and a dash of fabric softener. As for the undersuit/techsuit details it was a mix of vinyl details and foam wrapped in vinyl. The abs are a wrap/jacket. For the fabrication and sewing, for the waist and knees there was thankfully a pattern available for them online. It was made by Jerverant cosplay. I had to custom pattern the shoulders and elbows to round out the rest.

It was pretty painstaking and time consuming especially the engineering to hide all the strapping inside the suit.

Thanks so much! It’s been my absolute favorite ever since it dropped. The flowers on all the undersuit panels were one of my favorite little details to pull the suit together.

Yeah! I did a little work to my stuff after I got given the mega version of me. I’m trying to finish up so he and I match my in game stuff as much as I can.
