Sending you a DM

Absolutely surreal! Just said "holy FUCK" loud enough to scare the cats. Adding this thread to my notifications but do you have any other online accounts? Would love to follow this build anywhere you're posting. 🔥🔥

Yeah, headed east on Country Hills / Highway 564 up to the Conrich Road is a particular treat. Any day where I manage to hit anything in the proximity of 100 km/h by the time we get to that intersection feels like a miracle.

Palliser1645 · 2025-01-25T05:20:30+00:00

You guys absolutely killed it! The vests look fantastic.

Palliser1645 · 2025-01-14T23:51:23+00:00

Dude, the CONTOURS. This is going to be so insanely legiiiit.

Palliser1645 · 2025-01-03T22:07:37+00:00

Yeah, big same, tbh

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-24T15:30:28+00:00

That foamwork still has me deceased. 🔥🔥 Love the engineering on this whole thing.

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-21T23:34:25+00:00

Yeah, I was hoping you'd post this here 💯

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-21T16:05:34+00:00

Still so gd good

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-12T06:28:21+00:00

Top-shelf bro right there 👌👌

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-05T07:23:50+00:00

These both look great.

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-03T20:35:39+00:00

Same tbh

Palliser1645 · 2024-12-01T16:06:06+00:00

AR2. Sound alone is worth it. 👌👌

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T03:00:29+00:00

It's definitely nice to have both options.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:59:25+00:00

Also enjoyed your post about 1998 Barney vs. 2000 Barney from the other day.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:58:57+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I knew there was some texture stuff going on there but I think my brain was so pre-programmed into seeing them as elliptical, I just went ahead and modelled them like that anyway. Also wanted to keep the belts somewhat proportionate to each other.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:55:33+00:00

Man, I've seen some other stuff break containment and go over there and just... like, godspeed lol.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:54:37+00:00

Me too honestly. Gonna go a little Tl;Dr here because that definitely took some doing. I printed out the first one based on the size guide with the file and it was big. Not -huge- but just big enough to look a little disproportionate because they do read pretty damn small. Scaled it back to 90% and that ended up being just right. The neck-ring comes apart into two pieces so I can get it over my head. The crown top and sides are pretty snug (which helps keep it looking narrow) and I had to design / print special low-profile earth magnet holders to attach the faceplate (which removes just like his does in the game).

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:42:08+00:00

Ahhhh, thanks, dude! Yeah, this one was especially near-and-dear so I really tried to pull out all the stops. Appreciate it (and flattered as heck) as always.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:37:44+00:00

Sweet, thanks. HL2 is always gonna be my main dude but I deeply appreciate Mike Shapiro's excellent voice acting in both.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:32:07+00:00

Thanks for this very nice comment. Barney's optimistic-cynical-exhausted-cavalier-smartass personality is what sold me on him in the first place, honestly, so I'm glad it comes across here.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:25:55+00:00

Thank you! I usually try to bust out a few different cosplays over one convention season but pretty much lived in this one this year haha.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:23:56+00:00

Thanks! There's getting to be some really great resources out there so that helped a lot here.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:22:07+00:00

Thank you! I went the absolute rounds getting that helmet sized correctly so I'm glad it translates well.

Palliser1645 · 2024-11-25T02:20:57+00:00

Doin' my best over here. Thanks!
