Rotccole Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Haha, looks more fun then a barrel of monkeys....wait... Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Haha, looks more fun then a barrel of monkeys....wait... So...tedious...gah. Finished half the shoulder. Started the other half then ran out of tape. It's raised up more than it will be once the other side is connected, but you get the rough idea. Link to comment
crazas[TX] Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Looking really cool so far, can't wait to see more of your work Link to comment
Rotccole Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Go get more tape...I'm curious.... Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 This method is all new to me. Enjoying watching the progress. Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Shoulder is finished! It's slightly warped, but that's an easy fix. Just comes from folding the paper at slightly differing angles. Now I have to decide what piece to finish next. Maybe the calf. Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 *whispers* bucket Haha, the bucket will come soon. I'm working out some problems with unfolding it, as the fold and cut lines are coming out wrong. So for now I'm working on the calf then the forearm. But the bucket will definitely come after that.

Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Figuring out the right size to print these out is becoming a bit of a pain... Link to comment
Rotccole Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hey any progress is good! Keep slogging it out brother! Link to comment
Rotccole Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 BTW, whats the program you use to make these? Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 BTW, whats the program you use to make these? It's called Pepakura Designer. And yes, slogging is definitely what I'm doing lol. But on the plus side, I've finally made time to watch all of Firefly. Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hmm... I've never seen Firefly. I should probably track it down. -iz Link to comment
Tachyon[501st] Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Cool, nice work. Ooh hey, I know that book on the left Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Left arm all done. On to the calf! Or helmet. I'll probably go back and forth. Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Also, I've decided to sell the pep files for the Sith Trooper. Apparently, fiberglass, resin and mold-making materials are expensive. Who knew lol? I'm roughly basing prices off SPC's prices for his pepakura costume files. $4 for a piece or $30 for the whole thing. The pieces are: -abdomen plate -back plate -calf -chest -collar -head -arm -shoulder -thigh PM me if interested. Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Should have some updates soon, I've been a bit distracted by my new Darth Revan costume Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just found a very interesting picture Now besides a few differences in the armor, this is clearly a Sith Trooper from Revan's time. But no face mask. Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Alright, clearly I haven't been posting enough actual work as this is my 5th post in a row lol. So don't hesitate to comment now! Setting up for fiberglassing First coat of fiberglass resin (I've done 2 now but I only took pictures after the first coat. I'm thinking I'll do 3 or 4 coats total) And finally, I worked all during my DnD session tonight on this I didn't finish it as it's too small but it's given me some good practice and a good idea of how the pieces fit together.

Wraith[TX] Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 ooh that looks very complicated and also very awesome Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm just watching this amazed.... Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Still working on the new helmet. I have a feeling already that it might be a tad too large but I'm gonna finish it all the way to be certain. I would've had a lot of time to work on it today but a squadmate and I drove up to the Far Away Creations studio (hurray for 4 hours of driving lol). Totally worth the time and gas though. Seeing all of the molds, armor kits and other costuming bits and bobs lying around was definitely worth the trip. Didn't get anything as I'm focusing on this (and another secret project from TOR ) but it was fun. Hopefully I'll post with a complete half helmet soon! Hmmm. Odd contradiction in that statement.

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 The progress is looking awesome. I wish I could do something like that, but I just don't have the patience. Link to comment
Shaggy9342[501st] Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 The progress is looking awesome. I wish I could do something like that, but I just don't have the patience. Yeah, it's pretty freaking tedious. Unfortunately, I have almost no patience either. But I've found that if I watch a movie or build the paper pieces while playing Dungeons and Dragons, it's not too bad. But now I'm running into the problem of running out of stuff to watch lol. In only the past few days I've watched all three Ong Bak movies and various television and anime shows. Any suggestions? Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 D&D...? Which edition? I would suggest the incredible hulk series. It's my current work series. -iz Link to comment
