Carter Helmet Progress

Devin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:03:49 +0000

Here are a few shots of the new Halo Reach style Carter Helmet Model in progress. After seeing the “Birth of a Spartan” trailer I just had to have one of those helmets. So I started playing in SolidWorks to generate this model for later use on the CNC machine. I’d really like to see one of these in my collection… So I think I’m off to a good start.

Legacy Version ODST Helmet

Devin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:37:38 +0000

Here are a few shots of the new Legacy style ODST helmet Model in progress. After seeing the “We are ODST” trailer I just had to have one of those sweet sets of armor. So I started cranking away in solidworks to generate this model. Later it will be used to CNC mill out a full sized buck of the helmet to be mastered and molded. I think this will be a fun project to work on.

“We Are ODST” Trailer

Devin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:31:12 +0000

If you haven’t seen the latest trailer promoting the new ODST game from Bungie here is your chance to get caught up on the latest master piece from Rupert Sanders. The props produced by Legacy Effects (formally Stan Winston Studios) are particularly amazing alongside the CG Effects from Asylum. My hats off to the artists that created this piece of work, this video is truly amazing and inspiring to watch.

MLG Dallas 2009

Devin — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:22:43 +0000

We had a great time up at MLG Dallas this year. We showed up to support our PMS Clan Girls and hang out and play some new Halo ODST with the guys from Bungie. We gave some of the Halo fans an opportunity to get their picture taken with the real life Halo helmets. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again next year. Thanks to all that came out and showed there support and played some games with us.

Chief Underwear…

Devin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:23:08 +0000

Ok to give you a little look into the construction of the master chief under armor I posted up a few pics. I used some upholstery vinyl from Jo-Ann’s fabric store. I also used some of the craft foam from hobby lobby to make all the padded pieces for the abdomen area and knees. The little rubber piece on the front of the piece is molded dragon skin dyed black with silc pig. The back piece of rubber is actually a Betty Boop car floor mat from Wal-Mart. I love me some Wally World.. always find good stuff to use in there. For the shoulders I used the piping you get at the fabric store to create that ridge effect. As far as the ribbing effect that’s just a ton of time put in on the sewing machine sewing down layers to form ribs. The soft part of the boot is done just like the shoulder with the piping I found at the fabric store. I just cut out my pattern and sewed the piping down in place to give it that ridged effect. Other than that its a bunch of nylon straps and buckles and its made in sections to keep from making it too hot. I also use a few pieces on the chest armor to fill in some open areas just held on with Velcro. Don’t have pics of those, but you can just use the shots of the armor to see what I’m talking about.

Anyways hope this helps you do–it-your-selfer’s
