I play with Black Widow Company, a competitive gaming syndicate that is active in multiple MMOs and online games. I am a founding member and the leader of that group. We will be playing Space Marines in Eternal Crusade. I am also a member of the Twenty-First Legion and the Obscurus Crusade, cosplay and costuming communities centred around Warhammer 40K. My Dark Angels Space Marine has been featured on a number of websites.
Nice armor, I'm planning on buildidng myself someday, but I think that I'll start with Kasrkin armor (I'm more into IG). I'll be playing Space Marines untill the release of IG and I also have a blog about my GW miniatures (just some amateur stuff, but I do my best), if you want to look at this just go on mdf40k.blogspot.com I hope you'll like it
That one is made from fibreglass and weighs about 75lbs. My son's costume will be EVA foam. My next-gen costume will also be EVA foam, and will weigh a fraction of the gen-one.
Nice I have a pdf somewhere around on my laptop with short tutorial on making a SM armor, but I don't have time and money... Ahh, maybe some day? How long does it take to make one? And how much paint did you buy? I know that it wouldn't be Citadel Paints
It really depends on how much work you put into it -- I spent about five months, day in and day out, looking at all the different ways people did their armour. I looked at embellishments, methods, extras, the works. My first suit took about a year, and that was basically a day here, a day there the week after. I also wasted time experimenting with various build materials. My son's costume will be done in under ten days, from the first cut to the final wipe-down. Paint: Depending on what type of piece it is, I alternate between outdoor varnish and krylon spraypaint. I use the exact same colour by the exact same company and it seems to all be relatively uniform.
Well, thank you for such wide answer now I only can only afford to paint and assemble GWs miniatures, I don't even have space in flat for such operations
