Anyways, I think it's already been mentioned before that if the Fallout armour was scaled to the in-game sizes, it'd be too bulky to move in.because we aren't all post-apocalyptic beefy manly men.Īnd I totally relate with you on the "get-it-done" to "get-it-done-right" phase. The limbs in the front view seem a bit skinny.but the side view looks fine, so it might just be the camera being angled downward slightly. It's incredibly great work, especially when you take into account first time, the time crunch, and the self-made pep files.Īs far as criticism goes, I think you can figure out most of the behind-the-scenes stuff that doesn't show up in pictures (like strapping) on your own. I've been a big fan of the Enclave armour since Fallout2, so it's wonderful to finally see it off the video screens. =P Thank goodness you changed your avatar, thatm ade it easy to find. I remember seeing these up in the gallery and wondering where a thread was for this armour because it was so neat. Here are a couple close-ups of the helmet just so you can see how badly it was rushed and thus how half-assed the detailing is: But even considering those mistakes and omissions, I think it came out well. I didn’t have time to properly weather it or even finish highlights like making the front respirator a lighter shade. And don’t even get me started on the paint job. The belt was also not finished since I wanted to do it in foam. I left the light on the top center of the helm open to allow for a little air flow (emphasis on little) and never completed the round parts on the inside of the horns on the helmet (if you’re very familiar with the game you can tell, otherwise you’d probably never notice). And a balaclava woulda helped, but I didn’t have time to get one (yes, the hair in the back is my ponytail sticking out). Also the hoses are connected in the wrong places because they were interfering with the helmet. Note: I’m wearing my work boots because the armor boots weren’t finished enough to be very functional.
It was:Īll-in-all, I am happy with how it turned out, but I really half-assed several things and it is clearly incomplete in certain aspects. I had never worked with pepakura, fiberglass, or bondo before so it was quite a learning experience which I have you guys to thank for!įirst, I did an alien blaster just to make sure the pepakura process was as reliable and appealing as it appeared. In the end I had to cut a lot of corners and I’ll definitely be going back and revising my process and improving my armor for next year, but considering the steep learning curve, overall I am pleased with ver. From the physical start of pepping the armor to finish, my total build time was 9 weeks and 4 days.
Unfortunately by the time I started, I had a very aggressive time table to keep if I wanted to make my deadline and there were several points where I was certain I would not make it in time. The more pics of people’s armor I saw on here, the more convinced I was that this would be the way to go. Like most people, my first thought was ‘how good can paper armor possibly be?’ but it was hard to argue with the results. After a little research on the interwebz about the best way to go about this, I stumbled upon this site.
So I had decided I wanted to do a costume for Dragoncon this year since I hadn’t done one in a while (A few years back I did the Gir in my profile pic).
