I basically printed out the grenades 3 times to make each one. I added a few extra details to make them more realistic.
I didnt change them at all aparrt form the size, these are slightly smaller than original. Again the corrugated card is a problem but easily solved the final weapon i added to my arsenal for this build was a few frag grenades and the paint these are the standard halo frag grenades that can be found on this site. This one was originally a pep file but i just took it and made it into a sliced weapon. Its deffinatly not halo or gears of war, but i like the look of it. I have a feelin its from fallout but i'm not entirely sure. In hindsight i should have thought about it and done it with mountboard but oh well live and learn lol this particular gun i have no idea where its from. As well as that i decided to make the handle a sliced handle as is the sections either side of where the ammo slots in and the saw at the front i also decided to add magnets so that i can change ammo cartridges to add a bit more realism to the model the only thing i am disappointed about is the fact i used corrugated card, wich was a huge mistake on my part as i now have to go along with a hot glue gun to seal up the corrugated edges.
Basically there are 2 long strips of card goin thru it horizontally and then at 1 inch intervals there are strips running vertically. It keeps models lightweight but adds a lot of support. To get around the fact that these are normally hollow inside i actually reinforced the inside, not with resin or anythin like that but, with card the long top part is basically honey comb.a technique i have been doin for a long time. After a little tweaking i blew it up cut out the parts and it went together really well, like the helmet i orignally made this out of paper so had to rebuild it. It was originally meant to be a mini model about half the size of an xbox. This particular version i found on another paper model site. Mainly cause i think it adds a little realism to the helmet as well as looking cool too i've also come up with a paint scheme for the helmet, i've decided not to go for the classic gears of war paint scheme wich is blue, i've decided to go for red.Īnd these are the weapons i have decided to make the first is the standard lancer wich i thought was an absolute must have. The reason for this was that i will be puttin a metal mesh material over those holes so they do actually act as vents. Its the standard HD cog helmet that is floating around this site, the only things i changed where that as u can see form the pics i decided to leave the front sections on the face plate open, as wwell as the small 'vents' on the top towards the back. The helmet went togeether relativly well, this was the third atempt but the only reason for that was originally i built it out of paaper rather than card and it didnt hold up when i applied the resin. Keepin in mind i have been workin on this 2 weeks i have only just started to document so rather than tell in pictures what i have done i will try to best desciribe how i got to the point i am. So far i have the helmet pep'd, i have made 2 guns, one was sliced the other was half sliced half pep'd and i have half a dozen sheets of foam to make the armour out of basically i have gone and done pretty much every type of technique i could find and decided to try them all out building this costume heres the start of the project. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist so when it doesnt look right or doesnt work then i have to redo it. I think i must haave built the helmet 3 times and the lancer twice. I'm not a huge cosplay person, and i'm not even really that big into halo hence why i didnt choose to do halo armour i have how ever been workin on this project for about 2 weeks now. So i've been lurking on the site for a little while, always interested in other peoples builds and gettin ideas for my own. The template for the cowl consists of 89 pieces and is available in Pepakura PDO format only.
