#Destiny hunter helmet cosplay update

Will use my actual belt to hold it up, though until I get my under-suit sorted, I won't know. Will probably go with an elastic/nylon webbing hybrid for flexibility. I still need to come sort out the design of the webbing that holds all of this together. I still want to integrate the green into the design, but I'm afraid it won't look right with the red cloak/ gold,white, red helm, and the dark colored armor. The detailing on the buckle thingies on the front and back are completely done and the belt cover is half done (I have 1 of 2 pieces done). All the pouches were found at a local surplus store. I'll put buckles under the sides between the front and back halves.Īll the components are cut, pouches are bought, the scarf (sits under belt) is bought. (Top two are left front chest and left rear chest). They were cut out when I was still using 1'x1' tiles, so I'll probably re-cut them with bigger pieces (Get it to about 3 pieces for the base of the chest. I had this cut awhile ago and haven't had time to heat form or glue it. Probably going to remake it with a larger scale. I think I scaled the shin too small, and I made the relief cut (for easy bending) on the front instead of back. I ad-libbed a pad to sit on the side of the left leg, as I've seen it on other armor variants.Īll parts are cut, shaped. The point on the knee piece will have a layer of craft foam on the front of it to give it some depth without making the sanding awful. The cylinders will likely be made from a PVC pipe with some EVA stuck in the end.Īll parts are cut shaped, and just need a little love on the edges to make them ready for sealing and paint. I use a file (shown) to work down the edges and it only really takes a few minutes to get a nice curved edge and happens to be just wide enough to make the finger grips on the handle. I have all the pieces cut out, but only the grip has been shaped properly. The receiver is made of 3 sheets of 3/8' EVA mats and the Barrel is 2 sheets. Happy New Years, Dudes! I have a fair bit of progress into cutting and shaping the armor and the hand cannon. Sewing pins (For holding down templates on foam.) Sharpener (Makes my blades last a bit longer) Files (The right-hand one works amazingly for rounding off foam without power tools) C-Clamp (For clamping things down, use caution on foam) Ti-84 Caculator (An expensive calculator for doing stuff I should be able to do in my head) Digital Calipers (Bought on impulse, fantastic to make repeatable accurate measurements) Tape Measure ( For extra long measurements Fabric Tape Ruler Thing (Making measurements on body) 18' Metal Ruler (For guiding razor on long cuts) 6' Metal Ruler (For guiding razor on Short cuts) Multi-colored Pencils (Good for differentiating parts when sketching out plans) Mechanical Pencils (Good for making light impressions on foam when tracing) Scotch tape (for holding together rough pep models for scaling) Hot Knife (I find I don't use this as often) Various Flavors of X-Acto Knives (Those fancy looking blades on the top of the case aren't worth crap on foam) While working, I figured it would be worth showing what tools I am using. This is my first armor build: Please ask questions and tell me what I'm doing wrong, everything helps. I will keep links in the work log updated so newcomers can easily get to my updates.

Celestial Nighthawk has standard red/white/goldīadger CCL (Pep) (On hold until armor completion) Grey/OD green with Red Accents on armor This is gonna be a future thing, it's pretty complex I have areas I can paint, but I'm fairly limited by what tools I can use. Some things to note, My work space is the limited area between my desk and workbench (a 2'x2' sheet of fiberboard with a cutting mat). This build will be comprised almost entirely out of foam. By having this base I will be able to recreate multiple versions without altering it to much.Hello People! I started working on a Hunter from Destiny about a month ago, and have recently hit a point where I have made enough progress to write home about. There are lots of different masks that he can acquire throughout the game I am just picking a single style this time. A hunter in the game is a stealthy sniper class that uses agility instead of brute force.
