Mass Effect 2 N7 Armor Builds

[ParadoxJane]

Hey I saw on your blog that you met Mark Meer. Did you take a pic with him while wearing your armor?

the guy in the Yellow Lantern costume (hunter S. Sinestro) is Mark Meer voice of male shepard.

Wow! These are really incredible! I am impressed over and over again with all the talent here on this forum. Great job!

Really incredible work! I only got to see you through the glass outside the Hyatt bar for a short while. I wanted a closer look, but carrying a 5 foot potato between hotels tends to make traffic surly.

That's too funny! I started thinking after I posted that that "I wonder if he was in costume? No..."

We met up with Mark again later that night at the Wolfpack Elite Party and took some more photos. I'll post some as soon as I get copies of them.

Any possibilities of posting templates for the parts?

I have never done something like this and am very interested in this!!

Damn - I really wanted to meet up with you guys. I knew you were meeting sometime Saturday, but I didn't get an approximate time or location.

Unfortunately my armor wasn't fully ready (didn't even have the final neck piece built by the time con rolled around) - but I did manage to debut it for about 30 minutes before parts started falling off. I just didn't have the right materials with me to finish it in time (didn't even have time to finish the soldering for the lighting.....but I'm still fairly happy overall. Have to rebuild the helmet from scratch to make it more proportional and obviously lacking in some areas...but all a matter of a lack of time to finish it...anyways, here are some pics. This was actually the first time I wore all of the armor, so it turned out pretty well considering. Lots of tweaks to actually finish it before my next con.

I have to ask...the person playing the character with all the tattoo's (who I can't recall the name), I can't honestly tell...man or woman? If woman.....ouch, those straps.....that can't be comfortable...

Hope I'm not being to curious!:eek But I couldn't tell...

woman... in fact the character's straps are thinner again.

Nice blood dragon set. I'm building one as well. Maybe I'll start a new thread don't wanna jack EvilFX's kick ass thread. Nice Cerberus wallet pouch BTW Evil

Was awesome meeting you guys at DC and getting to see your work in person. Especially impressive considering the circumstances during your build! I can't thank you enough for all the detailed notes on construction.

I gotta get me one of those foam guns. MDF rifles suck at cons!



Foamshep rules!

How did those foam one compare to yours? other than weight.

Aww man I was going to do the blood armor next. This one is very close to being totally bad ass.

The whole thing came down to the wire for Dragon*Con so there was so much with it I didn't have time to do and finish, forcing me to cut corners. Anyways, I'm heading back to fix it up and finish it (lights, a brand new helmet, and the final piece of neck armor, among other things). I'm going to start a new thread - I'll edit this post and add a link to it, and relinquish this thread to the proper owner.

Check his blog link in the first post for more coverage of the build. The short answer is that he heated up the foam in the oven and then pressed it over a couple bowls with a piece of plexiglass.

If I Can get a hold of this guy to do me the same version of N7 armor he wore for dragoncon, I will work out pricing to have another set made for next haloween... My group of friends LOVE Mass Effect and I would rock the event... I hope I can get a hold of him in time to fit the schedule in for custom work... he is pure genius.

 

[Juna]

hey, am helping a friend build this armour am having trouble even printing out an appropriate template, everyone Ive asked says to re size it in photoshop and print it "its easy" apparently.
I have no photoshop experience and absolutely no clue otherwise...can anyone point me in the right direction please?

if you mean EvilFx, he was selling two upper suits of the armor (minus leg armor) over Ebay a few weeks back.
he might be willing to do another if you contact him over deviantart, here or facebook.
