I'm sure I'll be doing more 40K stuff. In the course of this build I stumbled across this particularly tempting illustration:
But that's an idea for another year...
It occurred to me a while back that this is another year. I figure I don't have nearly enough projects going on all at once, so in my copious free time I've been working on the Wolf Helm of Russ. Here's a snapshot of the sculpt as it looks right now:
Once I'm satisfied with the shape of the teeth, I'll be molding this bad boy. I'll add the rivets, hoses, and grill inserts to the cast version once I have it out of the mold.
Hi! It's been a while this awesome thread, tho I'm wondering, is it possible to take good picture of your harness/support, if you still have them close!I'm really looking to make one for my boyfriend but I still wondering what is the best way to stack them together. I saw the clip for the shoulder/upper arm but the rest is still a mystery!Thanks a lot for this step by step, you are really inspiring! Funny too!
Just noticed that I never replied to this question. In short, I really don't have photos of the harness arrangement. That's mostly because there's not much to see. The thighs are suspended from the belt/daiper assembly which is permanently attached to the waist section. The waist has suspender straps to hold it up to the wearer's shoulders. Here I am wearing just those pieces without the shins, chest, or arms:
Here's another shot in one of the Dark Angels from behind:
The shins ride on top of the boots, so there's no need to strap them to the wearer. The rubber parts at the knee are attached to the bottom of the thighs and keep the shin from flopping around loose.
The shoulders are attached to the chest with some bungee cords so the can move a bit, but the return to a static position when there's nothing pushing on them. The backpack is bolted directly to the back of the armor. The forearms and upper arms are both bonded to the rubber at the elbow joint, and the hands are attached to handles that are held by the wearer in the suit.
I realize it's probably way too late, but I hope this helps all the same.
