Re: Galactic Marine

Hello,

Been quite a while since I've posted on this. I have since moved back to MI in November '13. I ordered a bunch of armor to work on back in November. Now my problem is I may have to sell off everything :(

Re: Galactic Marine

Hello all, I have moved out of the state. I'm currently living in Bismarck, ND with my Brother-in-law and his wife. Not a lot of room for me to work on my project, but once the weather warms up out here I'll get back on it and keep this post up to date. I will be visiting Michigan now and again, bec...

Done for now. May need to make the cowl shorter, but will wait till I get some chest armor.

Re: Galactic Marine

Build is going slowly. Wife took a travel nurse position and has been in Abilene, TX since the beginning of January. I've been working on non-fun stuff lately (house, bills, checking. etc.). Tossing around the idea of quitting work and maybe going back to school. Not sure about that though as I have...

Re: Galactic Marine

Having a difficult time attaching the cowl. Fabric is not my friend. Anyone near the Saginaw area willing to lend a helping hand? Either I could come to you or you could come to me.

Re: Galactic Marine

Sorry my W.I.P. on the helmet hasn't been moving much lately. Had an attempted break-in a few weeks ago. Monies I saved for helmet and armor had to go to fixing window and surveillance cameras. Kid was caught, we go to court tomorrow. Nothing was taken, never got in. Hope to get back on the helmet s...

Re: Galactic Marine

Had to go back a couple of steps and add a trim line around the brow and edge of the helmet. So I have the trim line on now. Touched up some areas that needed a little more work. Believe after the touch ups are sanded down, I can primer and paint. http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/32/dsc06269y.jpg ...

Re: Galactic Marine

I had to look over the CRL on this. there wasn't one a couple months back that I saw, but there is one now. I need to have a thin bead trim line around the helmet. So was thinking, would a weed wacker line, bondoed over, possible work? or I'm open to other suggestions too.

Re: Galactic Marine

Been sanding and grinding and sanding and grinding and sanding and grinding most of the day. Think I have it ready for some primer. Waiting for the temps to come down some more. http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1737/dsc06247ur.jpg By nikantikife at 2011-07-02 http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5476/...

Re: Galactic Marine

As I was working on this helmet this past weekend, I came to a conclusion that I wasn't utilizing my garage properly. So I went into a garage remodel. Just rearranging it around. Almost done with it, and plan to resume work on the helmet Saturday.

Galactic Marine

Got my GM helmet in the mail today (Wednesday). Hope I can get some time this weekend to get started on this. This is my very first Costume build and as I've heard a very difficult build at that. Got a good tutorial to follow for the helmet. Hope the pics post right. http://i29.photobucket.com/album...

Re: You asked for it, you got it! Armor Party at Jolly's

Thanks Jolly for hosting the armor party. Had a great time! Learned somethings, and it was great to meet you all. Hope by next one I'll actually have some armor to work on!
