If you live in Greece, ask me where I sourced it, it was super cheap.Ĭutting, contact cement and heatgun got me this (helmet plus mask).įor the side vents, I went with three pieces. Still, it's smooth on both sides which is great for my needs, and it's stiff enough to both be sanded and retain its shape. It's proper EVA closed-cell foam, but it's less stiff than foam floor tiles. Since I'm not going to be adding a lot to my height, I still want the head to feel small. I'm also making it super snug on my head. I'm taking 1cm thickness as a given throughout. This helmet build is critically dependent on the foam being 1cm thick. I tweaked my 3D model a lot, and unfolded it in pepakura and then adobe illustrator for cleaning up and editing: So after a ton of time and a few failed efforts, I'm finally making headway into the helmet. Tell me what you think and wish me luck <3 I'm waiting for the foam to arrive to start crafting! Even one of the lost Chapters, come on, the Y chromosome thing is inexcusably bad science anyway, and the setting has always been half-serious.) Though I wish they would just allow female space marines already.
(And it's not even heresy, the geneseed needs a Y chromosome, and I'm a trans woman.
I'm going for a female space marine, her name is Theodora Invicta, named after a Byzantine saint (since Imperial Fists have Terran names), has been seconded to the Deathwatch for a decade and misses her kill-team. I have the main mechanism done, here's a finger:Ħ. My powerfist is going to be linkage-operated instead of string-operated. obj files, so that I fit inside the armor. I messed with the proportions, re-scaling and remodeling the default. The helmet unfolds into 3 pieces, using Evil Ted 's technique, to minimize seams.Ĥ. I'm going for the variant helmet without the cables. I'm hoping I will be plenty imposing, especially with the eagle standard on my backģ.I used my paltry 3D knowledge to model a new helmet, based on crealinkarts' blueprints which are in turn very faithfully based on official miniatures. I want to avoid my arms t-rexing, and the miniatures are kind of squat anyway. I'm only adding 12cm to my height, so the final height is going to be 1.84. The proportions of the recent Primaris space marines are also an inspiration.Ģ. I'm going for proportions closer to artscale, which is what Lamenter calls his converted miniatures that are between "truescale" size and mini size. I'm of course using pilerud's priceless Space Marine build guide and the 3D files from obscurus crusade(JF's custom foam files ) with a few deviations:ġ. So my build is an Imperial Fists Vanguard Veteran Sergeant. I'm staying in the Imperial Fists chapter and keeping the veteran sergeant helmet. I wanted mine to be more life-like and hopefully more majestic, with its wing span. In warhammer 40k miniatures, the aquila (eagle) standards are usually flat sculptures. My one concession that isn't solidly grounded in W40k imagery is a proper sculpted eagle standard, on the backpack. The mark VIII armour, the paintjob, the stance, the proportions.įor my marine I want a silver Deathwatch arm with a power fist and a working motorized chainsword with soft foam blades. My main inspiration is this exquisite "art-scale" miniature sculpted by Lamenter and painted by Volomir. I've been obsessing over making a foamie Space Marine for more than a month.Īfter 4 weeks of research, I'm feeling ready.
