Space Marine armour

Thu Sep 24, 2009, 12:39 PM

Hi there peoples!

I've sorely neglected my efforts to make a suit of space marine armour for my buddy before Halloween this year so I thought I had better get the finger out and get to work.

After a few more hours of toiling over the correct few millimeters here and there on the helmet construction, I scratched my head and realised that I'm just not good enough to be that precise!!!

All precision was chucked out the window and I got a lot of work done, the helmet is nearly complete, I've made a mock-up suit of armour from cardboard and even bought some walkie-talkies to rig into the helmets when they are done (yes, I might be over-reaching a bit

).

But I'm stuck... What chapter do I paint it???!?!
I'm a big Dark Angels fan (Angels of Redemption tbh), my buddy is a big Space Wolves fan, but Ultramarines are more generic and recognisable.

Any suggestions folks????

Hi! I hope you don't mind me PM'ing you here - I saw the helmet ou've bene making and was wondering if you could offer advice or a good guide for a complete novice? I have my halloween thinking cap on and so far it's either a space marine or megatron ;D either way i needa helmet! yours looked great!

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Niall.

Cheers for the comments! But I'm afraid I haven't really any advise other than jump in and try!!! This is the first time I've ever attempted anything like this, normally nothing bigger than the 40k scale minis

It's been my buddy's wish for a Space Marine costume for years so he's kinda nudging me to do it. Best of luck in your attempts mate!!

I'll PM you when I get more work done on it.
