And another Halo Magnum finished, this one will go on a bookend which is still under construction

Birthday present time!!!

Fitting for a bolt pistol comes:

Dark Angel power sword, made from EVA foam with a wodden core and now painted with acrylic paint

And here is the M41A Pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher

Some updates:

Colonial marine armour was now completely disassembled and painted:

Now putting it back together and finishing the helmet.

Finished my MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System

Instead of trying to make it out of one block of foam, I tried seperate pieces here:

 

 Adding and carving more details:

After priming with woodglue already started with a black layer and sticked together with some toothpicks:

After it is completly painted I will post eom pictures of course as well.

 
Made also a small Bolt Pistol as a Birthday present for a 12 year old (so child size :-P)

I am also working on a Colonial Marine armor from the movie Aliens.

The templates are pepakure foam templates and the armor is made from EVA foam.


Started with the shin/leg guards:

Then came the torso on my new tape dummy:

Some shoulders:

And all the missing rest:

I am still working on changing the beltbuckle size and the belt in some areas and also replacing the black belt straps with olive ones as well (waiting for my orders to arrive).

 The helmet is also in the making, still had an old M1 US helm lying around. :-P

Of course I am planning on making myself a nice pulse rifle for this costume as well.

A few updates!!!

So I am trying to make some Halo Magnums, trying different sizes and trying to perfect my work technique with extruded polystyrene.

First version: 
 

Too big, many cutting mistakes, new try:

Version 2:

Better, maybe too small this time, only problem ....

I did might cut off too much to get all the details ... still can be used as something that is put on a wall.

Version 3:

Better, much better ... not perfect but getting there, 4 or 5 more and then I should have it.

Also here is a picture of the nearly finished Tech Adept:

First test fit on of the chestpiece and of course one of the foam belts rips of, so back to the workshop, need a different type of belt thingy ....... maybe leather belt?

Thats it!

Here are some updated pictures on projects.

First the Mask for the Tech Adept, made from a Kroenen-Mask and added polystyrene, kabels and hoses:

 

 

  Now the Staff/Power Axe, made from polystyrene and PVC pipe:

And this is some sort of harnish of the Adept
Started like this and made from EVA Foam mats:

And it now looks like this:

One project I finally finished was a M8 Assault Rifle
Started like that, made from EVA Foam mats:

 

 And it now looks like this:

 And a few other things made from the wonderful extruded polystyrene

 A X-Com Laser rifle which looks like this:

And this is my version:

And a Halo Magnum:
