Rokusho66 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Update: as promised up to date photos. front half: http://imgur.com/mk9EtrJ Lower back: http://imgur.com/m2S8siJ I’m talking with my friends to figure out how to just import the pictures rather then the links because that’s probably annoying for you all. As a bonus here’s one of my guinea pigs enjoying some yams: http://imgur.com/mk9EtrJ as an apology And since I have a whole roll of unused foam I’ll be working a snipetron vandal. hello everyone, been a while since I’ve been on the forums but I am making my second attempt at EvA cosplay and decided to try out doing Volt since his form is over all simplistic and more feasible then other warframes accounting for my build. I am am currently in the stage of making templates using the wrap and tape method by kamuicosplay and will begin taking photos when I have started cutting into the actual foam. a couple of things I will be sacrificing for functionality: The under layer will not have much detail and some buckles will be visible as to allow freedom of movement. i will be using a black skin suit for the under layer. i will be using some alternate armors to the base not just for function but to help bring my Volt to life. if I do the Arrester helmet I will likely have to make Eyeholes somehow I can see. (No way I could attach a camera to the outside and wire a screen on my budget. part of this will get held up by the fact some of the foam has yet to be delivered and I work 60 hour work weeks. Lastly: I don’t want to hear anything about needing to pull the files from the game in order to create the templates unless they have links to said templates and photos that they’ve done it themselves as I’ve so far only found one other Volt cosplay attempt which didn’t look photo realistic but was resourceful given the materials he had to work with.

Rokusho66 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Well this is awkward I mentioned in my Op that some of my materials were delayed and I just was notified I would receive the rest of my foam today. Which means if I finish my templates for my chest and helmet today I could begin cutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokusho66 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Just finished the base of the helmet and cutting it out. Have to stop for today but I won’t be moving on to glueing until have cut out other forms and finished my template for the body. http://imgur.com/LbG0lpC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 The plan is to take that helmet and use it as a base after it’s glued to attach the faceplate, then the back rim/spoiler, then last will be the attenae and side vents. i did the base helmet myself based off evil ted smith’s design but he sells the template on his website as well. I’m at work today and probably won’t get much more done tonight but if I make any progress I’ll update it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokusho66 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hello everyone minor update to the cosplay. I’ve decided to go with the Maggor chest plate so that way my body armor can be a few separate pieces to allow more range of movement. Bit ambitious for my second EvA attempt but I felt inspired by the Valkyr cosplay. i just finished the body template and feel confident I can do this. additionally I’m weighing whether or not to add a pocket in the upper chest to hold items since the skin suit doesn’t have pockets. http://imgur.com/V8hfVBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Let’s play today I learned: Today I learned...aligning regristration marks with red sharpie on black EvA is not easy and next time to buy grey even if black is going to be one of my main 3 colors. zippers and buckles arrived today so I’m trying to get the chest and back going so I can finish the helmet. The maggor chest is just taking a while. also they gave me ALOT more nylon then I was expecting. i should have significant time to work on this on my birthday in 2 weeks so I’m hoping to have everything ready to prime by then.

My Kubrow got admitted to the emergency room for a heart murmur and I’m struggling for any of my images to not just appear as links for some reason. I have more progess done and lotus willing I’ll be able to take picture of the base of the lower chest and maggor base chest as well as some of the unfinished limbs. Hoping to get major work done this Friday on my day off to Dremel things down and get into assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Well I didn’t get a chance to take out any of my work so I’m gonna try again tonight. in the meantime enjoy this thing I sketched out while waiting for a machine at my job to initialize. http://imgur.com/duiQhgM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Status update I found an awesome silver sharpie that works on black EvA foam. my maggor chest piece is now ready for dremeling. http://imgur.com/p5dj6gM http://imgur.com/7Kgsbpt sorry for the delay I was surprised with an early birthday celebration that caught me off guard as it’s not until tomorrow.

Rokusho66 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Progress update. http://imgur.com/VbCBstb shoulders are heat formed glued just need to be dremeled, sealed, and put on a layer of trim over the silver. Arm coils are setting as I type. http://imgur.com/0W22aaw maggor chest piece is glued and sealed but needs to be heat formed. will probably still need some detailing that can’t be done with paint but I’m gonna hold off on that until I see it heat formed.

Rokusho66 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Okay so it’s been eight days since I last updated this thread and sadly I don’t have photos but here’s the tldr. The zipper fell off my greaves so I had to reattach that. gauntlets have their zipper attached and are ready for priming and painting. And lastly I have been bashin my brains in trying to get the face plate of the arrester helmet right and after the 4th attempt I oddly enough found some scrap pieces that when pressed together got the front corner I wanted so after 5 @$&?!ing attempts....I am satisfied with my progress to the point I can report it. I have to do the chins and horns still but given the wall I’ve hit I’ll take it. while hitting the wall I had some spare foam and decided to do the thighs and knees of my Volt. Just formed it today. Hopefully I’ll have photos of things to show tomorrow or this weekend and maybe edit the main post with links to the progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone, so about updating the thread last week.... because I found out that I may be able to go pax west on September 2nd and I have been running my self ragged trying to get anything and everything done. Apologies for lack of even just links to photos and the second I get some free time to post photos I will even if it is post pax. as of right now the only things not ready or in the middle of priming are the cod piece, the belt/skirt, and helmet. i even managed to find away to do the upper legs of volt through some shenanigry.

Rokusho66 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 I’ve been working on a lot and don’t have much for photos but here’s the helmet so far. Volt arrester(wip): http://imgur.com/QXh6hi9 I already made the side plates and horns but can’t glue them until I close the face. Hoping to start painting this weekend if I’m lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I’ve begun painting! Due to an injury I can’t finish glueing the helmet but it’s just a matter of glueing the horns. heres the first coat in the chest piece: http://imgur.com/5DhOY2l I’m confident I’ll be able to meet the deadline now so I have a question. If I have extra time should I do a skana or snipetron vandal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snipetron if the time allows for it, else the scana should be "simple" enough as a quick project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusho66 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Okay well maybe instead of skana or snipetron I should ask Braton or Snipetron? If I don’t have time for either primary I can do the skana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
