The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: 3D Print armor files / Mini Marine project
PostPosted: Tue Oct 13, 2020 11:43 pm

Wanted to create something that could be scaled for a custom fit.
Will hopefully do a few sizes on the run up to Xmas but i have quite a few different armour files I am creating at present and don't want to take too much on all at once.

To prove can be done in any size I am aiming to build my newborn daughter, 4 months old today a set of armour fingers crossed in time for Halloween or more realistically a little after and who knows maybe she can be the youngest Colonial Marine and share in something her dad loves.

Wish me luck I am going to need it.

P.S I am sure the eagle eyed of you will notice i haven't done the ridges on the Ab pad yet and will likely only tackle that when I am doing adult sizes and not caught up in my Gears of War designs.

Very cool idea & congrats on the new addition to the family.

You've got these models [the full size versions] up on Esty too?

Happy to try run it at cost but I'm outsourcing the 3d printing right now myself so it's still expensive, even baby size looking like £400 with the helmet

Original idea is to mould and run these in rubber so they are hard wearing and little more storage con friendly so as long as I had time to mould I'm happy to help here for cost as it means I just get to eventually offer a bigger age range 0-16 xs-xxl who knows lol
