Chaplain Build, Black Templar

[doomfist]

Almost exactly a year since I started this and I'm *maybe* 1/2 of the way there.  New house, new shop, new 3d printer.  Here's some of the doo-dads I printed up for the stained-glass back splash coming off of the top of the power pack.

Life got busy.  Finally got back to work on this bastard.  Working on the stain-glass cathedral backsplash on the power pack. 

[doomfist]

Got some more work done on the power pack.

More power pack progress, not 100% sure on the skull-heat exhausts, I plan to have torches coming off the top of the exhaust ports and I'm not sure the skulls are right for that.

And more power pack pics, this time with the stain glass backslash attached (viewed from the rear).  Also finally got my LED Flame Bulbs.   See the attached vid link.

Great work on the back pack.  The flame pots you built are super cool!

Waiting on parts to arrive to continue work on the suit, so in the meantime I worked on the Bolter portion of the project.    I started to create a 3D printed one but I didn't like the results so I'm  scratch building one.  I kind of improvised the design, it's a 'hog leg' sawed off shotgun inspired design.

Great work on the back pack.  The flame pots you built are super cool!

thanks, I'm waiting on the mini-power inverters so I can power them with my ni-cad battery packs.

Cool weapon build.  Very unique design!

Cool weapon build.  Very unique design!

Thanks.  I know it's not exactly canon to the game, but I think it still works.  My son thinks it looks like the HammerBurst from Gears of War.   

Working on the back pack again, testing the torch housing/cage.  It's just sitting on the skull for the test, but I will be mounting it to a small dais/stem that will attach to the top of the skull and will lift the torch housing just a few inches above the skull.  Also  included a link to a second test of the animated flame bulb inside the torch cage.  I just threw a paper towel in to diffuse the light.  I plan to use a kind of cotton/cellophane sculpture in the finished torches.    I also printed up and painted some bolter shells for the gun and to have in a bandoleer on the suit.

What did he use for the boots and gloves?

[doomfist]

the boots are eva foam and wood.  The gloves are field hockey gloves (I think). 

Got the Bolter done, (calling it a Typhon Pattern Bolter).  Still mulling over whether or not to make a bandolier for it with a bunch of bolter shells in to it. 

[doomfist]

Plastidipped an arm today, really happy with the results.   Plastidipped the back pack and used the Metalizer on it, also pretty happy with that, the exhaust pipes turned out a lot better than I though they would.  Then I'm thinking of putting a bolter shell bandolier into the pauldron, what do you think?

My friend...I'm lost of word...This a great detailling job you have done so far ! Love the little shulls as rivets !

The detail work on your armor is really an 11/10. I cannot wait to see it complete!
