I really like this you're doing some great stuff I just wanted to say that I think that the power fist needs to be a bit bigger. I could be wrong but it just looks a little small.

Not for a sister really, remember not everything is Spess Merinez size.

Yeah, the Powerfist isn't "to scale" and I chose to do that because I wanted it to be more feminine. Aside from 1 umproduced model I have never seen a Sister with a powerfist so I felt I had some leeway with the scale and design. However, I will say once you see it on compaired to the other arm and the in relation to the armor itself you know it's a powerfist.

Yeah...what he said!

Well I would imagine it would be the same scale as the guard fist and that is pretty tiny.

Yes, she can see, as Lorne noted, the divided area allows her to see under the ref glowing section. Infact if you look closely you can see her eyes.
I could make the eye glow fill the opening more , but she would have little vision and bump into stuff, hehe.

I like the effect and would like to keep it, but not at the expence of her not being able to see.

Dividing the lense - quite inventive. Kudos to you, good sir!

Did some work on the powerfist.

It's two part epoxy sculpted to form the banner. Reads "FAITH" on the banner and I added epoxy "rivits" to it as well.



The flash makes it look kinda wierd, but I like the way it's turned out so far. Has to dry over night so I can sand it down.

No,no,no, I want the C&C!
I can talk myself into thinking things look okay or are good enough,
so having outside perspective is important to me, I thank you for your comments

omg i want to live with you lol

That power fist is impressive

You could do this for a living. 100% win. I honestly would have to spend about 5 years of my life trying to make what you've done. Win.

Understatement of the century.


P.S It would be cool if you could create a power cable going from the PF into the sister costume's backpack. That's what IG have, and sisters are basiclly female guardsmen in power armor. Or does PA automatically channel power to a PF? I forgot.

Even some of the space marines have some type of tubing going to the PF. Their PS's all seem to be battery operated though.

I like the idea of the cable to the back pack it would make it more suitable for a sister to power it like that.

Okay, I modded the helm some more, trimmed down the hight of the visor, round some edges, added some do-dads.

I was countermanded about the wings, SO I added some battle damage instead! 1st i primmed it then added the damge with my deremel, here is a WIP of it.





Of course this means I will have to BD the whole suit now...

very nice indeed.. looking forward to seeing the finished outfit.

I started painting the Helm.... Still a WIP, need to replace the red lenses and do some minor work, but I'm happy with it so far.

Nicely done.

More powerfist... Still have to add the power cables and minor things like that, but I'm happy with the way this one is turning out too.. hope you guys like, C&C welcome!

Great work finnlock.Are you just trying to block your face?
Keep up the good work.

It's his girlfriend's.

True, she is always complaing that I take these pictures late at night after she has washed her face and has no make-up on, so no face shots


I also forgot to post a pic of the back of the helm, so here...

Very nice craftsmanship. Is she going to enter a costume contest with it?

Finnlock, the fist looks excelent now painted. The helmets great to

Wow!!! I now have a nerd-boner! I wish I could do stuff like that… You are awesome! You should make a tutorial sometime so we can do the same thing!

Your lady's a good sport; my wife'd probably just roll her eyes if I asked her to do the same.

pandaman wrote:It's his girlfriend's.

oh,well that makes sense.

only problem I can see is that SoB have white hair, you need to repaint that bit.

Great work
