Title: Help w/ Fem. Comm. Shepard armor!
Post by: citatscEellE on January 16, 2012, 11:19:40 PM
So i decided to be commnder shepard for comic con and PAX East this year. And everything is basically laid out (im almost done making my M8 gun). Except for the armor. It needs to be scaled to fit ME. So now i have 2 qustions...

1. can anyone make a 3D image of a FEMALE Comm. Shepard armor that can be exported to Pepakura?

2. And if not, does anyone know how to scale a image in photoshop to fit a person?

Im just really confused, i've made TONS of props/masks but never a full armor. Ive seen HEAPS of tutorials on making COG, Halo, Iron Man and War Machine armor but nada for Mass Effect.
So if anyone has any info/answers/advice or something it would be much appreciated!
Thanks :D!

A friend of mine made his own ME2 Garrus costume last Halloween.  It was pretty epic.  Here's a couple places that might be worth a look.

Suprisingly effective ... are those your real boobies. You do know one is blue and one is green. I'd see a specialist.
