Space marines armor.pdf

Thank you for your interest in this Guide,

with this you can start creating your very own space marine costume!

We came up with making “power armor” after seeing

a few photo’s online and thinking we just might be able to build a better one.

And to show off of course.

Although we used these techniques to make a “Space Marine” you could use it to make any

kind of bad ass armor that suit’s you.

WARNING 

This project is big, really big!

It will swallow up more time and money than the game that originally started it and I think that

many of you (although I hope not) might never ﬁnish it.

Also we want to make clear that we are not related to Games-Workshop in anyway and any of

the models used in this guide are for reference purpose only!

We are not responsible for any accidents, mishaps, deaths or ﬁnancial disasters

that can oc

cur during construction. Read the guide before doing anything!!!

Have fun and good luck!

Step 1

First thing you would want to do

is to get yourself some reference

(we got some miniatures and

modeled / painted them exactly

how our costumes would have to

be although eventually we made

a few changes to the details of

the design).

Step 2

Get yourself some clothes,

gloves and rubber boots

with the appropriate under-color.

(We used a black long-sleeved

T-shirt, black trousers, a black

balaclava, normal rubber boots

and some workers gloves.)

Step 3 fabrications.

1) Weapons.

First off we made the weapons to get a feel for the

materials we where going to use.

The “Chain sword” was sawn out of a single board

of wood, which you can still see in the photo.

Then we cut blocks of PU-foam and carved the

right shapes out of the blocks. Those blocks were

put on the board. Then we used black cloth and

“Paverpol” to make the stiff outer side, and ﬁnally

added some details like purity seals and chains.

The bolt pistol is carved out of a big block of PU-

foam.

2) Breastplate.

The breastplate is one of the most difﬁcult pieces and needs the most work. First you build a skeleton

out of wood. The wood we used was plywood because it’s cheap and it’s easy to get. Tip: Make sure

you don’t put to much tension in the construction by forcing pieces into place, because if you create

tension, then when you split the torso into a back and front part, the construction will deform.

Tip2: first glue the parts with hot glue and then after it’s solid you screw the parts together.

You start with the underside of the plate. You cut 4 pieces of 1/3 of a circle, with a radius of about

25cm. Those pieces you pin and glue together to get a bent hoop:

Next is the top: Cut out a circle and half of a circle but with a bigger outer radius. Also cut about 4

cm off each ends of the half circle. Screw them together like on the picture, don’t glue them because

they have to come apart later on. Now connect the

underside and the circle with 4 bent pieces.

Cut away about a quarter of the upper circle

and glue it back but point it a bit down.

The upper and lower parts are connected so now you

cut out two ovals. These ovals are the holes for your

arms. Cut two square pieces and put them at the

ends of the half circle and screw them to the up-

permost circle. Screw the ovals to the two square

pieces. Cut 2 pieces the quarter of the ovals you

used for the armholes. Now those 2 pieces you con-

nect with the square pieces and the ovals. This is

needed later on so you can have a good front and

back part. Now cut 4 pieces to connect the ovals to

the underside, this is also to get a front and back

part later on.

Now you make a box about 25 cm x 20 cm with two holes in

it. These holes are for the hooks of the backpack. Cut out

2 pieces so you can ﬁxate the box between the two pieces

that connect the upper and lower part.

Now the breastplate is done and you can split it

into a front and back part. Cut through the ovals between

the two pieces at the bottom (RED) and cut through

the ovals’ higher curve, where earlier, you installed

the smaller pieces on the inside of the oval; but don’t cut

through the smaller pieces just the outer ovals (RED) !

Now screw off the upper-most circle from the half circle

to complete the front and back piece of your armors torso.

Now you can stuff the skeleton full of PU-foam, gluing it

to the skeleton using PU-foam out of spray cans that you

can fit on a PU-gun. Make sure you use enough PU-foam

that it fills up the skeleton good, leaving no gaps.

Gaps can be filled up with chunks of PU-foam and spray

it full of foam out of the gun. After the foam you sprayed on it

to glue it all to the skeleton has dried, you grab a big knife and

start cutting until you have a good shape. Now you grab

some sanding paper and start sanding until you have the

right shape and a nice smooth surface.

3) Upper legs

Building the legs is just like the breastplate,

you build a skeleton and line it with PU-foam.

The upper legs: Start by cutting out two “big”

ovals, and two circles. The two ovals have to

go around your leg at an angle of about 45 degrees,

so make sure the size is ok. Don’t make the legs

to tight or you wont have much space left for

the PU-foam. Now cut about a quarter out of

the circles. Cut out an arc and glue it to the circles

at an angle, you need this in order to bend your legs

so you can walk stairs and sit down (if you have

the space). Now you can cut out pieces to connect

the oval and circle.

When you finish the skeleton you can line it

with foam. When the foam is in place you can

start cutting and sanding it into the right shape.
