There comes a time in every man's life when he sits down, thinks to himself and comes to the realization that he has nothing better to do with his time than make a full suit of Warhammer 40k Space Marine armor. This is the chronicle of that struggle:
It started out with this post on The Bolter and the Chainsword. I sat and sort of marveled at the achievements of the gentlemen who made the set of armor show in the post. I downloaded their instuctions, looked it up and down and decided that I wanted to make something similar. Rather than the materials they used, though, I decided I wanted to use a process similar to what was used on this fabulous Storm Trooper armor tutorial. "Awesome," I thought, "I have a plan!" But looking at it, I noticed one problem: this was going to take money, and I have basically none. Cursing the Heavens, I began to get bummed. But, a new thought occured to me. What if I combined my desire for some Space Marine armor with a sort of challenge. The challenge being finding a way to make the best armor I possible could for as cheap as possible. This is my mission.
