Agreed. I've since added shoulder webbing to the back that attaches to the front of my belt so it won't slouch down. Cod piece now sits in front of the chest armor, actual finger armor now, not just grey winter gloves, hoses that i didn't originally have time for. The Plasma Rifle that was available from EB/Gamestop. It's seen plenty of changes, I'll have to make an update video here at some point.
Hi I’m also making a suit of power armor based off the helmet I got and was wondering if you could help with a problem I’m having. I’m having trouble seeing out the helmet and moving my head around. I’m only able to look left and right and unable to walk properly due to lack of visibility. Any advice?
i encountered this issue on the day, I realized the quickest solution was to add pilot holes to the helmet beneath the visor. I typically wouldn't deface a collectors item but in this case i made an exception. The pilot holes ended up being pretty subtle though so i don't regret it. I've just shared an image of my hole placement via my twitter account "at"nickportman The holes are in the "tear duct" area and are a little bit larger than the circumference of a pencil.
I need one of these for comic con😂 You are obviously very talented. If you would possibly be interested in making another one, I'd be willing to make a deal😊
Cheers Chris. But really it wasn’t a talent required project. This was my first and so far only attempt at an outfit. Heat Gun, glue gun, utility knife, sharpie, metal ruler, Walmart Eva floor mats, plastidip, metalic spay paints, a dremel, and most importantly... TH-cam tutorials. We can all build this.
Hey, I would like to know how much it would cost for you to make another set for sale. I'm 6 foot and where size 14 sneakers, how much would it cost for you to make a set for me?
Hello, good morning, afternoon or evening, I have been asking what is the scale that you used compared to your body, as a reference the 1: 0 is your normal body how much would you use for your cossplay?
Sure, I would often refer to vids from Evil Ted & Punished Props Academy for eva foam armor construction tips, Kaumi Cosplay for painting tips, Also "Grace Willow (formerly Zombi)" has a series of videos documenting her building fallout power armor, these were practical and her weathering techniques were also super useful th-cam.com/video/sXTo02sNI8g/w-d-xo.html

When talking about power armor you have fallout 4 and onwards with frames and what not and fallout new vegas and back with traditional like power armor thats more armor than suit
@@Hillelfan02 it helped that I had the helmet to build down from. But after that I just went as big as I had material for. I used strips of Walmart upholstery foam to fill the negative space between my body and the eva foam.
@@bloo_cookies7007 the front torso is in two parts, the green upper chest, made from one square eva foam mat with cutting and gluing to make it have the rounded edges. The bottom (belly) that’s a band that wraps around me, the front of the band has that black detailing and links to the green chest at the top with Velcro.
Joe Dillings thanks Joe. I imagine you will surprise yourself. The black wash step hides so many errors, and based on the fact we want our armor to look “rough” as apposed to pristine, there is a lot of wiggle room for craftsmanship that might start off on the sloppy side.
Great job brother send pics to Bethesda I guarantee they send you free gifts probably won't be much but a couple t-shirts but my buddy did Hancock as a Halloween costume and he sent pictures to them and they sent him a autographed picture from Todd Howard the creator and the one who voice overed Hancock in the game
Thats great! Unfortunately because you don't have matching paint scheme on the torso you will not qualify for a +1 Strength bonus. xD
Loremaster Lizard -25lbs carry weight :)
Damn
@@nickportman your holding to much Junk and A S.U.I.T
@@nickportman its probably gonna decrease the strength
Actually, it’s like that in fallout 4
T51 was always the coolest armour in the game
True cuz it was the cleanest power armour I called get my hands on
No X01 is the best t51 doesnt make sense it still has little rust after 210 year do i look stupid to you
To me it was t-60 model
@@AliHaider-on7cl not all metals rust
Nah. T60
That's good but Preston needs your help with another settlement
I'll mark it in your pip-boy for you.
Who wouldve thought that in the coming months this would be needed to go outside
Definitely the most realistic looking one out there, now just make it out of metal and get rid of contact issues XD.
Wow, this is amazing!
General Grievous cheers!
1 year has passed and this video still exists me every time I see t51 power armor fallout for ever
Awesome job keeping the scale of the armor proportions! Seen a lot of people attempting this build.
Great looking suit !
Looks so good! The only problem is the back needs to be placed higher. Other than that I say it’s pretty good

It isn't a full scale either, but if it was full scale, your movement would be terrible!
@@wolfphantom9256 i mean it could be based on the fallout 3 t51b and then it would be scaled correctly
Kids gonna have a hell of a costume in the next few years
T-51 is the best looking armor.
How much did the whole project cost you? And can I pay you to make another for myself?
I was about to ask also lol
Best hand made power armor plus award for coolest dad!
With that Power Armor, you can help out another settlement. Here, I'll mark it on your map.
Cosplayers Have an Advantage in the Apocalypse, they can make Stylish Armor
that's some hard work mad respect
Love how he used the 76 helmet, been wanting to see someone do that
Those can grow high amounts of mold.
Different helmet, you’re thinking the nuka cola helmet from chronicle collectibles
Impressive! If only I had the skills to do something like this. Amazing :)
This is amazing my friend, incredibly underrated
Amazing, I'm completely out words!
The T-51 is my favorite model of power armor, great cosplay 👍
I like T-51 but my favorite is T-45 and I don't why because T-51 is so much better than the T-45.
@@MrBioniclefan1 Everyone have his tastes, the T-45 grants a good protection and cost less 😉
Sad that I don't have the power armor training to get one.
This is Art, it's amazing!!
Wow I thought this build log was ingame but when I realized this was real I was blown away it just looks amazing
Looks great Paladin Portman
Bravo! Well done man.
incredible work!

@@nickportman if you have a play list on this can you link that. and really cool
It actually looks good
cant believe i've never seen this secret cutscene before!
try builging the X-01 power armor!
This is outstanding you should do more similar stuff. Obviously it is doing well on your channel too.
that's nice but the brotherhood demands your tribute citizen
Does it have a radio-static like mic??
Ala Mierda yes it’s does
Nick Portman that’s some nice armor then! Congrats!!
Dude thats sick! Im building one my self right now too haha
Good luck man, it’s an endeavor, but heavy duty velcro, time, and workspace can help make it easier.
Nick Portman awesome, thanks for the advice.
That's so cool!
Impressive

How is your Power armor soldier?!
Hello, good morning, afternoon or evening, I have been asking what is the scale that you used compared to your body, as a reference the 1: 0 is your normal body how much would you use for your cossplay?
Did you use templates or build the pieces from scratch?
Visual reference from online photos. Plenty of freestyle for the minor details.
Is this all freehand looks amazing. Wish there were pepakura files out there lol. Great job.
Wish i was this good. My skills don’t even compare
This is sick It would be really cool if you dropped a tutorial on how to make this
I need to do this. This summer.
This is sooooo cooool omg Id love to make and wear this at a cosplay in my country. Id love to get the blueprints for this tooo aaaaa
Its great! You made a lor of effort into this
That’s so cool
can you tell me what videos you watched to be able to make this please?
Sure, I would often refer to vids from Evil Ted & Punished Props Academy for eva foam armor construction tips, Kaumi Cosplay for painting tips, Also "Grace Willow (formerly Zombi)" has a series of videos documenting her building fallout power armor, these were practical and her weathering techniques were also super useful th-cam.com/video/sXTo02sNI8g/w-d-xo.html
@@nickportman Thank you so much.
That's good but mr house needs the platinum chip now
The best part of t-51 b has to be the kneecaps.
Yeah, I’m more a fan of the chest plate but the knee caps do link together well
Where did you get the Power Armor Training? Could you advice bro?

Yeah, I suppose that’s would be a good way to describe the divergence
Do you have templates
I wanna build my own and was wondering how tall you are and what is the scale of this build?
I’m 6’4”. I was shooting for 1:1 but who knows :)
I did add 4” of height to the boots. That plus the helmet has me close to 7’ walking around.
How did you find the scale it looks really close to 1:1!
@@Hillelfan02 it helped that I had the helmet to build down from. But after that I just went as big as I had material for. I used strips of Walmart upholstery foam to fill the negative space between my body and the eva foam.
U sell this piece of armor ?
Imma do this with x02 and add the enclave logo to it
Im also making one too for Halloween
Is it easy?
He couldn't find his power armor so he made his own
Why is the chest piece green and the rest is silver
To match the standard in-game T51b armor
Hearthwave that’s how it is in game
WHOA this is soooooo cooool
WE NEED WINTERISED POWER ARMOR FOR ANCHORAGE
Hey, a little late to this but how long did this take you to make?
Close to a month, working in the evening.
@@nickportman Hey wanted to ask another question, how did you do the curve of the torso? And if so what do you have under the torso to make it curve?

The gobermint soldier:
mmhI N T E R E S I N G
how long did it take
About a month. Could be done faster by someone with experience. I was brand new to EVA foam during the build.
How much did it cost?
Dronivir The Dwemer King few hundred dollars of paint foam and glue, but many hours of sweat equity.
Thats great but it look kinda short;D
You got me dawg 🤣
It looks so easy but it would take me like 9 months to get the foot done
you can unlock stuff except cosmetics
Helmet, Looks brand new
Armor, "WK40K new"
Would you sell this?
Is it only me or his sons face really look like peter parkers
The Enclave needs your smithing skills for a set of X-02 Power Armor. Also known as Advanced Power Armor MK II.
That’s so awesome
Watching this makes me see how crappy my sole survivor cosplay is
Amazing
How do I like videos twice?
the torso is kinda too dark ngl
