Nicely done Mr Freeman!

Welcome to the H E V mark four

Nice.

Provide the files good sir
2
The parts took a lot of tuning and fitting to get right specifically for my body type. I know how to make them production-ready, but it will take time to edit and publish everything nicely.

Oh ok, I don’t want you to over work yourself or anything, especially after you made this beast of a cosplay, so take a break, get some hot cocoa, and keep playing half life or something
2
Sick! Do you have the files?
2
Christ how much did you spend on the filament?? Looks great btw :)
2
I would say it took 6 kg of filament, omitting print failures. Lots of different pieces that had to come together.

Time doctor Freeman?

kinda looks like a mix between the HEV Mark IV and HEV mark V
2
So Black Mesa styled their HEV Mk IV from the files of Half Life 2's Mk V, but mostly changing the colors. I took the liberty of expanding the suit by modeling some more waist pieces to fit the style of the Mk IV suit. If I could start from scratch, I would redesign it entirely based from the Mk IV.
2
I thought they styled the HEV suit more off of how it is in Half-Life PS2
image with every official design of the HEV suit, and an extra one from Operation Black Mesa
2
The PS2 version a high rez version of the HL1 version. The Black Mesa version is missing a lot of the hip/waist details.
2
Very useful design chart, to be fair the image I linked for the black mesa design was a SFM port which changed the hip designs a bit. Regardless, I tried to model it after the PS2 port the closest.
2
ah that Black Mesa Design definitely uses a Gordon Model that is meant to have the Mark V, pretty sure I've seen it in many recent SFM movies. (The origin of that Gordon model is >!Half-Life Alyx!<)
2
Dang I wished I had seen you! That looks awesome
2
Did you bring your passport?
2
Gordon Freeman?! And about time too!
2
Mark IV > Mark V

If you go to a convention, you should speak in sign language or don't say a word, it'll make your cosplay more accurate.

Very nice man

You should have taken the mask off for the picture

More pics on my twitter. My next step is mounting it on a mannequin to show off in my office, and fit a sound board I made to the bottom panel for startup noises and fun things.
Also the absolute banger that plays when you first put it on?
Oh absolutely, you know that's my startup noise.
Do you plan on making a helmet?
I have files for it, but they need to be prepped/sized/adjusted for some things like vents, buckles, and fans. That damn suit is sweaty enough lol
