My Reach Spartan Armor WIP

[BMP Props]

Just made the stencils for those side plates, they're gonna look awesome. Should have something to show tonight...

Now THATS more like it!...

Also, here's what I came up with for a neck seal. The problem that I found in trying to make an accurate one is that it's freakin different in every reference pic I could find. Also, it seemed like each noble had their own different seal. I came up with this after looking at about 20 pics/screenshots...i don't know...i like it!
it will velcro in the back behind the spinal sheild (which wasn't present in any pics, i just really like it)

thats all for now...off to bed...

More great foam work! Man, I'm sad that the 405th is failing ATM, but glad I can still see great spartan armor being made

I got it all put together last night, filled the larger lines with mod podge, also figured out where the light switch will be...

Very very nice!

And, VOILA! Not too shabby for a first go at painting armor if I do say...
Now, I need to fill in the black details on the backside sand and scuff the edges to expose the metalic paint underneath, probably weather it a little too, we'll see. I'm gonna work on the lights tonight...

And here I thought it looked cool in blues nd grays. Your paint looks great

i was thinking about how to put it on and take it off, how about this...the green line is where the whole thing separates, the blue lines are magnets, there will be a plastic buckle inside as the main connection with the magnets to keep it tight...thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea. Mine is just a slip on, it's alittle tight getting it on but I'm flexible lol when I do use magnets I go to homedepot and get the industrial ones

Yeah, I'm a pretty big dude, flexibility is not my strong suit! I tried putting it on as is, but that is SO not gonna happen. I also thought about cutting it in the same place and reataching it with black elastic straps to just kind of stretch it over...haven't decided which direction I will take.

 

[The Armorer]

Magnets or buttons (since it's foam) it's always been a Spartan's bane
