My Reach Spartan Armor WIP

[NeoRodimus]

I love halo builds, this on is awesome especially the rifle.

So here's this...Yes, I know its too small. Yes, I am keeping it that way, I actually like this size better...makes a little more sense for mobility and it is still an ominous huge badass shoulder guard.

Proportional changes occur in every Spartan costume anyway. The helmets are always too large, and the legs too short because a real human has to fit inside. So even if that shoulder is inaccurately small, it looks great anyway.

 

[NayrDeathExp]

That shoulder looks great.

I like it, Too much bulk never befits a human, unless EVERYTHING is over bulked, then it's gears of war like and just flows right, but it looks REALLY good, so don't worry about it

well, if it wasn't before, its official now...feeling like a badass.


after plasti-dipping, the ever meticulous (and necessary!) taping...

and voila!

 

[red4]

You should give it scuff marks with exposed metal.

 

[drjag]

Damn thats badass! I imagine the whole suit will look EPIC. Can't wait to see the rest.

 

[Rodolfo]

Cool!! Nice paint job!!!

 

[daninboo]

Bad ***** indeed!

 

[Minuteman]

Attempting the reach operator helmet in foam tonight, anybody have any tips on how to make seemless contoured parts for the smooth, curved top portion of the helmet? I see lots of seemless iron man helmets, just wondering how you figure out what shape to cut to avoid seems....

 

[red4]

It could be a combination of cutting the right pattern, as well as carving the foam itself.

i should have most of this helmet done by now. but no, i don't. my printer crapped out while i was at work today. i have everything i need to build, but i can't print the stencils. starting to worry about my deadline...

 

[BMP Props]

Fixed the printer, started the helmet earlier. Got quite a bit done already, I'll post pics tonight after work...

 

[BMP Props]

[Drack]

Oohh I think this is going to look great. Reminds me of the LilTyrant and RoxyRoo days

Wow, thanks, That's a huge compliment...those were two of the finest sets of Reach armor around.

 

[The Armorer]

I was about to ask which helmet you were going to have, I was hoping Grenadier for some reason, but the operator looks sweet

And I agree with Drack, your skill in foam is quite amazing, definitaly worth elite forum status

almost done, except for the goggles part, just need to finish under the chin...

scale looks good...


also, the seems on the dome are pretty much flush, after plasti-dip and primer, they shouldn't be visible at all...
