FIRST BUILD: Halo Reach Custom Multiplayer Spartan III [Part 2]

ALRIGHT PART 2!! Like i said previously, after the shins were done i started on the forearms...

UNTIL DISASTER STRUCK!!!

My god damn puppy got ahold of the forearm pieces and, well... the damage is apparent.
little prick...

So, time to start making the replacement then.

LOOK AT DEM CUUUUURVES!!


Had to do a little sanding and buffing around the seams to make it look a little smoother
Before...
After!

Forearm #2 as well:

Next up was the shoulder. This is where the "Custom" part comes in to the build.
I'm basically just doing my multiplayer armor variant, which includes the SECURITY shoulder:


SORRY! HAD TO CENSOR SOME PRIVATE INFORMATION ON COMPUTER!

So that's it for this installment. Stay tuned for the next part where I ACTUALLY GET A WORKBENCH!!

FIRST BUILD: Halo Reach Custom Multiplayer Spartan III [Part 1]

Alright, first ACTUAL costuming post. I kinda suck at introductions for this sort of this thing so let's just jump right into it.

This was my first proper build, and, for its ease to work with, is also a foam build. As you'll obviously see my skills are really rough to start out, but reach a somewhat passable level by the end of the project.

So I started with the thigh pieces (on a cutting board on the floor of my bedroom. Like i said, baby steps...)

First comes the pepakura stencils:





Next comes the building:




It may be a rough diamond... but it's MY rough diamond
(also I apparently came down with a bad case of Parkinson's while taking these pictures)


Alright, so with the thighs done, the shins were up next:
(Starring: My flustercluck of a desk!)

OH GOD THE PARKINSON'S IS BACK!

So that's it for this first post, stay tuned for next episode, where i tackle the forearms and first shoulder!
