Halo MK VI custom (FINISHED)

Well it is all finshed now enjoy.

this is my first armor atempt so bare with me on this i started it about 2 months ago before i joined the 405th so the first few peices are done with scotch tape.
but any way here are pictures.

these shins were rediculesly huge so i cut them in several places and made them smaller

please relise that these gauntlets were the first 2 peices hence all the scotch tape.
and that is all so far, I'll keep you updated.

It's looking good so far, but as a word of advice, when things are too big, it's just better to redo them. It gives the final project an overall better look.

Yes but inthe case of the shins if I had resized them they would be way to small. Myself I am over 6ft tall and really skinny so they were either going to be tall and fat or small and skinny so I opted to modify the design to make it slimmer.

just letting you know, in the pic with the hand, you have to turn your piece the other way
the indend hole has to be to the back (the side of your arm)

Nice pep work so far. Other than the amount of scotch tape, it looks very good so far. I never thought of using MK VI shoulders with the Halo Reach armor pieces (shins, forearms, etc.). I'm looking forward to see more of your progress.
