    Noble 6 Custom DONE! PICS PAGE 34

    #1
    Hi all,
    Firstly some background, Some of you may remember about 6 months ago I posted up a thread with my pep card build of Warmachine, sadly I got a bit bored of it and gave up. Then being friends with Drack and seeing some of his foam work I soon saw the benefits of using foam and decided to get straight on it!

    Firstly I started by practicing and making the Warmachine helmet (this kind of sucked) but Drack showed me techniques to use and so I have begun building my custom suit from Halo Reach. So this is my custom Noble 6 suit, so far its not very custom, i've been building it standard as a base and then will be making modifications and additions later.
    So far though the peak on the shoulder is custom (currently and embarrassingly run out of glue so this is incomplete and not been able to build the other side as such) right shoulder is a simple vent and the left shoulder will be housing a light for improved night vision


    Oh and just want to say i've been checking out a lot of peoples builds too many to mention but mainly been paying attention to Roxy Roo (as recommend by Drack) if you see this Roxy then just wanna say, love your work, and though it doesn't seem so now your work has inspired me with my build and so you'll see some of your influences popping up soon!
    anyway thanks and heres the pics guys


    right so anyway sorry if you've got bored reading all that, here's some pics of progress so far! ENJOY!!

    so this is my online suit (helmet is different from what i've made though)



















    This is the custom shoulder part for now (more of this when I get more glue in the week)



    Right hope my efforts so far have impressed and inspired as I have been looking at others work. Theres loads more to come from me on this build so keep your eyes peeled and i'll be back soon, comments/questions welcome. As has been pointed out some details aren't currently accurate and a lot of it isn't very tidy at the moment but bear in mind its still a work in progress

    Cheers Guys

      I really like the helmet. It's not too often that you see a foam helmet, and you certainly pulled it off. Good job! I like the chest too, so overall well done. Keep up the great work!

          Nice job on your foam build. I am glad to see someone try to build the different helmet out of foam.

                  Nice job on the helmet! That was the first thing I tried to build from foam but I've failed spectacularly

                    For me The helmets been the easy part, its the chest and back thats caused me some major annoyance because as i've been building it so far I thought it was looking pretty nice, but looking more and more at other peoples work theres a lot of modding that needs doing to it, still obviously loads to finish on it before its anywhere near good enough and quite a few bits to change, e.g. the blue bits on the front of the chest are way too small and theres loads of bits like that, that need changing.... grrrr

                    Still its a work in progress and as I said its a custom suit at the end of the day so I'm not going for an exact replica of N6

                      Yo yo bro. Good to finally see the suit up on the forum. Looking forward to seeing that helmet closer to finished. Get your Avatar sorted!

                          HI.

                          Not gonna lie, bro. Your chest piece is too small. Don't fret! I think it can be easily fixed. It's only the "rib cage" part that's too small. I just comes up too far on your armpit. Just make those pieces a little longer. Reason being, remember you have to leave room for that black cushioning layer. Other than that, nicely done. It's really cool to see another foam helmet build. It's mostly unexplored territory. I think only Drack and one other guy has done it so far. (and now you too, of course).

                            Looking good. I do have to agree with Roxy on the chest piece "rib cage" part being too high though. You don't want to miss out on the arm seals!

                            Can't wait to see that helmet together
