I think its a fantastic back story! Good to see more people actually creating a Spartan, instead of just armor. Everything is looking nice btw. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks man! I'm pretty creative and I want to be able to say more than just "hey, look at this cool armor I made." I'm likely going to add strips of leather to the end of the assassination knife as a sort of "tassel" made from the hide of the first Sangheili my character assassinated, as well as a few other things to help create situations where I can tell my story. I'm always glad to hear compliments on my work.
I would be Pepping the other Hand Plate now, but I got up late this morning and ran off to school without my hot glue gun *facepalm* and my scissors *double facepalm* so that's going to have to wait until tonight or tomorrow. I guess that means I have an hour to get all of my story concepts organized! Should be more pics by Saturday.
