Hello all, its been a little while since I have had a build thread going. This thread will be dedicated to a couple different helmet builds/finishing. I recently received two different items in the mail, a completely pepped & hardened Jorge Granadier helmet (was put together by TyrDropProps) and one of Skylow’s fantastic helmet castings.

Additional info:

The 3D file used to created this beast was from Forgedreclaimer. Great job on modeling this, it looks amazing! You can find his model by following this link, here:http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/20099-Forgedreclaimer's-Halo-Models

the unfold I believe was done by Brandon McClain with some custom modifications by TyrDropProps

Jorge/Grenadier

I know my kitchen is messy, I’ve been busy, lol. Anyways, I washed the dishes this morning. Lol

Noble 6 (Mark V ) by Skylow

I received this cast witch had a slight dip at the top. I haven’t had a ton of time do much with it, but I have started the process. Removed dip and did some basic trimming and finishing. Not sure on the color scheme yet, we’ll see.

Well, I know not much has been completed, but expect some updates in the near future, I can’t wait to get these bad boys finished, keep building 405th!

p.s. I havent forgot about the Commando helmet attachment, I'm just embarrassed of the terrible paint job i put on it (rush job). when I correct that, i'll post it in the Commando build, I may just mold it before then. lol
 
I'm excited for you to get this build done. Maybe when it is(if it is good enough;)) a raw cast of it for a raw security. huh, huuuuh?
 
Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

Thanks man, I hope to do a better job on this than the Commando. I feel I've learned some skills since that build and hope to do a good job on it. Its good to have a good starting point and the pep & hardening was done very well. I plan on getting some High Res screen shots of the helm from Reach tonight so i can develop a plan of attack on this. Wish me luck. I could use a nice Security helm for the growing collection BTW. lol :)


awesome Blackula. Trying to make all of noble team or just coincidence?

Not sure yet. I may do it, but I have a project that I will start after these two helms that im sure the community will like (sculpt). I haven't finished buying all the stuff for it yet, but I have most of it. This project is more of a pre-game warm up. If I do make all of noble team, it will be in a little while. I might have to, I don't want my Carter & Skylow's Noble 6 to get lonely. lol.
 
awesome man, everything that you have made has just been amazing =D

Thanks Road kill! Hopefully this too will come out good.

With that said, here is a little update.

So I found some time today to mess around with the Grenadier helmet this weekend as well as few other items.

I shaped & cut the vents off, I need to redo them and shape them more. Hopefully I can get the in game look on it.

So not a crazy amount of progress, but some. Let me know what you think!
 
OK, Here is a small update. I've been super busy with work lately, so I've been having trouble getting things accomplished. Well, here is the update.

Since cutting the vents off of the original model, I decided to modify the shape slightly. I wanted to change some of the angles to match the game a little more and fix the slight warp on the right vent. The vents themselves should angle in, but the hardened model was angled slightly out. So, by hacking of he existing vents and changing the shape a little, I will try and angle the bottom of the vents in, wish me luck, lol. Here are some pics of what I've actually done so far. I will sand these puppies down, tomorrow, so there not so ugly. lol.

I still need to cut this side vent back about a half inch on both sides, so the new vents will sit right.

As always, thanks for viewing my thread and I appreciate any feedback Keep buildings guys!
 
How you thought of this I will never know, but great Idea looks like its going to work Im pretty sure you will not be able to tell that you added those areas in once you done with it, I want to see how it turns out, keep us posted and great job so as usual

Thanks Hyper! Hopefully it comes out good. I'm going to sculpt the detail on the plates that I had pictured in a previous post, then sandwich that between the new vents and the existing piece still attached. Then bondo up the seem and sand, It should blend in nicely. Thanks for viewing my thread my man.
 
Looking great so far! Is the noble six helmet "modded" a little bit? It looks as if the helmet has a bit of a Mark VI added in above the visor.
 
Nice idea with the vent fix, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with you're helmet next.
 
man your double helmet build is lookin sexy already, can't wait to see what else you add to that grenadier helm
 
Thnks guys, its been slow going on this, but here is a little update. The Elite bust is my highest priority right now. Thank fo viewing.


I found some time to fool around with the vents. Here you go:
