Looking fantastic kitnip!

Okay, I'm not sure if it is just me or not, but that white with dark gray color scheme looks great. I know you haven't finished, but I'm just saying.

Awesomesause, when I look at those pics, I feel like I'm looking at the real master chief :O

Haha, thanks! But hopefully less man-like

I really wanna say I am very impressed. the fact that you are free drawing is as amazing as your work. I cant wait to see this when it is done and finished. keep up the great work.

Thank you, I can't wait to see it done either, lol!

Lol, I suppose it does look pretty cool! But honestly, I'm so excited to paint it and get it all weathered and metal looking. Right now it seems a little too.... Stormtrooperish lol

I saw yours and it's looking fantastic!! I actually kept staring at your boots trying to figure out how you made the front shape of them lol. Took me forever to figure out mine.

UPDATE!
Soooo I finished my biceps! AAAND I finished my boots!! BAM

With the shoe out:

Niiice and flexible!

Next up, shins!

I am loving this thread, I am new to pep myself, and I was shocked when I found people doing it with foam when I found this site. You have very clean work compared to a lot of the other stuff I have seen so far, I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

I'm with jason on this one. the color scheme is pretty sick.

Fantastic work, and everything is looking very well proportioned too!

Spartan214 · Jul 12, 2013

I like those shoes...lol, almost tempted to call them halo spats. If Microsoft and them were to team up with some sneaker or boot manufacturer and made a line of spartan shoes, I'd totally buy them
Anyways, everything's coming together so wonderfully! ^^

SniperWolf · Jul 12, 2013

This is coming out great!

PolyEngineer · Jul 12, 2013

Most impressive. I can only hope to be near your perfection when I attempt to transfer from pep to foam!

DystopianDeer · Jul 12, 2013

I can only hope that mine turns out this great when I start on it and I'm doing pep. I can't wait to see more!

U513 · Jul 12, 2013

Very Nice!!

PHIL 907 · Jul 12, 2013

I'm definitely going to be following this thread, your foam work is excellent and the fact that you made a helmet out of foam is extremely impressive! Btw your paint scheme idea is great, gotta show dat pink!

jacobp192 · Jul 12, 2013

Loving how it looks so far, can't wait to see the finished product. Kinda wishing I was doing mine out of foam :/

tabris89 · Jul 12, 2013

lookin super sweet kitnip!! i have a request though. when chuckin up your progress pics, can u do a shot of the foam before the details, and after the details are added?

chippie · Jul 12, 2013

Love what you have done especially the detailing.

Can't wait for the completed project.

drack · Jul 17, 2013

Coming on really nicely Kitty!

Hi there, just wanted to say awesome build and amazing foam work ya have there. Im about to start my own first suit build and you have made me rethink the whole thing. I knew which suit I wanted ( MK IV ) but wasnt happy with the pep files I found for anything other than the helm. And following your progress with Sketch-Base-Detail is now what Im planning on doing.

Once again beautiful work and props to you for being a female and showing us guys how its done

Thanks!! I absolutely love foam. I just find it so much easier then the fiber glass route. Cheaper too!

Yay, thanks!! I find scaling is one of the more difficult things so I'm glad you think so!!

Thank you! Lots of people do combinations of foam and pep, so it's still an option

Yup! I just get a little carried away when I start building but I'm definitely gonna try and get those progress pics!
