Right, so I've been lurking here forever and been awed by the numerous armors and such and finally got it into my head to build my very own Spartan. I am going with the Halo 4 MK 6/7 Spartan II. I've decided to follow in the footsteps of the Great Cereal Killl3r. I've never done a pep before this, so naturally I started with the helmet. Baby steps right? I also pep'ed out the torso at the same time. Let's take a look shall we?
That's the initial work. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we get to this:
You can't really see it(or maybe you can) but there was some unfortunate warping in the helmet and the "back" of the torso. I've cut off the shoulder pods both to be able to shape them and because I ultimately want to mold all this stuff and you can't mold the back of the torso with the pods in place. I am slowly working to smooth out the asymmetry in the helmet. I plan on almost COMPLETELY re-doing the back of the torso along with the pods. I am very thankful for all the hard work that went in to the pep models, but the back of the torso especially is woefully divergent from in-game designs. I am primarily working on the Helmet, but I dabble in the torso when I need to take a step back. Hope you all enjoy my hard work! Any and all pointers and constructive criticisms are welcome.
