-Armor construction is going according to plan, although slightly behind schedule. The project deadline is 11/11/2014, launch date of the Master Chief Collection. As requested we have begun on a major of the armor and weapon construction however there have been some setbacks. Currently everything but the Ricochet Torso and the M247H Heavy Machine Gun is printed and ready for initial construction. There is some progress on the Helmet and the FOTUS Gauntlets are just waiting on a shipment of hardener we need to order.

The weapon request has been submitted and is awaiting a determination of construction method and Electronics wiring.

The Under Suit is a slightly different story, the Skinsuit is in but we are awaiting the material for the details and Hard-Points, Plan is to use EVA Foam mats for the Hard-Points and thinner foam padding and other materials for the woven and hexagonal patterned pieces; this will allow maximum mobility while allowing for discreet point to mount the armor

Attached below are pictures of the Pep'd FOTUS Gauntlets and the current progress of the Raider Helmet.

-Construction of the GEN2 armor for SPARTAN Z-001 is moving along nicely. The Raider Helmet has been finished and is being put into queue for Hardening and electrical work. Recently do to some high temperature readings at the SPARTAN's deployment point it is recommended that an integrated cooling system is installed within the helmet hand into the under-suit. A recommended product would be to modify a CPU water cooling system for computers, one for the body and one for the Helmet. We have begun to work on the Under-suit, however we have yet to receive the various types of foam required for the build, the plan is to use modified blueprints originally created by 'Black Underdog5' and mount it over a Morph suit.
We have begun work on the GEN2 MK VI shoulders and we hope to have them done soon.

Attached are pictures of the completed Helmet.

Looking good so far. How many suits is this now? I believe this is the first raider helmet as well. How much trouble did the forearms give you? Reason i am asking is that the fotus armor set very organic and not angular like the rest of the armors. Has the paint scheme been declassified?
 
The forearm scale looks spot on. I like your Raider helm too. Keep this up you will have a very fine suit!

//Reply= This is the 3rd set of Mjolnir armor issued to SPARTAN Z-001. The forearms construction was not that difficult, the more organic and rounded look was not harder than the traditional looks.
As for the colors Z-001 will be sticking with his traditional Primary-Dark Blue and Secondary-Steel the visor is yet to be determined.

-Recently we finished construction of the Left MK VI Shoulder and Bicep armor, and work on the Right Shoulder has begun. There are no other major updates to announce at this time other than that we hope to begin work on the under suit by the end of the week and work on the internal cooling system by the end of August.

Also it is exiting to see the forum come back to life in such an amazing way, it is great to see everyone again.

Attached below are images of the MK VI Shoulder and the Fotus Forearms... they work well together.

looking good Prime. the forearm and the shoulder/bicep piece certainly do have flow.
 
//Incoming Update...

//Beginning Message...

= Construction of both shoulder and Bicep pieces is completed as is the work on the lower back/Butt piece. Sadly there has been some slight issues with the scaling of the Thigh pieces they came out a little small, however they have been rescaled and are off to the side for now; in light of the issue work on the shins has commenced in order to determine if further rescaling is required. Finally, last night a the long awaited foam requisition was completed so work on the Under-Suit can now begin.

- Progress has been rather slow these past few days however he have finally finished the Right Leg. After many variations in sizing they were finally locked in and fully made, currently work on the Left leg has been started and the Torso is getting ready to print.

Integrated systems for cooling are still being brainstormed but as the under-suit gets closer to being patterned and locked in the system can be further explored, the plan is to use a hybrid of 2-3 patterns already released on the 405th with slight modifications... work on the final design is still in-progress.

Finally the request for the M247 HMG has been approved and recovered files from an old HDD has yielded models for the requested special weapon. Work will soon commence on this project.


Attached below are photos depicting the Right Over-Locking Legs and Lower Back plate.

Finlay after a long tome we have an update, the entire lower body is complete. Work has now begun on the undersuit, Right now a pattern is being cut and put together to give an idea of what is needed. At this time with the start of the University and a new job updates may become less frequent but work will get done.


Attached are photos of the lower body.

= not much work has been made on the suit however the under suit has been started. The Torso section has been printed and is ready for assembly, so far I have the lower portion of the front torso 'apron' as some call it finished. Using some ideas that EVAkura created the foam was cut out then sanded to fit to together better and using 120grit paper the edges where beveled and rounded, then on the back elastic to hold everything together.

If any of the foam masters have any pointers then please feel free to critique the work, that way the suit can be improved.

= @KiNg_Of_Gondor12, thank you for the compliment on the armor, after the main armor pieces are finished and the under-armor is adjusted we do plan on adding details.

In alignment with that the torso of the Under-Armor is assembled. After printing our a template of the under-suit I proceeded to cut it into individual pieces before sanding them to get a slightly beveled edge. Most of the suit is held together by elastic where some pieced are glued together. The suit cam out much better than I had expected although I fear I must redo some pieces in-order for them to fit better. Now I have begin work on the actual torso armor although between work and school it is hard to find time to work on my armor but I hope to finish it soon.

And systems are green across the board.

Hello, it has been a wile but many issues have kept this project in limbo much longer that I would have liked. Now, however, we are starting to move again.

Recently I began work on hardening and resining the Helmet and shoulder guards, and I just recently finished the helmet. Later tonight I plan on carving out the visor so ii can set up for paint and also prep the actual visor for use, plan is to hopefully use plexi-glass along with tint to make it one way, but worse case scenario is we will just use the tint. I will pick up some Primer and some Bondo soon in order to smooth the helmet and prep it for paint and electronics. The Shoulder Guards are up next for hardening, unfortunately I ran out of materials se we may have to wait a week or two for the next step.


Finally the Torso armor is now under construction, and the undersuit is still in limbo as I work out some kinks in the design.
