So it seems placing a build thread up for everyone to see might be the motivation I need to get this project finished. Let's hope it actually maintains regular progress...
Long story short, I've finished a TK in the 501st before, but always wanted to have a Spartan suit. Given my dwarf stature compared to a regular Spartan II, I thought an ODST would be more realistic. After working on the SB ODST helmet, I hated the paint scheme and am starting over with that project.
While working on the ODST, I gave pepakura a shot and missed the mark continually. Although helmets seem to be one of the toughest to pep on the first attempt (Halo 3 Rogue), I gave it two shots and scaled incorrectly both times. Scrapped the project.
Now decided to stick with a cannon character that isn't as "vertically demanding" as a Spartan II. Noble Six. Default armor scheme/colors.
Already purchased a bucket. Not attacking the helmet pep beast again.
That's the physical progress I've made so far. Looking to purchase the EVA from the local Harbor Freight. Have the glue gun/sticks, knife/blades, and patterns. Going to double-check that the hot glue is compatible with the gun and hopefully are both high temp. Getting thinner foam when necessary.
So far so good?
