Hey so I am finally going to finish a suit and it is going to be a Custom Reach MM build. The sholders are going to be interchangable but the main ones are going to be ODST and Recon So far I have got the Helmet, Biceps, and Forearms Done. And if anything doesn’t look right please tell me so I can fix it.

Great pep work man! keep up the good work!

And don't worry too much about the bicep i find that just taking a step back from a pep piece for a bit then coming back later will give you a new perspective on the piece that will probable solve your problem!

Cheers, keep on fighting spartan!!
 
Well i finished rondoing my helmet and i have to say i realy like this method And I also spray painted the inside black someone told me it is a good idea to do that if you want to install LED's

looking good so far. When you move onto Bondo, make sure to work your way up. Start on the bottom lip then go up. It will increse the streangth of the helm as you go on. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the tip i did not know that, anyway I have had to restart my chest piece due to the fact that I let it sit for so long in my closet. I hope to have new pics up soon

I Think the chest warped way out of shape so I am thinkning of try foam for the chect and lower body (Belt Shin exe) and if any one had Tutorials or tips for it that would be great it is my first attempt and foam
 
A little tip with the bondo, it looks like you're using too much at once. Work in smaller sections with less bondo. You only need to mix up about 2 - 3 spoon-fulls at a time, no need for any more in one batch. This should cut down the amount of sanding you need to do.

Looks like it's going well though, your pepping skill is good and the product looks great so far.

Yes, thin layers work much better. You shouldn't be getting the pock marks from what looks like partly cured bondo. With bondo, less really is more.... Less sanding, more time for details :D But, the helmet does look pretty good.
 
looking very nice so far! trust me I no exactly how much of a pain bondo is but sometimes it is worth the effort.

Good luck I can't wait to see more!
 
Okay so i Got a lot done this week i finished my forearmes (PEP) and my TACPAD along with both Handplates here are the Pic's
