Continuing my trend of being unable to finish things satisfactorily the firs time, here are some pictures of the nearly perfect forearms! Sorry for the photo quality, iPhone is on the fringe of death. Anyway, I've got cutting to do!

Ugh, disaster! After spending the last three days painstakingly working on the forearms, I've started to assemble them only to discover they're way too large! The test pieces I printed had the perfect length, but having long limbs means there's a solid two centimetres gap between my arm and...

Hey all! Small update; got the biceps finished, I'll post a photo of them when I have them attached to the shoulders. Big order of plastidip incoming too! I'm also looking around for painting techniques to achieve the subtle scratching that we see ingame on the spartan armour. So far the...

Finished them up today! Small revelation which will help a lot with the rest of the suit; I discovered a way to make crisp neat lines without having to scalpel out 45 degree valleys. I figure it's probably common knowledge here, but by cutting 2-3 mil deep and then exposing the surface of the...

Hey all! After a long break from my original build, and having finally finished (mostly) my Bradley ODST, I've decided to start my Chief in earnest, and hopefully do him the justice he deserves! Without further ado so basic and uninspired pictures! I'm starting with the arms as thanks to...

Hi all! I'm in the process of putting together a H4 chief torso, using EVA as the base. Unfortunately, I've run into a bit of an issue with the small centre neck piece at the front (currently on my phone so can't share a photo). It's the small piece that sits above the second little gap...

Hey man, inspiring build! Would you mind sharing which files you used for your shins and thighs? You've inspired me to start my own Chief!

Thank you so much! Just finished one of them, I've been following all your guides and walkthroughs and building all the pieces, and my skill with foam has skyrocketed! Time to tackle the Halo 4 Chief! Feel like making a guide for a foam Chief torso?.. :P

Hey all, just curious as to whether a Recruit shoulder/bicep file existed? I'm going to attempt a Thorne build but can't find the relevant shoulder piece. Any help would be great, thanks.

Today I worked on the helmet some more, starting filling in the little nicks, scrapes and imperfections, as well as reworking the visor area that was imperfect due to the butchering I inflicted on it with the dremel! Can't wait to get a coat of primer on it, once I do, and get rid of any...

Today I worked on the helmet and a little bit of one of the thighs, the first coat of poorly mixed bondo really made things, (And will no doubt continue to make things), difficult, however I slowly began sanding away at the almost as poorly applied second coat. In a bit of a desperate move to...

Attempted to start bondo work on the helmet; but had been watching too many American How-To's, in which the hardener you use is apparently a lot more powerful than the stuff we have over here! Alas, the top half of my helmet was gooped. Today I scraped it all off, and before attempting to...

So today I cut my Troopers eyes out and he got a mad rash! Also; I've been having camera issues, some are webcam, some are phone, but I've realised I have a perfectly good iPad laying around, which makes photos a loooot easier!

Hey all! I recently purchased a Havoc Commando kit cast in ABS plastic by the wonderful TZA, and today I got a package! It contained pure happiness! In addition to my Spartan, I'll be working on this, and this thread will track my progress!

STOMPING TIME. I'm opting to go with pep boots over foam boots simply because I can't foam, I don't know how, it doesn't work for me, I just can't. I have a few ideas in mind about how I'm going to make them rigid, but also quite pliable in terms of movement. Everything is glassed, except...
