Looking good so far! Yeah, I have wanted to see someone tackle this thing for a while now. Most people have moved on to the newer game model variants, and the H3 MK VI doesn't get as much love anymore. I'm also glad you feel that the build difficulty wasn't too high. Increasing the face count...
My Spartan ID isn't verified yet, but I put my order in anyways. My information is:
S-028: Matt (SirPalesALot) | Spartan-II Class-I || Red Team Beta | Rank: Intelligence Specialist || Alabama
Large short sleeve men's t-shirt.
Do you know how the sizes on these shirts run? Are the larges...
I might have to change the rank around a little bit, but this is what I want to use for mine.

If you need a filler that can withstand the powder coating process this might work. It might be a little expensive if you cannot buy it locally, but it would probably be cheaper than an automotive paint job.

If you have to restart it you might as well get the newest file.
I'm in the same boat on this. You can use the models to make 3D printable versions if you want, but it's not something I really want to...

I don't plan to make any of the files smoother than they already are. I could export the files to .STL like the antecubital detail, but they will not be nearly as smooth as that model. A lot of time is going...

Most cans of resin come with a plastic cover on top. Resin usually doesn't stick to that. Any plastic that is close to that should do the job. I actually have a few of those caps. I have a line drawn on...
I wasn't going to jump into this topic, but this bugs me to no end. The United States isn't a democracy, it is a republic. Some things might resemble a democracy more these days, but that still isn't really the point. I would much rather see this club go the route of republic instead of...
Sketchup isn't bad for creating pep models, but it does need a little bit of help from Blender.
If you plan to use Sketchup to model Pepakura files I suggest getting some ruby scripts to help you out. Sketchup is pretty basic, but there are plenty of users who have created add on tools to...

Yeah, we kind of nit pick at some of the smallest things, but the models turn out better because of that. The shoulder looks really good. I'm glad the beveled edge was added to the bottom of the shoulder...

That image lol. Another armor piece done, and this time it didn't take nearly as long.
This is where the two pieces come together. I removed the support bars so it's much easier to see.
