Another MKVI Build! (NotleyM)

[NotleyM]

Hey everyone!

I've been slowly building my Master Cheif suit and thought I'd post my progress so far!

I know a lot of people say it's bad luck to start on the helmet, but I started with that anyway! Here are my results for my first pep build:

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It feels a little big at the moment, but once its rondo'd and has padding inside it should be spot on! Annoyingly, I can't start resining it yet as it's way too cold and damp in the UK, I need to wait for warmer weather!

To keep the ball rolling I started on the chest piece. However I think I've made it way too big as you can see from the picture:

I think I built it 52cm wide and think I should of gone for 42cm or so. The size I have at the moment, my arms foul the side of the armour when I lift them up, so it will be even worse when I build the bicep parts! What do you guys think? Is the chest way to big?

Quite possibly, yeah. But you should finish pepping it anyway. If you plan on having any type of padded undersuit (like maybe a pressure suit) it might take up a good amout of room and the chest might not be so bad. And if it comes out too big even for that, then it's just good practice.

Rex out.

dang everybody is better at pepping than I...i screwed up the little nose piece. Good looking pep dude. I agree with rex on the size for what its worth. Good luck dude

Thnaks for the comments guys, I'll finish this pep off then move onto the others, if the chest ends up being too big, I'll start another one! As Rex said it all makes good practice!

The chest piece does indeed look too big. I wouldn't bother finishing it. You can get Pep practice working on other, simpler pieces like arm or leg pieces. Not that you seem to need it; your Pep skills look very nice. The helmet came out really good. Keep up the great work and I'm sure you'll end up with a great suit.

PS: Just a tiny suggestion, I would edit the title of your thread to include your screename so to differentiate it from the other Mark VI threads with generic titles.

I have to agree with Spitfire, your chest piece is looking rather big, if you finish it at that size and decide to wear it, it will hinder your arm movement I would scale it down some rather than going thru all the trouble to pep it out and only to do it over again, this happened to me so I learned from experiance

Looks good. Hope it turns out okay!

This is going to sound daft, but how do I edit the thread title?

Go the first post of the thread, click on the "Edit Post" button at the bottom, then click "Go Advanced" and you should be able to change the title of the thread.
