BioDelta's Halo reach build (pic heavy)

[BioDelta]

So im finally back form all that **** with the hosptial. I had to clear my work space and room.For those who were following my zaku build i'll still be makeing the zaku.Only the work will go little by little.It's due mostly to the fact that I miss the deadline for that build, cause of the hospital thing.So im moveing on to my next build. Witchis my halo reach spartan armor. I dont have the the pc version of reach .So i took some screen shots of my X-box version. I've also seen alot of nerf mod's lurking around. So I figure I'll join the ban wagon on that.Iv'e had a recon sitting in my room for like forever.From my steam punk day's. So im going to mod it to the Assault rifle.

Here's the pic's of my armor im going to build
Yes i know that the pictures are sideways. I'll fix that later r_r.

Alright so what i want to do first is pep everything out. Thats mostly cause im broke like everone else.XD.At the momnet im doing my helmet. Then from there all make the odst sholders he pictures down below are what Iv'e done so far.

Here are shot of the recon allready spray painted.The only problem is that I cantmake it look to real.Anime expo and Anime la have very strict rules about that.So with that said im going to make it a tint green. That way I can still have it with me.I can allways change the color on it later.

Update 5/23/2011

So iv'e done some more of the helmet. I now have it half way done XD. There was a problem thou, I seemed to have made it with a hole T_T. >..< On top of that I todaly did the topof the helmet all wrong!!! I just notice it too. Im so hateing on my self right now. But it still looks good to me.Also im thinking that i can add the detail in the bondo process. When you bondo sand and bondo. I also just found out that its a High def pep file. >..< Thanks to my friend arron for giveing me a very hard pep file to do when its my first time.
Well in any case, guys tell me what i can do to fix this. Or tell me your input on how it looks.

<.<
>.>
yes thats a sushi plushi.

Ok so heres the hole

Now i sort of fix it my putting a small peace of paper there

Looks liked the paper in the hole trick worked, If this is your first pep, finish this helmet then repep it again, and your next one will turn out alot better, you now know what to do to avoid the mistakes, keep it up you'll see its alot easier to build the second pep helmet once you get the hang of it

Thanks for the input on the helmet. Most likely i'll make another helmet. I did want to do two versons. I'll make this one the helmet with the bullet in it for the last mission lol.But i'll finish the sholders and stuff first

Good work so far. On my build I tried to work on the easiest peps first and build on my skills as I went. I'm now working on the last piece of the peps, the helmet, UGH.

update 5/26/2011 almost

So the helmet is almost done. I know that i screw up on some parts. Im not sure if i will scrap it though.Infact i might keep going with it. I want to mod the helmet on the bottom. I found that the scaleing for the helmet on the bottom was a little off. Cause of that i'll add extra fold to the bottom.This also adds more form to the helmet its self.That way i have more space to work with.Other then that part it's, almost done.Then next thing I'm thinking of doing will be the forarms.There a little bit easyer.Or so it looks in the pep viewer.

(Alright in the recap) Im going to make an extra part for the botom of the helmet to give me more space. Mosty for wires and support.

After that it will be ready for stage two of the helmet.Witch is the top

Also the nerf gun dryed very well so all share how it looks.

Yet another update XD

Well It's been a week and two days since i've updated this tread. I haven't been able to do much. But I have rip out the left side of the helmet. I decided to replace it with i diffrent side. I sort of jimmy rig it with left over paper.I have to make the lines since i ran out of ink and im flat broke.I hope you all like it.I think it looks great XD. But to be better at this I need feed back from the 405th. Iv'e Also started te shell for te gun.

Hey, looking pretty good. What's the update with the MA37 pep?
You're pepping looks pretty good, although in some places it looks a little warped. When I'm building my pep I like to line my lines (I rule over them in red or black pen, depending on the type of fold) to ensure a cleaner fold and then I took a leaf out of CoolC's book and look at the 3D model when building to see what needs to be folded and what doesn't. I think there was a tutorial on the site somewhere for the lines and if you do a search for "ODST for my kids" you'll find CoolC's thread where he explains a little about how he peps, which he does a darn good job of by the way.
Do you have a deadline? Or are you just working on it until you finish it?

Good luck, Squish
