I may make an HD version down the road that has all the missing detail in this one like the vents in the cheeks and the re-breathers and smooth out the model some. It'll be such a pain to pep but so pretty to look at like the H3 CQB by L3X (I wonder what software he uses)

if you made the model with vents in it, it would probably get in the way, sincce most use the vaccuum tubes, so idk. but how did you get the mesh to cooperate in order to make the indentures? like I said previously, I tried modifying a H3 CQB and all I ended up with was a sad excuse for a 3D model. lol

 

[GothX]

Oh, I tried modding an H3 one too at first and it was a pain so I just made this one from scratch. Took like a dozen screen caps and modeled it poly by poly. Still not as good at it as I would like to be but then again the last time I modeled anything from scratch was 1999 when I use to make mods for games like Counter strike and Need 4 Speed... Yeah I'm an antique lol.

haha oldie goldie huh? lol great job for poly by poly.

So once again in the spirit of experimentation and my refusal to pep another torso im experimenting with yet another technique. I'm using thermo molded PVC foam sheets yo make my next torso. Early trials look promising but I'm forbidden from spending more money on supplies until after Anime Boston in April. We should have some spare cash after the con from our artist table anyways so this summer we should have some awesome progress. I'm also drawing up plans what will alloy me to swap out shoulder and chest attachments as I get bored of them, lol.

I finished the pep build on the helmet I designed... to any one else trying to make one, I'm sorry lol. I ddn't realize how tough some of these parts would be to build.

 

[SpartanT117]

Spot on man!!! love the design!!! doesn't look as complicated as my hazop though.

mostly its the small parts on the forehead and cheeks where a pain but I bet the hazop is alot tougher. But unfortunately it's not spot on. The chin is too wide so im gonna cut it and make it about 1/2" to 3/4" narrower... I'm a little ocd for details. I blame my job.

haha yea, the Hazop was a pain to pep. lol but hey, makin that file has to give you a boost of self fulfillment, being it's the FIRST reach CQB out there. lol even iff you're too OCD with the details. lol

Looks great! Any advice on where to get good visors and also any tips for making it fit in your helmet?

im using Blackula's tutorial for mounting it and the visor I got is an HJC HJ-11 motorcycle visor I got on eBay for less then $30. They come in chrome, blue, smoke(black), and gold so all your reach colors are covered.

yeah, though im already working on corrections for V3 . I think im also gonna design a reach recon and hazop shoulder since I can't seem to find models of those and I've seen people ask for them on the modeling and pep request threads.

 

[GothX]

Oh and a reach security helmet cause I want one SOOOO bad

 

[BLACKULA727]
