Well hello and a good morning to all of my fellow Midwesterners!
I've trolled this site for years, but only today decided to join. Oops. (sorry about that.)
I decided to join though because I could really use the help and community support as I embark on my first build!
I've been playing with the idea of doing a Chief build for years, and as my username suggests, I really really love him. However, I'm a 5' 2", 117 lbs. little nothin' of a girl. Not exactly 7'1" Spartan-II material. (but I am good USAF material, apparently.) Ultimately, I would love to do a Halo 4 Chief build. As much as I hated that armor at first, it grew on me to the point where it's now my favorite. But I'm worried about how it would look on me considering my tinyness. Then, for the sake of accuracy in size and height, I thought about not doing a Chief build, and instead, doing a build of my Spartan-III from Reach. I'm leaning more towards her currently because...well...I based her armor on my life and work, and I love her look overall.
My issue is that I haven't been able to find all the necessary pepakura files for her unique armor pieces. Perhaps they exist and I'm too stupid to find them (which is entirely possible), or they just don't exist.
As much as I love John (which is to Sanghelios and back a thousand times) and would love to be the Master Chief, I...well....am small.
I'd love any feedback or advice on how to pick what armor to make. My brother and dad have years of experience in automotives, carpentry, and general fabricating and manufacturing, my brother especially has a talent for fiberglass and bondo work; my mom even was a seamstress, so any sewing I would have to do for an undersuit wouldn't be an issue. So it's not really a matter of which armor would be easier or which is too complex for a first build, it's just me being indecisive, like always!
I can't wait to take this Great Journey with the wonderful 405th community!
Hugs and plasma cannons,
Mrs. Chief
