Foam DEFENDER/ATHLON build progress

[H5iskindaundr8d]

Hey guys, H5 here. In hopes of join you guys at worlds in 2026 or dragoncon next year, I’ve started my spartan 4 build. Currently working on the chest piece out of Eva Foam. Below is my progress.

UPDATE BUILD PIC:

UPDATE: Hey guys it’s been a bit, I got down to the base of the chest piece and currently working on getting the thrusters and details in.

(I’m using the mk7 helmet as a reference size to the Athlon)
UPDATE: DEFENDER chestpiece complete and ready for painting.

With the chestpiece out of the way, I’ve now started on the helmet:

Weeks later of building and I’ve finished my base build

I’ve started painting and will post the picture once the painting is finished.

It’s been a while since I’ve done much here but just wanted to the progress

I completely butchered the build forum formula but whatever . I’ll post build completion pictures. Below are the foam Defender shoulders

The thread titles suggest this is a progress update on a build thread you already started.

FYI: Here we like to keep an entire build in a single thread. This way everyone watching your build can subscribe to just the one thread and get notified of your progress updates, make comment, and it all stays in order. So much easier than trying to track 20 threads of one update each for a single build.
