Foam Dire's Reach Build -DNF-Sorry

[Dire]

Hello all, so I have built but never finished a Halo Reach Spartan III, I want to change that, and be done by July for the build, and August for the paint, and Dragon Con in September(duh).

So would be cool to reach T3(get it, reach? Ya know Halo Reach). So I am starting on my undersuit, which I will mimic WandererTJ, I spoke to him in March about his undersuit, so I will use 1/2 inch Upholstery Foam, should be pretty straight forward, I picked up two rolls today, at a price I don't like(inflation man), so I will spend the rest of the week doing that!

Wish me luck in actually finishing this, later guys!

P.S. I will upload some pics of my reference pics later on, oh and I will be using my beautiful Commando bucket from my ONI Operative build.

"Reserved" Because I'm selfish AF.

I didn't like the price of upholstery foam myself, and I bought all mine several years ago!

Excited to see how this build goes!

Hey, thanks for the files by the way.

Morning, I made a thing, and took alot of pictures like alot, I will call it undersuit torso thing, also it fits, surprisingly after just one try(hhahahaHHhahaha joking, like 5 tries man, but I did it.) Anyway so guess I will just post all the pics on this post or split them up, and make my thread much larger, you know, impress the ladies.

 

[Dire]

So when you glue all of these together you will get a flexable undersuit torso thingy.

 

[Dire]

And this is what a squishy undersuit torso thing looks like all glued (painstakingly) up.

Anyway I suppose I will do the next undersuit piece, figure I do all my undersuit first and then scale my armor accordingly (duh, anyobe could have guessed that.).

 

[Dire]

I made another thing for my undersuit, but surprise,before I went any further, does not fit, but looks awesome so going to post it anyway.

Anyway, going to do some paper stuff before I use my upholstery foam, call me cheap if you want

Good luck and may the foam gods smile upon you

Foam gods, they can be some cruel gods, but thanks sire

Alright after several failures of a scale, this is really hard for me to scale for some reason, I did it, I got my scale down just forgot to take some pics, I'll do that later

 

[Dire]

Alright, got most of the undersuit thigh bits done, just got to glue the bits to be one whole piece, and add the necessary details for T3ness.



And a tribute to the decals one of you guys made, dunno who.

And when I get off today, I'll attach it all together and get working on these details

Anyway, until my next update, Happy Holidays everyone!

Love the effort you're putting into the undersuit! Sorry if I missed it, but what do you plan to cover/wrap it with?

Not sure if your country has it, but a sprayable rubber called Flex Seal, just a couple of lights coats and sand the parts thats suppose to be smooth, well smooth,

 

[Dire]

Alright, got the lower undersuit assembled, its pretty.

Next will be fancy details, just got to draw and fail, draw and fail, draw, fail and then it should be done

 

[Dire]

Another pick but with the torso bit and lower bit.

 

[Dire]

Alright I tried free handing the booty details but failed, then I remembered I still have the templates I cut out and just drew the design on that, worked freaking awesomely.

So decided to do raised which to me is more accurate, so drawing up that now.

 

[Dire]

And got some foamies cut out, and glued up to the booty.


And time for the beauty shot, still working on the line bits of the booty.
Also NSFW

Anyway, working on some lines now.

 

[Dire]

Alright got the lines on now and its looking T3 ready.

Next up I will build the thighs, I need those to finiah up "shorts" with the little circle detail and to get my knee part of the undersuit built.
Anyway, hope you guys had a good xmas!

Sooooo my sister viciously pointed out those lines are suppose to be slanted and not horizontal, and I was like "..............f@#$"
So I carefully peeled those lines off and currently making some new lines
