Does anyone have/know where to get the back pieces?

[tsau mia]

I'm looking for these pieces here:

The pink outline is the armor ability, and the green outline is some sort of spine protection. I've looked around and searched through the pep files and I can't seem to find it. It's pretty much the only two pieces that I don't have yet.
Thanks!

And as far as I recall the spine hasn't been modeled yet, though I could be wrong.

I was looking for the AA Pep file since I remember seeing it on hear a few weeks ago, but Ruze beat me to it.

Regarding the spine pieces, since they don't seem to have been modeled yet, I suppose you could scratch build them our of foam, wood, etc. At least that's what I would do.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Thank you for the direction to the thread! There's so many pages on there, and I just assumed that it was all in the front area. Thank you!

I may mold the spine plates, since they seem to be rounded like chain link or large "D" rings.

I won't get a chance to do any modeling until tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday, but I could crank those out real quick if you want.
I think I actually meant to months ago and forgot. I have the reference for it, just never did it.

That would be absurdly awesome! They shouldn't take too long since they're pretty simple. But thank you for doing it! I look forward to seeing them!

Thanks for posting this Ruze789. There's an unfold by Sithslayer78 on the next page of that thread (http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/24086-*The-Official*-Halo-Reach-Pepakura-Files-Thread?p=470280#post470280). Checking out the unfold, Sithslayer78 must be a tetris pro because he's utilized almost every square cm of the two page unfold.

no kidding I did a double take after printing it, wasn't where some of the parts ended and others began. Fun model though, its sitting in my to-do pile right under the helmet i'm working on.
@ruze
Me love you long time if you make a model for the spine. that would save me a lot of time trying to drudge up ref, pics and cardboard

You can also look into motorcycle racer/motocross back brace/protection pads. they are pretty close the shape.

they come in all types of shapes

example:

This is the same as the above but comes with a jacket-thing it attaches to for the same price.

you'll have to go to the T-Motorsports site to get it, and check your measurements to get the correct size.

Also BrandonMclain sculpted and molded one of these, you might want to him a PM.

I don't know that I'll be able to finish this today since I'm leaving the office shortly to work on the road...
Started this morning, will finish this weekend if not today.

 

[Ruze789]

All done, not yet unfolded. I made the backs of the pieces a solid backing, so there's no messing around with supports or anything.
If anyone would care to unfold it would be appreciated.

thanks Ruze!! I'll try my hand at an unfold!

 

[Carpathia]

I'm on it...

Update: Done! It's not the most efficient layout since I assume that people will need to resize them depending on their size. Right now it's unfolded with a height of 30cm. Great modeling as always, Ruze. Enjoy!
