First {Halo} build - Spartan (TV series)

[SgtSaint]

Another day... Another few cm of progress.

 

[DeltaAlphaZulu]

I guess with the printer tied up for 6 days I can catch up on painting and start sewing.

That is an insanely fast print speed for a part that size, at least for what my settings are. What are your print settings to get a print that fast and do you have any issues from that speed?

 

[SgtSaint]

Thought I'd do something different. Removing the supports from the one-part chest.
Err... The video is 85mb... So... YouTube.

there is just something about the removal of supports that makes me smile lol. great job on the chest print

 

[IrrationalSound]

lookin' good!

 

[SgtSaint]

Abs plate for below the chest printed.
After two months finally getting this new printer dialed in. Pickiest printer I've ever owned, but the size:$ value made it so attractive.

 

[SgtSaint]

Well... My freight from America won't be here in time for the convention, so have to re-print my helmet.
Time to test the new printer. Throwing caution to the wind, I did exposure tests then threw on this half-a-helmet.

 

[SgtSaint]

With half the helmet prepped, and the other half on the printer... Time to starting color planning.
{Still doing the copper theme shown earlier in this thread. Just want to plan where and how much.}

Status check: 18oct2022​

I'm at that point where I finally need to put it all in the same room. Until know its been some in the living room, some in the print shop, some on a bench {...} Its time to get it all in one place, take a look, and make a punch list.

Overview - Yep... It really is a tailored one-man Armored Personnel Carrier.
Armor - In progress
Under suit - Barely started.

Punch list:​

 

[marinesniper]

i really like the way you have your punch list it does help with knowing what needs done still. this color like i said before i love the color. this is going to be awesome when its done, remember to give us some all done pictures

Thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement.

Yesterday was mostly helmet day. Today it will get masked and painted.

Used the next part to trial the color scheme

 

[PlanetAlexander]

I'm curious as to why you use tack when assembling the helmet?

 

[FalseShepherd]

This helmet is going to look so damn cool! I'm so excited.

I am also curious about the tack. What's your process?
