Fox's Halo 4 Chief build (pepakura/some foam)

[AI Blue Fox]

Well, it is that time again. PAX East is approaching, and being one of the lucky few to get a 3 day pass has given me enough morale to start a new build. Now I know I don't exactly have the greatest track record when it comes to completed builds, but this is by far the farthest I think Ive gotten without money or time being an issue. What I have so far(sorry for bluriness my "HD" camera suddenly hates focusing):
Helmet (some slight warping, and it was difficult to build. if i cant fix it then i'll build a different one)

Forearms:

Shoulders (foam, they will look better once attached to bicep and tricep)

COD:

Thigh:

Shins and knees:

FEETS:

will start work on the other thigh, the buttock, bicep/tricep, and the torso soon.
expect updates by end of week.

Looking good so far. I know its early to ask but what color scheme are you going to use. Which boot file are you using?

 

[AI Blue Fox]

The boot file was the one from the 405th database: http://www.4shared.com/folder/CCB_6QwQ/405th_Pepakura_Database.html. if you make it i suggest upscaling it a bit. it will work for me but its slightly smaller then the size in the game. I want to try and get that weathered green look like chief has in the epilogue in that scene walking to S-deck: 0:46 - 1:06

Update: just finished left thigh a butt piece. all thats left is torso then i can start resining. (fixed focus problems)

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Looking good! Can't wait to see it all finished!

 

[Alfrey515]

this is looking great! keep up the good work!!

I hope you can fix the warping. Good luck fox it looks great so far.

 

[AI Blue Fox]

thanks. Shouldn't be too much, just some strategically placed Popsicle sticks.

 

[Exaldear]

It looks as if the piece just over the visor (I guess it is a cowl) is rising up as well, or is this just because of how you are holding it.

Wow man.. great patience so far with the pep files. I started on the H4 model shortly before the release (in hopes to wear it at launch) and soon realized how time consuming it was and went with the H3 model instead. Keep it up!

 

[AI Blue Fox]

reah its actually quite simple, just lots of sharp bends and tricky glue spots. the helmet was the worst. If i had the money i porobably would have bought a cast. the torso is nothing in comparision. I'll post an update tommorow.

Looks great.

 

[AI Blue Fox]

UPDATE: finally done pep stage! gonna clean out the shed next weekend and turn on some portable heaters to start resining!

had to add supports to the sides so they didnt bend

 

[AI Blue Fox]

Just put the first coat of resin on the right hip. Since its pretty cold out it will take an extra hour or two to cure in my slightly heated shed workspace. I will try to get out there earlier to do a thick inside coat. and possibly start a second piece. Will post pics ASAP

 

[AI Blue Fox]

Resined so far:
both hips (both sides)
shins (outside)
knees and shin plates (both dies)
Chest (outside)
Butt plate (1/2 outside)

Awesome build hopefully it turns out nice!

 

[C8lyn]

[AI Blue Fox]
