Halo 3 First Build!

[lizerb]

Hey guys so I am attempting to build my H3 spartan, it is my first build ever so don't expect some legendary work. Although I do want it to be a great first suit. I started pepping 08/23/13 and have the forearms and shoulders glassed. Ideally I would like to have most of it completed before Halloween but with my college classes, work, and girlfriend taking up my time it is very unlikely. Anyways my first failing of the build so far is that I scaled wrong on my hayabusa chest, I scaled for height and not width. Luckily I am not that far into it I could of course use some advice so if any of you guys would like to give me some that would be great!

P.S. Don't expect an update every week sometimes I forget to update, so please excuse me.








As of 9/8/13
1.I have shoulders, forearms resined and glassed.
2.Also screwed up on scaling of chest, will reprint tomorrow.

9/23/13
1. Finished pepping of the hayabusa chestpiece, just gotta glue the external parts on.

10/4/13
Chest piece is a third of the way clothed, started resining cod piece and left thigh.
halfway through pepping the right thigh.

Here is all the armor so far!

Hayabusa chest without the V part

Cod Piece

Security Shoulder

Forearm


So thats what I have so far, I have a little less than a month to try and get as much done as I can for Halloween. I think I will start Bondoing today after work(10/4/13).

Well guys tell me what you think of it so far!

The best advice I can give you is: Take your time. I know you want it done by Halloween but trust me, when I was making my first suit I rushed on a lot of my parts in order to have them done by the Halloween of that year; and now when I look at them I think "Man, if I wouldn't have rushed...". If you're gonna spend your time, money, and effort on something, might as well do it right.

Also, I noticed you live an hour south of me. Hello, neighbor!

By Halloween is posable if you put the effort in to it but if you don't finish in time you still have a kick ass armor set
