Hey 405th.
I have come to the conclusion to start a Recruit trooper suit. You all know what I mean, the ones that are black and orange that are usually in the Spartan Ops missions. I think it would look really cool and go nice with my Battle Rifle casts. Which I'm selling so PM me a price if interested. Also I'm gonna go original and use the blue visor like on the game. I've also got like 5 more sheets of PETG plastic so I'm probably going to get the visor templates, trace them out, and glue them together on the inside. And I'm gonna do the same technique i did for my silver visor on my pilot, but its gonna be metallic blue. I have all of the armor, but the most important part. The torso. But I do have the Warrior template, but not the recruit, if anyone has the Recruit torso foam template, PLEASE let me have it because I hate going freehand. I also need to get ink for my printer so the work will be delayed for a while until I get it. Ive got a sharp brand new knife and more eva foam sheets (8). Well, See you later until I get some progression done on either the suit or the BR.
 
I only found 2 picture of it to prove my point of what I'm talking about

UPDATE
Today i got ink for my printer, but then I realized that i had a dino for a printer, so I bought a brand spanking new printer which conviently can print card stock, which i couldn't do before! so its a win win situation, BTW i just printed the recruit wrists and many more foam templated to come. I'll probably get the card stock tomorrow for the helmet. but now im super pumped to do this helmet at home for once because i had to go to staples and have them copy the pages. it wasn't costly, but the gas was. haha I'll probably get some progression pictures up tomorrow on the foam. See you all tomorrow
 
Looks like a great idea, I guess it's like the "Noble 6" of H4 lol. Can't wait to see more!

Btw, if you want to use pep files for foam, and the foam unfold hasn't been made yet, just nodufy the file yourself. I hate using someone else's foam unfolds, I always modify the file myself.
 
So you're going to try a foam helmet? Great :) we've only seen a few of those so far, but there's a lot of potential in them...

no, no, im using pepakura for the helmet and foam for hopefully the rest. but if i dont have a foam template for something, my last resort is pepakura

oh wow, i never thought of that, I'll take it into consideration
 
awesome idea ReconSpartan, it will look awesome and i can help you as far as foam templates go, a couple of the parts your gonna make i already have my foam edits. (if you need them let me know, most of them are in the second post in the my spartan IV thread.)

PS i subbed ;D
 
okay, i will be done and shall upload it in about a day or 2.
it's the same thigh armor i am using with my spartan IV foam build, so on the second post on my thread i will have links to both left and right thighs, just to save everyone else the trouble.

CrazyDav0 :D
 
UPDATE
I finished the helmet, it didn't take that long. I started on Saturday and ended on Tuesday :) Even though Comic Con 2013 is in October, I still wanna take my time on this build unlike my last suit that I literally finished 1 hour before the midnight release. And since its the end of January, its ALWAYS COLD!! I'm not sure if the cold and the wind will help me with resining and all that. Anyways, PICTURE TIME!

Hey everyone,
I didn't get anything really much done because I was working on another helmet in another thread... (H4 scout) But for this one I just had the crazy idea to do and just free-ball it from scratch and only 3 references, but it's the shoulder holder for the recruit, like the bass of it.

Hey everyone, I got a lot done in about 2 days. I resined the helmet as well as fiber glassing it on the inside, and started the bondo stage. I plan on working on it tomorrow as well, but its gonna be mostly on the bondo because I've got nothing else to do to the helmet. Hope you likes it. :D Sorry, no pics of resin and fiberglass stage, because we all know what it looks like, like everyone else'.

Not entirely sure that this is the correct place for this build.From my understanding it is for under armor or "soft armor" not for fiber glass and bondo or "hard armor".
 
Let me correct myself,I now now that it is eva foam,however it is not an under armor build.You should have put it in the noob or creation fourm instead.
 
Hey everyone, sorry for not posting any updates, but I got a lot done. I bondo'd a little bit more, applied some spot putty, and installed the visor. I worked on a calf last night I finished it, and saw that... IT DOESN'T EXIST! I also free handed the shoulders. The recruit, and whatever that other shoulder is for Thorne, that shoulder doesn't exist in the game either. I also free handed majestic's emblem.Pics later on the calf, but for now, here's the rest of the progress so far
