Foam Halo Reach Commission build

[Harri51]

Okay, I've been wanting to post this for a while so here it is. I was approached in building a reach armor for Deadman627. I've been working on it and life really slowed me down. But, I am currently at the waist and I'll post that soon; enjoy the pics. I can honestly see why everyone loves to make reach armor. These suits are wicked cool!

The thing is he is half my size so, me fitting in his suit is kinda out of the question. so fingers crossed! lol

Wow! I need to keep this updated on progress other than that; I’ve been busy cleaning empty apartments and making armor when and where I can during this quarantine. I have a second suit the I can start work on. But in light of that still working on my printer so I can get these big pieces done! Next step is the boots and I gotta by fabric for some parts. So enjoy the pics

Wow I’m really bad at update the forums each step of the way! But figure time for an update and share to the non discord, IG, well social media people?

So. Let’s do a recap. I primed everything started to do the biceps/shoulders and went hey the operator shoulder is not right and why can I wear this? I’m much large then Deadman627 sooo I quickly rebuilt them and built our first correct foam operator shoulder. Then started free handing the HE nades while painting and battle damaging other pieces. Now the upper torso is about ready to clear coat. I have some parts to build and print but all and all. This suit is freaking cool! I am worried about the weight with the nades so might figure a counterweight out of fill a lot of padding in the to hold the chest still.

Soon this suit will be done and Southwest regiment gains a new spartan! Then onto the next commission! This time colonial gets a spartan, not me it’s another colonial member.

So Let's break it down. I have finished the suit finally and now I remembered to get these images uploaded and start getting this wrapped up as this suit is getting packed up.

The start of when i was getting to the weathering and battle damage.


Now that's a knife! Both commission 1 and 2's knives in here.


By this point...I got my Artillery Sidwinder X1 so nade printing, then finishing.


I said pronter. Made the Helmet and want to thank MoeSizzlac because this model is amazing.


This was the final assembly of the suit. Getting the nades predrilled and mounting and making sure not to rip the foam to pieces.

The suit is done! Is was sent two weeks ago and is now in Deadman627 hands. I am so happy to give this to him and can’t wait to see the full suit for Halloween. It was a large learning experience and glad I took this on.
