and here's what i'll need if you're curious
Commando Left shoulder
Grenadier Right shoulder
Recon helmet (the one you get from pre ordering at Gamestop)
JF/Para Knees
HP/ HALO chest

Ad you are new I shall say this and don't take it as bad but a helpful hint: Don't wait for people to give you advice. spend a good hour searching the site and reading the threads labeled "stickie". These will tell you the procees of how to do things, how to do things, the best way to do things, and where to get the files (example the "halo reach official file thread") and please remember: Armor takes from a months to a year to make. Don't think this is a weekend job.

As a noob, there's only one advise for you: read all the stickies! Most of the noob questions have already been answered in those threads and then some.

Commando Left shoulder
Grenadier Right shoulder
Recon helmet (the one you get from pre ordering at Gamestop)

You can easily search for them. There's even a thread (made a sticky for your convenience!) devoted to all Halo Reach pep files.

There are many different methods of making armor but the pep is by far the easiest and cheapest way of going about it. Your going to find out that this is all trieal and error so if something works for us does not mean it will for you.

There is a slight problem with your plans here. Most of these have not yet been modeled you may need to change your plans. Scan through the Official Reach thread, that will have all you need.

That is false all those have been modeled and unfolded, i know this because i have all these, though i will not give you the files my self, look for them in the reach pep file thread, and also Rhinocs thread.

File names:
Jorge shoulder, left
Carter shoulder
Recon
Spartan knees
HP/HALO

LOOK BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!!! And remember, waiting fopr things to come to you is not always the best thing to do, go out and look for it! Syudy, learn like everyone else and have a good time.
