dude epic build im trying to do the same thing although im sucking at glueing atm how do u do it so great?

 

[MissingSpartan7]

i've been told glue guns are good but personally i use a really cheap glue stick and go over each flap several times,
its also about how you press/hold the glued flaps and faces together

slight update: i've started building the forearms then i gotta do the boot covers. after that its RESIN TIME!!

also: i'm keeping all my reach files here now
EOD shoulder (A4)

Nice! It is looking great! I tryed the reach armour too. But I failed So I just started a odst weta armour insteadXD Your doing great! Can't wait for more updates

 

[MissingSpartan7]

truth is i actually got halfway through MY odst build and sorta just gave up
i actually have most of it pepped and resined but i never got around to finishing it
shame, really

-1st forearm nearly all assembled..

CJ

 

[MissingSpartan7]

its not a triple post if you delete the post before it....

argh, it seems everything is against me, i basically can only work from friday arvo to
sunday evening because of school and stuff

however, i have begun resining parts..
but the problem is the fact i only have 3 weekends after this till release

i am able to delegate some work to parents, like grunt pepakura work (cutting and glueing)
but i'm still not sure..
i still gotta rebuild my bicep pieces, i'm actually using HaloGoddess' Kat ones, but don't tell anyone

although it looks a bit uphill for me i still have some pics from the last few days
<IMAGE REMOVED>
^ forearms pep done!
<IMAGE REMOVED>
thighs drying...
<IMAGE REMOVED>
small important annoying bits
<IMAGE REMOVED>

anyway, thats probly all for today
i'll go back to cutting out those bicep pieces

awsome armor.

 

[kahnah]

great progress.
i was curious as to which shoulder you were useing.
it looks alot like rundowns only with a lot greater detail.

 

[Apoca1yp5e]

great work! Is it better to Resin with the Visor part cut out first or to leave it in then cut it out?

 

[Sparty]

how did you keep the knife from warping my be i just suck lol

 

[MissingSpartan7]

the update for this weekend

<IMAGE REMOVED>
<IMAGE REMOVED>
<IMAGE REMOVED>

now back to resining....

how did you keep the knife from warping my be i just suck lol

my knife is actually a little warped on the blade, at the top it bends to one side slightly,
i actually assembled it as blade + handle - which might have helped

great work! Is it better to Resin with the Visor part cut out first or to leave it in then cut it out?

i'm still not sure, i resined my odst helm with it in and resined my N6 without it in and still have no idea - i spose
it depends on what you think is best, its gotta come out eventually

great progress.

i'm using halogoddess' kat shoulders - yeah, i know...
i saw acenat using them and thought they looked better than my old ones


thats all for now

Did you use the "Rundown" file for the helmet?? And what size since you look like how i am built..I am 6'ft and about 170lbs athletic build. I think i have a height of 275mm set for the helmet?(it rescales the other dimensions)

And since I can admit I am a noob and this is a smaller thread, what do people commonly use to create the lense...and get the tint perfect??? I have seen them etch it and install it but never how its actually made. I play paintball but the lenses i can buy for the masks are to small.

thanks man, and great work btw way!

 

[Scrub]

Nice pics, man. Anyway you can rescale them for future references? Loading this page drastically slowed my other tab lol

 

[MissingSpartan7]

yeah, i know
i put my best efforts in, but unfortunately had exams on release day

but i know that what you all want to see are the progress pictures

@ AceNat - interested in forming Noble Australia? I'm occasionally over in perth...

@Scrub - hopefully these resized for you

and to the hackers - hurry up and get model extraction for reach!

 

[MissingSpartan7]

well, its the end of a 7 month journey...
Reach.

had examables on release day and still needed more time to put final touches/paint on N6

however, i still was entirely, extremely satisfied with how it turned out and you can see why
