Glad to see you are working in a well ventilated area. Are you updating / redoing the front of the chest? I just noticed two on the table. Either way, I'm excited to see the progress.

I’m starting fresh on the chest because the first attempt is falling apart

Ok so I’ve been working to get things done, and I have run in to a bit of an issue

This is a part that I’m struggling to make, I age built it already and it doesn’t fit, which is a problem. I have also started to figure out scaling all the other pieces, and I when’t to the forearm and the file on Papakea, is slanted to the point of where I can’t scale it, how do I fix this

So I decided to work on a different piece of armor because I’ve been getting aggravated with the chest just because of how the pieces are so complicated, so I decided to remake my thigh pieces or at least one of them at the time, going to starting the second one soon probably tomorrow and when I’m not doing school.

The one with the two thigh pieces is the old and the new, number one is the new one, number two is the old one

Your edges and proportions are impressive. Very clean. For the round holes are you free handing those cuts or using a punch-out style tool?

Well, I may have used one of my drills and found a bit that matched the hole size

So I’ve hit the point where I’m trying to decide on what I want my armor to look like, and I realized I could use chat gpt just to get an idea and this is what it gave me. I want the visor to be a dark red and have the suit to be black with I want to do red, or maybe gold or silver, Idk stick trying to decide, but I would love to hear what you all think! It would be greatly appreciated

I will say if you really want to see and customize your spartan to get an idea of what you want try the Halo spartan pack!

There is a tutorial on the whole topic here on the forums! [Tutorial] How to make/view/export your own Halo Spartans in Blender
