Thanks. The bicep was easy so I might be able to get both done by tomorrow, and then start working on my chest piece. Should I scratch build the chest attachment or is there a good file I can use for foam? If someone could give me some pointers that would be great! Also, is there a foam template for the commander shoulders? Thanks! Ill update later tonight.

The Carter little add-ons? I know there are pep files not sure about foam ones for those

No, it's the, collar/ breacher attachment. I don't think they have foam files for it either.

I think I'm going to try and remake it. I'm satisfied with it, but I think I can do better.
Comments and criticism please!
Thanks for lookin'

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Ok, I'm settling with this one. *phew*

It's still the same size as the smaller one, that actually fits.

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Criticism please! Or comments.

Hey, good morning! Wow, looking good!

So:
Plastidip. Then Primer, then paint?

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Yes sir, that's how it goes. I use acrylics.

Got the other bicep done tonight! Pictures...

Comments and criticism please!

Build looks great! Lil tip for LD stuff, if you know what you're doing when it comes to painting you can actually make it look HD. Try layering colors for this effect. Keep up the good work!

Ok got it, would it work with acrylics? If not, I always have spray paint.

 

[NayrDeath]

I do the majority of my base painting with spray paints and add details/weathering with acrylics.

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Sounds like an awesome idea. I really want to make this one memorable.

 

[NayrDeath]

Maybe throw some personalized details on your suit, like how Emile carved his helmet. I was gonna do Tribal designs on my Halo 4 suit once I get to building it.

 

[Caboose vs Grif]

Yeah maybe I'll do some cool thing with my helmet like an RvB reference or something cool.

Doing your OWN personalized Reach MP armor... With foam.. Dude... You ROCK my senses! Keep up the great work!

Oh and I'm with NayrDeathExperience! Definitively add your markings to the suit! Your's or just UNSC type ones!

You keep the photographic sweetness comin' and I can damn well guarantee a endless stream of admiration and praise being returned to sender! Specially if you keep up this level of commitment and detail!

Don't get scared or surprised when legacy effects come knockin' on your doorstep one of these days!
(U know, the guys that took over Live Action shorts for Halo franchise after weta and their believe campaign for Halo 3).
