My Reach/markvi Hybrid

[ratchet fan]

Alright I have been in this site for a while and have done somethings, not all that much but i try. Here is my progress and attempts so far!



Here is the right forearm.

Here I am wearing it - pep only

Jetpack - still needs a little work in cardboard then bondo

I have 2 shoulders caps, I dont know if i will keep them yet but they were fun to make



I forget what this one is called but i put plexy glass in the middle to have blue LED's on the other side.

This is the beginning of the FJ/Para but still not done

And this helmet was one i did a while back but i did a bunch of stuff to it and never got to mold it and for that matter it never really looked that good so i stripped it and am using it for a base to start with bondo. but besides this one i'll be making one of the helmets from reach to wear to the game release.

the right thigh, cod piece, chest piece, and chest are fiberglassed, everything else except for the right forearm is resined. i am doing some fiberglass tonight with a friend and hopefully for my b-day in 2 days i'll get some resin and bondo to crank this baby out!



also to, Unfortunately, i am redoing the chest because it was an early model and the front it switched around and a few pieces missing and not as detailed.... but the biggest reason is because i screwed it up with i glassed it.... poo. oh well that is an easy thing to re-pep.



and does anyone have the shoulder files. I have Brandon's but the unfold is iffy and i'm not talented to re-unfold it. there are not numbers and when i add then the line disappear plus there are a ton!!!! of tiny little pieces. maybe someone can try to re-unfold that! anyway hope you like my stuff. i think i am getting better from my last stuff.



EDIT: Non of the pep things are my creation or modeling or unfolding. I am using stuff by rundown, rhinoc, crackhead09, BrianMcClain, Flying Squirrels and some others from the halo wiki. As well as unfolds by HaloGoddess and a few others. It seems that a lot of people are not giving credit were credit is due so i wanted to make sure i give a shout out to all that have made my project possible. Much thanks to you and your time! God Bless

Looks great so far! Keep it up! I think you'll be the first jetpack.

cool beans! I am short on cash right now otherwise i might be done with all fiberglass... once i get there it should be a cake walk!!

 

[mustang2500]

Way to be creative! Not to mention environmentally friendly

 

[Killer Koala]

Wow! That looks great! What an awesome combination. How long did it take you to pep all that?

 

[penutbuttrbandt]

thats pretty good looking...i gotta get on the ball...get things moving along

 

[ratchet fan]

well... i was pretty off and on with this but a few weeks here and there probably a month in total. Hopefully it all works out before the release. but i have the lower body of the Mark VI because i like the look of the thighs i may change to the reach shins later in if i have time but idk then i have yet to make the boots but i am working on getting the arms done...i really dont want to do the shoulders... if i get those done i think i'll have fun doing the rest. i just want to find an easier shoulder to do... i think i am getting lazy. anyway has anyone fould pep versions of those shoulders yet? done know if i am happy with them yet.



btw thanks for all the encouragement it really means a lot. i have put time into this and when people take notice it is super awesome!!! thanks everyone!

I started a little bondo today cuz my bro bought me some bondo for my b-day tomorrow and he didnt want to wrap it or hide it so he gave it to me! here are a few pics. still a lot of work to do!!



COD FRONT - Got a bit of bondo on the front. need some sand paper though i am running out. i have 80 and 320 but i need some more 60 for initial sanding down

Thigh - got some on the vents gettin it smooth

Still working on the helmet trying to get is smooth...

Yup more work tomorrow! tryin to get a hold on this hold bondo thing. maybe i'll have a friend over to help me bondo and fiber the rest of what i got

 

[ratchet fan]
