Project FEMV[B] - Overhaul of MK.V[B] Female armory templates

[KaeSpoon]

A project I have slowly been working on over the last few years is revamping/updating the outdated female MK V {B} templates.
I got fed up with the inaccuracies and decided to take it upon myself to revamp the files to be more female-friendly. After working on a bicep for a couple of weeks, I noticed that there were issues that needed fixing.

Base altering done for the bicep, details need to be tweaked and added overtop as "foamie" extras if someone would like more detail.

(Color key: White - revamp || Pink - original)

More coming soon, I have to dig through my computer to find my altered thigh and belt/cod.

Fixing the chest's spine tonight, the original modeler put it in way farther than it should be. Hopefully those who use the file will have an easier time squeezing in, I know I will!

NOTE: (This will be cross-posted to my "REACH FEMALE BUILD" HERE as it is relevant.)

After months of troubleshooting and work... I am FINALLY DONE with the female chest overhaul! This was a labor of love for the ladies here that felt uncomfortable and left out.

The original file was from the armory:

• halo-reach-mjolnir-mkv-chest-female-foam.pdo
  Modeler: L3X BLU3R1V3R

However, this file is incredibly outdated and does not fit the average female. (I am 115 pounds and could not fit the width or depth of my torso without making the chest ginormous) So I decided to give it an overhaul!

And here are the comparisons between the original file (Cyan) and my overhaul (Pink[white are optional foamies])

I have two versions of the new chest, one with the seams/grooves:

However, I knew this would make the Papakura file way too stressful to use, especially if someone did not want to do all those seam details, so here is the final product that is more foam-friendly with flat guides that allows someone to CHOOSE if they want to inset the seams or not make them at all!:

Optional foamies as well!

Comparison with the game-rip:

Pepakura view:

I am so excited that my labor of love is finally done! So many hours of work (and tears) went into this. I am going to test the pattern on my build, and if it works, I'll be happy to give the file out for free. non-commercial use.

Thanks for tuning in, off to craft!

Kind regards,
