Don't get me wrong, I love my CQB SPARTAN-III but after two years it's starting to show wear in a few spots from being tossed and banged around the western part of North America. For an upgrade that utilizes different techniques and lessons learned from the various costumes and props I've built since early 2018 I want to tackle a character that we know very little about and have very few visual references for.
Think of it as a freebuild character but going for accuracy to flesh out what limited 2D images we have of her and bring her into the real world. From the PAX 2010 Bungie panel we saw the Noble Team members and their concept loadouts, Rosenda is the third from the left.
The good thing is there is several dynamic poses of the seven members of Noble Team so that I can piece together a rough three view orthographic projection and work backwards to create a model. For certain parts that have a rough analogue with in game armour pieces I'll be able to fill in the blanks but for the most part this will be a lot of guesswork and going with what looks good while still matching up to the concept art that has the Bungie stamp of approval.
Overall the plan for this suit is to go with a hybrid build method of foam and 3D printed components as well as some other materials to improve upon comfort and wearability of my previous two SPARTAN operatives. I'd like Rosenda to be even more nimble then my other builds so there will likely be plenty of foam pieces on the lower body and more 3D printed parts further up since they're always the ones that I seem to cause the most damage to in foam.
As usual I will use the original post as an index to link to other posts of note as well as a tracking sheet for progress and material consumption.
