Hello ladies and gentleman, I've watched the forums for a good long time and read every sticky I could get my hands on and FINALLY started my pep. This is the first pep I have ever done so it was a great learning experience. I tried different cutting methods, different glues and different folding methods. It wasn't until about the end that I really came to a process I liked.
Here is what I have so far
and I went ahead and made myself some decals and unit sigs
Next I need to go out and buy some more cardstock and when that happens I will get to work on the shoulders and grieves. I do not intend to make a helm because frankly I'm not a fan of the marine helm, i already have a sarge's cap too. Being that this is my first project and I've never had any experience in this I would love some help from you guys. My big questions at the moment are how this thing will fasten (i know about the black nylon straps over the shoulders) and also does anyone have any ideas for the phany pack type back worn on the back of the belt? Lastly which assault rifle pep do people prefer? All comments and advice are much appreciated!!

p.s.- ... how much of a halo sin would it be to paint these black, do the sigs in white and drop an odst helm on top of it? or perhaps doing a O.D. green odst? perhaps my own take on some kind of UNSC force recon. thoughts?
