Thanks for the compliments guys! Here is a little update on the Reach UNSC armor.
Here are pics of the armor on my mannequin.
Here are pics of the armor before I added the ab plate as I try it one with the vest and shoulder pads.

this looks absolutely amazing! the chest and shoulder pieces look spot on for scaling, well done.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate the positive comments.
XDarkice...I do have the templates but they are not in electronic format but I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll go to Office Depot so they can scan the original templates and send you the file.
Here are a couple of pics of me in my MARPAT BDU with the armor on. Sorry if the pics are not that good but I just wanted to see how everything looks so far. I am planning on finishing at least one of the drop leg thigh attachments this week.

Where did you get that vest and shoulder attachments from? I was thinking of making my own shoulder soft armor attachments and mounting my ODST shoulder armor on top but those pads you have look almost like what I was going to make anyways.
Your build looks great. I do think it looks better with the ACU pattern, a little closer to the game colors.

Not a problem, I'll let you know when it's done. Oh BTW, I coated the foam with a sealer in this case I used Mod Podge before painting. Otherwise, your paint will just soak into the foam especially if you sanded the surface. I prefer using Krylon Fusion paints.
I ordered them from Strapworks.com very friendly and helpful people even through emails. Very good selection of strap materials from D-rings to nylon webbing straps. Thanks! I agree with you, I will try it on with ACU tonight and post another pic to compare. I find the MARPAT BDU a little too dark.
Thanks man! LOL!
Hey Road Kill! Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks again guys! Here are pics with the ACU pattern. It looks a lot better than the darker MARPAT BDUs. Sorry for the inadequate lighting.
To answer the question about the vest. I used an airsoft padded vest for about $16 on ebay and I sewed my own upperarm/shoulder pads and extended the sides of the vest using a black ripstop fabric with batting material for padding. Buying a genuine plate holder tactical vest would cost about $70 bucks at the very least. I thought I'd make my own vest and use the $70 bucks for something else.

No way! Those shoulder pads look manufactured. You did a really good job on them. They look just like the DAPS for real body armor, they even have the velcro.
