I'd like some community input, here.
My girlfriend and I have decided to make a set of matching Scout/Recon armor (because we're that kind of couple), and though we had initially intended to construct the suits from Halo 4, we're running into a lot of issues:
1- Most of the files we need just don't exist, and many that do are either inaccurate or incomplete.
2- We're new to the hobby, and building H4 armor on your first rodeo seems to be taking on an awful big challenge. I've put in ~7 hours pepping her Recon helmet, and I've hardly put a dent in it-- plus, when it comes to the bondo and detail work, I'm afraid I'll lose the fidelity of the pep design.
3- The H4 helmets also have very unique visors which I would need to vacuum form-- a process which I am not sure I can accommodate.
As such, I've been considering putting the H4 suits aside, and working on building us a pair of suits from H3 instead, since the 405th has a complete database of H3 resources, and the forums can easily provide the most support for it. I briefly considered Reach, as well, but the database has neither the Recon nor the Scout variant files.
