Rhinoc's Noble 6 Build! That's right, I make armor too!

[Cobbatron]

I have been working for a while on my Halo Reach Noble 6 build for a while now, and have finally decided to post up some status and pics! Thats right PICS!!!!

This was the first piece I have made, still needs to be resined and fiberglassed... but I will do that later :/

That is the shoulder I modeled a while back. This part was pretty hard to make! None the less I had fun making it! When I put it on it warps out, because when I modeled it it was too thin, so I plan to make a duct tape dummy arm to put it on when I fiberglass!

and finally the helmet... I bought the helmet pepped out from Charlieiscool12 here on the 405th and it got here two days later! I added some struts because it had warped a little from shipping but it is OK now. Then I bought a respirator, resin, and bondo and got to work the next day and here is what I have so far...

Did you read that list of what I bought? Yeah, I forgot plastic spreaders, spot putty and sand paper! I also still need to find where my dad hides his rotary tool! This was my first time EVAR resining, and I think I did awesomely! I also used rondo for the inside... thank you Ben Streeper for making that awesome tutorial!!


That is all for now!!




Coming up next

[costumer99]

where is the rondo tutorial?

 

[Cobbatron]

Ben Streeper made one! Just look for him and find his thread about building a helmet and look for the first one with LeeKeegan in it.

i hate to ask another question....and i hope i dont get mods mad,
but i typed ben streeper into the search box and a lot of random threads popped up, is it a certain name of a thread or does he have a different user name, is it a video on youtube?

There is a link to the thread

And there is a link to the first part of the rondo portion, it is about 3-4 video's long

 

[Noble 7]

cool progress Rhinoc, one question, did you cut out the visor after rondoing the inside and the outside of the helmet? and by the way youll learn how to patch holes if you watch ben streepers tutorials, there are a couple of videos dedicated to patching holes in the same thread you posted above, ill look for the videos and post the links for you

 

[AceNat]

nice one rhinoc! i was wondering when you were going to get around to building the stuff you've modelled!
looks awesome so far!

 

[Cobbatron]

@Noble 7- Thanks! Yeah always cut the visor out AFTER rondoing or else it will warp like CRAZY!!!!! Looks like I also have a video to find...

@AceNat- Thank you!

Wow Rhinoc Looks great!!! ^_^

Btw. 785 posts! I have known you from when you was in the noob forum I still remember how happy you was for your 100th post Now you are a famous 405th member

 

[Cobbatron]

Yeah... those were some good times.

I think in my first post no one really expected ANYTHING from me, like one of those people who come here, stay for a few days, then disappear. I still cant believe I have come as far as I have.

 

[Cobbatron]

No vid this time but I do have pictures of what I worked on!!

As I said before... I wanted the HUL on it.

The helmet

Helmet with the HUL. Still needs some work

Foam for PADDING!!!! YAAY!!!!!

(holy crap dats a lot of foam!)
lol
Thats all for now guys!!!

BTW if anyone can guess what I used for the little thingy by the vents on the chin gets an e-cookie!!!

 

[insanetrooper]

great work on your build, its coming along really nice.

this things you used next to the vents kinda look like a pencil half

Thanks!! That means a lot coming from you!

That is part of it... any guesses on what else it is?

 

[Trooper114]

Good work so far. Good idea using the foam board like that. I have a question about the visor. Is it a motorcycle visor? And also what did you use to cut the visor?
