Hehe.
I know I'm getting into something really difficult, FlusherCape26, and I thank you for looking out for me. I'm kinda looking for that challenge, though. This is supposed to be sort of a long-term hobby for me, something that'll be done by, say, next halloween. I want to take it slow, and I want to have a really good product, and I'm not confident in my foam skills at all, so that's why I chose pep. I am going to have to do some foam work nonetheless, for the torso and thighs.
Despite not really previously being interested in a MJOLNIR build, though, I've been putting some thought into it and have come up with A) a concept I like and B) the conviction that I should try a foam build at some time, too, so sometime after I finish the ODST build, I'm going to try a foam Reach-era Spartan. Something in the spirit of Jorge, and borrowing a lot of his concepts (UA collar on the chestpiece, double UA wrists, his custom UA shins, HMG and backpack, the works) but definitely my own thing (nothing I ever got to play in MP, as I'm thinking of having the left shoulder as Security to match the UA collar, and I never hit Brigadier).
It's actually kinda sucked to be thinking about this and working on an ODST instead, but this is the project I started and I'm not confident enough in my abilities (yet) to tackle a full MJOLNIR build, nor a full foam build. Plus, there's a few things I need to figure out still (like if I want assymetric shoulders, and what helmet I should wear - it's pretty much down to JFO, which I wore, or EOD, which completes the walking tank look).
