Spartan Alexander-095 MKIII [pic Heavy]

[First Strike]

Hey all! I wanted to share my progress on the 3rd iteration of my suit. Posted for reference as the first picture is my current armor. All following pics are unfinished [gap filled/primed/painted/] pieces of armor. This is my first time doing a thread like this [to current memory] if I am doing something wrong please inform me and I will be happy to rectify this.

Picture courtesy of my Photographer let me know if you'd like her info or to see more of this photoshoot check out my album! :]

Thanks for saying that! Even though I'm upgrading MKII suit has a lot of great memories baked in that I won't soon forget but I cannot wait to show off MKIII. I've beat the Mass Effect franchise (all game playthroughs) like...3 times? I own the remaster as well xD

Looking good! I'm exited to see how this build goes.

Ok! Next update so here are the next pieces to be done. First up, biceps

So above Is the turnaround for both biceps. One has a "Plug" to attach one of my shoulder pads...speaking of:

So above is my new, improved, and I think far sexier than my original O.D.S.T shoulder. The pink 2mm foam is not from files that is me adding additional armor plating and detail. Onto the next!

The above is my Mjolnir shoulder pad for my left arm. Again pink foam for added detail. Onto the next!

Ok! So here are my Grenadier knees. Shins to come! All these pieces are before glue cleanup, and gap filling. Thanks for following along!

Don't think I've seen anyone do the buckler forearm piece before, but I'm loving how yours is coming out so far! I also like the color placement you've got going on with your helmet; the gray stripe and the shapes on the chin make for a really nice aesthetic. Is the new version of the suit going to have the same color scheme as the old one or are you going to switch it up? Either way, you're making very good progress!

Thank you much! The green and black is definitely here to stay as that's generally [it looks gray under bright light ] my anesthetic. All the Armor [pieces] are staying the same but are just higher quality models I have found the colors are a version of my armor for Reach so I don't deviate far. Thanks so much for the kind words!
