SV's Reach MK. V Build!

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

I've always wanted to make a Mk V suit, but it took a while before the really good Pep Files started to show up.

To begin with, I chose to use lganderson's MK. V Torso. Gotta say I love the work he did on it! Still have some details to do, but I'll soon be done with the assembly.

Enjoy!

Looks clean and sharp. However, I suggest that you place a Noble 6 image sided by side to yours. You can tell that yours is a little too big. You probably need to reduce it by 15-20%. The lower side brace should be right below your ribcage, not on your hips.

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

It IS just below my Rib Cage, not at my hips. And if I were to reduce it, my head would not fit through the collar. I think it fits perfectly.

Here is an image and decide it yourself. Compare your second image to this image found on the web.

My understanding is once the costumes are made, most of them are impossible to fit through your body without some type of adjusting. The chest piece for example may need to be separated in half and put it back together again. I did just that to my kids MC chest pieces.

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

Don't worry, it will fit. You have to remember that the underarmor I'll be making will have a lot of layers of foam, so it will be raised a little from my shoulders and front and back will be filled up with underarmor.

Looks good, dude.

The piece is at his rib cage. The pics that he posted aren't clear enough to see where his rib cage ends.

Can't wait to see some more progress, dude!

Yeah, I took a few pictures showing where my hips are at, just to clear things up. My hand is right above my hips. :

Btw, Chest is completely assembled! (Aside from a few small detail pieces, I'll add those later.)

Huzzah, I has an update!

 

[Brandon McClain]

Hmm, it's looking good! That's quite the sexy looking helmet...

 

[Cobbatron]

CONGRADUSLATIONS!!! you sir are the first, that i've seen, to make those shins!!!

Looking good dude!

Thanks Brandon!

Hey, I was gonna ask you... How is the Shotgun you got coming along? I've haven't seen or heard of it in a long time.

CONGRADUSLATIONS!!! you sir are the first, that i've seen, to make those shins!!!

Looking good dude!

Thanks, Rhinoc! It's your model, right? I chose it because of the level of simplicity and detail I looked for. Now, all I need are the Grenadier Knee Pads.

 

[ACDCrockr209]

Great build dude!

Clean builds!

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

So yeah, here is the long overdue progress update. Just got finished assembling the Forearms by Ruze, which was splendidly unfolded by Brandon. Love them so far!

I also completed a set of FJ/Para Kneeguards that came along with the Shins I built earlier this year. Hopefully with the rising temperatures I'll be able to start resining these pieces soon.

Enjoy!

Very good and clean peps!
It's going to be an awesome armor !

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

Aaaaaaand we're rolling again!

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

The Shins and Knees are now done!

 

[Inheritor95]

Looking Good!

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

Thank you! The thighs still needs some adjustment, they're a little tight around the bottom and the top, but with a little filing here and there, they should fit snugly.

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

I decided to leave the biceps out until after the release of Halo 4, because I don't want to go through the hassle of figuring out how to put it in place, and how to attach the ODST shoulder to it. So there will only be ODST shoulders on on this build.

great progress so far i did O.D.S.T. shoulders on my armor as well they are hard to ad to biceps but the end result is definately worth it.
