Alright Spartans... lets do this..
After what feels like YEARS.. 3 actually. I am finally going to try and join the ranks with my own actual armor! I have been slowly trying to put a suit together for a while now but I have decided that it is time to go all in and build a full suit!
I have been painting and customizing helmets for a while and I hope that I can translate that into the full armor. I have already gotten my handplates printed and ready to be sanding and painted, as well as some gloves to go with them. The hardest part for me is the scaling and printing of the suit itself. I have tried to start another suit about a year ago and got stuck on the first piece, that kind of fit but was slightly oversized and made the part uncomfortable. I have also printed multiple pieces that were just slightly to small (which are being used for a different build I will post about another day). Now the armor below is what I will be attempting to build, it is kind of a mashup of the Mark V (b) from reach and the Mark VII from Infinite. I have also thought about messing with putting the knee piece onto the shin like in the Mark V (b) but with the Mark VII pieces. I have also chosen to use the Master Chief's boot armor from infinite as they seemed to fit better with my boots than what else I could find.
Some of the pieces are still a little oversized after looking at this picture..
If anyone has any suggestions to help me improve the armor please feel free to let me know!
As the build continues I will update!
So lets get this party STARTED!
