Model portfolio (Satchmo III)

Hello four-oh-fivers.

As of the start of this thread, I'm new to the world of computer modeling but have set up this model portfolio to have a place to share and exhibit my work. Models will be uploaded to one of the reserved posts at the thread's beginning and I will create a new post to identify when a new model is uploaded or an existing model is revised. Creators and unfolders will be identified with every model. These models are provided for use in building paper models and are to be used per Microsoft's game content usage rules (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/developer/rules) only. All model meshes are original works based on image source material and are in no way back-engineered from game software (unless otherwise noted).

My approach to modeling is to capture major details. For the sake of pepakura some details (typically the smaller ones) may be omitted/revised to help in putting together the paper. The intent is that the smaller details can be added in or cut out at later processes of a build.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK MODEL SCALING AND MODIFY TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS PRIOR TO PRINT/ASSEMBLY.

Any and all feedback (positive and negative) is welcomed and appreciated. All modeling suggestions will be considered (see the request log in the following post). Thank you.

A special thank you to Bungie/343i/Microsoft for providing the Halo universe to play with and to Isaac Hannaford (Space Ship Guru: 405th Infantry) for providing such wonderful concept artwork as source material.

Model summary and request log

MODEL SUMMARY...

The following model summary list identifies completed and updated models and provides quick links to download files from a OneDrive account. The list is organized alphabetically by model name. The models and unfolds contained in this list are by me and with other collaborators as noted.

Detail info and screen-shots for each model are located in the beginning model detail posts of this thread. Each new model and detail info will be added below the most recent previous upload (new models will always be at the bottom of the detail posts). Each uploaded model will be numbered chronologically and that identification number will be cross-referenced at the left of the alphabetical model summary.

MODELS COMPLETED THROUGH 2019-01-14...

This a rendering of all (or most) models contained in this thread through the date listed above. I refer to it as arsenal. Please note, I've decided to apply some filters in the rendering software to smooth out the polygons of the models...this makes the rendering look cooler. Although assembled paper will contain some polygonal angles, these can be smoothed out and detailed after paper assembly with bondo and other methods.



REQUEST LOG...

The following list identifies models that have been requested within this thread. There is no guarantee I will work on any or all of these models nor is the order listed below indicative of order of completion. If you are interested in contracting me to produce a model please send me a PM to discuss.

Model detail #1

01) REACH DATA STORAGE UNIT (THE PACKAGE)
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-05-27 ... Model completed and unfolded
.......... 2011-07-26 ... Cleaned up tabs in pepakura

The package is one of my first modeling attempts. It's fairly simple and is sort of an exercise in symmetry. I believe Cortana's data-chip is meant to float at the center of the canister by some force-field...since this is not conducive to things like pepakura I've modeled the field as a cylinder (I think it'll also help to support paper).



02) REACH WEAPON NEEDLER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-07-24 ... Model completed and unfolded

Even though it's a strange weapon, ever since Halo:CE I have thought the needler is neat. I've been mulling over weapons to accompany my armor build and wanted Reach's iteration of the crystal-shard-chucker thrown in the mix for sure. The actual needles in the model are none too fancy...I'm considering them as place-holders to be worked on during the finishing portion of a build.



03) REACH HELMET ELITE RANGER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-07-31 ... Model completed and unfolded

It's large and not really set up for human use (though it could be modified) but the ranger elite helmet is pert cool.



04) REACH WEAPON FOCUS RIFLE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-02 ... Model completed and unfolded

Ready...focus...fire! I think I've used the focus rifle while playing Reach for a sum total of 45 seconds, and that was when I was messing around with it to get a sense of its scale (I settled on 35 inches from tip to tail for the unfold provided with the file). Even so, I think the weapon is pretty cool and really like how the barrel operates when steady fire is maintained. I decided to omit some of the detail on either side of the barrel but may add it in later. The model is not sectioned, though depending on how it builds I may modify it to be later.



05) REACH HAND-PLATE ELITE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-16 ... Model completed and unfolded

The Elite hand-plate (and I think maybe the belt) is the only piece of their armor that is consistent across each class. The model as unfolded is more...human-sized, I thought it'd be cool to add the Elite hand-plate as a potential alternative for Spartan armor builds (though the model can be up-scaled for more Elite-sized builds if desired).



06) REACH FOREARM ELITE RANGER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-18 ... Model completed and unfolded

Six pages...21 pieces...you do the math. The unfold as provided is human-sized. I'm approaching the sizing of Elite armor as scaled to a (more) typical human rather than the full-grown Elite alien species. The scale can always be altered by the end-user with the use of Pepakura Designer. At each opening I've added a lip that extends back inside the model...my intent is for the lip to serve as a catch for sloshed rondo if used to harden the model (the lip can be omitted if desired).



07) REACH HELMET ELITE OFFICER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-19 ... Model completed and unfolded

The Elite officer helmet was made at the request of my friend, BLACKULA727. It's to be used to compliment his stellar Elite bust sculpture (http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/33645-Halo-Reach-Elite-Sculpt-(Well-Hopefully)). Check id oud! The file as provided is scaled for the sculpture.



08) REACH TORSO ELITE RANGER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-20 ... Model completed and unfolded

If I had two sets of mandibles I'd use them to yell out in the name of good battle (wort wort wort). The Elite ranger torso model isn't crazily imbued with detail but the prominent ones are present. I've sized the provided unfold based on some Spartan armor torso opening measurements I've used in the past so, again, this model is sized more with an eye toward humanity rather than our future alien enemies (which wind up, spoiler-alert, as our future alien allies). Since Elite physiology is different than ours there is potential for things to not fit 100% correctly (and the neck opening is probably too small) so please take this into consideration should you chose to tackle this beast (before I do). If you'd like to provide any feedback in this regard I'd be very appreciative and may make modifications if needed.



09) REACH BICEP ELITE RANGER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-21 ... Model completed and unfolded (A4-sized paper)
.......... 2011-08-22 ... Revised model slightly and unfolded on letter-sized paper

Another piece that I think would be sweet if combined with a Spartan build is ranger bicep/shoulder. I'm not sure if the bicep armor is the same across Elite classes with differing should guards (as is the case with the Spartans) but in any case I've modeled the bicep and shoulder together instead of separate. The unfold provided is human-sized.



10) REACH THIGH ELITE RANGER
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-21 ... Model completed and unfolded

I think the front and back guards of the thigh armor are intended to be attached by strap. Although I've modeled this I think it would work better in the real world if a real strap was made up.



11) REACH BELT ELITE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-27 ... Model completed and unfolded

The Elite belt...the negative cod-piece.



12) REACH FOOT-GUARD ELITE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-08-27 ... Model completed and unfolded

The foot-guard rounds out the completion of the three common Elite armor pieces (the hand-plate and belt being the other two) and all armor pieces possessed by the ranger. The first four pages of the provided unfold contain the two toe pieces.



13) REACH THIGH ATTACHMENT MARINE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-09-04 ... Model completed and unfolded

The marine thigh attachment was modeled at the request of digitalskylight for potential use for the fan-film, Genesis. It looks like the project is starting to pick up steam and several talented 405th members are actively contributing to it. Check it out (HALO Pitch Trailer).

Model detail #2

14) REACH TORSO MARINE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-09-04 ... Model completed and unfolded

This is what I will call the base marine torso (without any packs or attachments). I may look into the various add-ons later. I did not model buckling/strapping as, in my mind, these things should be added at a build-stage after pepakura. I also left out the full belly-plate since the front-packs obscure it and, in-game, it appears to be independent of the rest of the torso. The model was created at the request of digitalskylight for potential use for the fan-film, Genesis (HALO Pitch Trailer).



15) STAR WARS DROID R2D2
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-02-21 ... Model completed and unfolded
.......... 2011-09-13 ... Cleaned up unfold

I haven't had much time to model lately but I was looking through some files on my computer, came across this guy, and thought I'd include him in this thread. This very basic R2D2 was my first modeling attempt back in February (2011). At the time I posted it in my Noble Six build thread with a pretty poor unfold. I've done a quick re-unfold of the model which is quite a bit more straight forward than it was originally.

As it did back in February, the unfold as provided stands about 10 inches tall and took me somewhere around three hours to assemble (with the poorer unfold). The intent of the model was for practice and because R2 rocks. It's by no means an accurate model but it is recognizable as R2 and although there's room for much improvement, I like to think of it as a good start.



16) REACH WEAPON CONCUSSION RIFLE AMMO
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-10-15 ... Model completed and unfolded

Upon full discharge of the concussion rifle's energy ammo...the empty cartridge can be thrown as a projectile.



17) REACH WEAPON CONCUSSION RIFLE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-10-15 ... Model completed and unfolded

This may be a slightly tricky model to put together.



18) REACH WEAPON CONCUSSION RIFLE SLICED
Model .... Satchmo III
Slices ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-10-20 ... Model sliced

I'm not entirely sold on the slice-method for building models but I wanted to see if creating a sliced model was something that I could do. For a length of 36" I recommend 1/4" thick material for the slices. If another length is desired you'll have to do some cross-multiplication to figure out a decent material thickness to maintain the model's proportions (math class nay-sayers listen up...that kind of stuff does occasionally come in handy).



19) REACH WEAPON PLASMA REPEATER
----------
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2011-10-22 ... Model completed and unfolded

I didn't put the teeth-like ridges in the model so as to avoid pep-work with small pieces. The charge-canister is separate from the weapon-body (although I don't think it's removed in game I thought it'd be easier to build separately and neat as a stand-alone piece if desired (the canister is contained in the last three pages of the provided unfold)).



20) REACH HELMET COMMANDO CONCEPT
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-04-28 ... Model completed and unfolded

Earlier this week I decided I wanted to build a commando helmet. I checked into Ruze789 (*The Official* Halo Reach Pepakura Files Thread) and jtm1997 (jtm1997's reach pilot, emile, recon, odst, deadmau5, Scout, and daft punk helmet peps) who have each done great work with the helmet but upon searching out a PDO for the visor attachment (which I think is a critical add for this helmet) I stumbled upon a bit of concept artwork that featured some lines which I prefer over the in-game model. I booted up Blender Saturday morning, unfolded and printed the PDO Saturday afternoon, and finished assembling the paper sometime Sunday morning (BUILD LINK FORTH-COMING)...I dug the process flow. The visor attachment is part of the model.



21) HALO 4 HELMET SPARTAN IV
Model .... harnor (Modifed by Satchmo III)
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-03-24 ... Model completed (Original post)
.......... 2012-04-27 ... Model modified and unfolded

If you haven't yet gazed upon harnor's modeling work you are missing out. The detail he's able to pump out with little reference info is stellar. He has allowed me to modify his original Spartan IV model to account for some new references from the RvB promos and to simplify some of the line work to make paper assembly a little smoother. Thank you harnor for allowing me to share the modification and unfold.

There are a few Halo helmets that I find off-putting the first time I see them that I eventually start to warm up to...this helmet is in this category. I have put the paper together for this model and will be starting a build thread for this helmet soon.


22) REACH HELMET CONCEPT #2
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... harnor
Log ...... 2012-05-02 ... Model completed
.......... 2012-05-03 ... Model unfolded

I wanted to continue to delve into the concept helmets. I think this one eventually became the scout helmet but it's difficult to tell. It'd be neat to see someone build this.

I'm asking the community to provide an unfold for this one. If you'd like to participate please send me a PM or post with a link to your unfold. If more than one unfold is provided I'll either select the best one or put links to them all at the beginning of the thread (I will upload the file to my file share to maintain it in the thread). I hope to see someone take up the charge. Thanks four-o-five.

Uno mas mas casco concepto. It's fairly easy to see this helmet is the precursor to the pilot helmet. I take that back, I see parts of the pilot helmet along with elements of Emile's helmet in this one.

25) LEGENDS HELMET KELLY
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-06 ... Model completed and unfolded

New day...new EVA type. I like the unfold for this one...at 27 I think it a low helmet piece quantity PR for me. There are a couple of inconsistencies, some were choices and some I didn't realize until grabbing the reference image shown below from youtube (after having spent some time outputting the unfold)...still, a good model (as far as my take at least) with a stellar unfold.



26) REACH HELMET EVA EMILE
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-12 ... Model completed and unfolded

New day...new EVA type. I have and will probably upload a version without the skull carving but I wanted to do something new with this helmet. This one is based off a combination of concept art and reference images from the game. I enlarged the neck opening in the hopes that not too much modification would be needed to allow users to don the helmet.



27) REACH HELMET NOBLE SIX CONCEPT
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-12 ... Model completed and unfolded

I really dig the concept work for the Noble Six character. The image below is the only one I could find for this early version of Reach's main character. I'll say it here...a big thank you to Isaac Hannaford and the other Bungie concept artists for providing such great source material. I love looking at their stuff.



28) REACH HELMET EVA

Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-12 ... Model completed

This is the standard EVA helmet from Reach (sans Emile's skull carving). The shaping of all the EVA dome face-shields has been pretty time-consuming.



29) REACH HELMET HAZOP
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-20 ... Model completed and unfolded

Another concept/in-game model hybrid.



30) REACH WEAPON FUEL ROD GUN
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-24 ... Model completed and unfolded

This one took a while to model (curvature cornucopia). This one took a while to unfold (piece plethora). At what I'm to understand is its full size, this 4'-3" long beast has many parts and the provided unfold has many pages. The gel-pack ammo clip is independent of the gun so it can be detailed separately and made to be semi-functional if you're crafty about it. As per usual, I have chosen to modify and omit some details from the model to suit my taste. Good luck.



31) REACH HELMET ELITE ULTRA
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-26 ... Model completed and unfolded

Well...I figured a big covie weapon needed a big covie helmet to go with it. I tried my hand at some rudimentary coloring with this model. Though it's probably not worth printing with the texture on I do like how the model looks with the color. Be warned, watch your scaling...I think the unfold I've provided is too large.



32) HALO 4 HELMET DEADEYE CONCEPT
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-05-28 ... Model completed and unfolded

I didn't get much else done today. I'm not sure how accurate this will be or if the name of this helmet is accurate...I think deadeye is the paint scheme but the image indicated that was the helmet. I don't think I'll tackle any of the other Halo 4 helmet until better sources are available.

34) REACH SHIN CONCEPT
Model .... Satchmo III
Unfold ... Satchmo III
Log ...... 2012-06-10 ... Model completed and unfolded

It's interesting to look at the concept artwork and see how things wound up in-game. The shin is something that changed quite a bit before the final version was stamped and approved. I've left off any knee-guard but this shin model does have a potential attachment point for one. I've tried to scale this one slightly large...when I unfold I maximize piece size to the edges of margins so re-arranging is easier when down-scaling. As with all my work (from concept art or not) this is my interpretation of the piece.

There seem to be two different iterations of the SPI forearm depending on what artwork you're looking upon. I based this model largely on the reference image shown below. I actually like this forearm quite a bit.

I left the knee off this model so others could customize the shin with whichever knee model they'd like to. I did include the straps and back areas but I think that after hardening I would trim these sections off and would probably use actual strapping.

My understanding is that the mkVI helmet in the E3 2018 trailer isn't a final version of what will be in the upcoming Halo Infinite game but since the trailer armor at least is a return to (Bungie's) form I felt it was worthwhile to work up. This model is intended for pepakura so some of the small details have been omitted for sake of paper assembly.

Before the mark VI's orbit fall survival mode there was the re-entry unit. For this model, the two cylindrical aiming boosters are separate parts to help ease paper assembly. I've left the back semi open but with structural bracing so you can reach in and still have good support built in. You can add more support if needed and close off the openings after assembly and hardening if you so desire (although an opening might allow one hide a magnum in there).

...Needler from Reach.

Nice models you've made there I notice this thread is really quiet so I hope this will get more attention in the future. People could have use of the package and needler in conventions and stuff, I'm sure of it :3 Great work! Keep it up!

are their holes in the Needler top for where the needles go in? If so that'd be awesome. I've been thinking of making a needler, with clear acrylic needles that are base lighted from within the body of the gun. But I want to be able to build one that has a few needles already shot out of it for a possible costume set idea.

I've been trying to download the Reach Package but when i click on download file now it ends up saying the connection has timed out. And i've been trying for awhile now with the same results. But when i go to download the needler it works fine. I've tried in both IE and Mozilla Firefox.

REVISION UPDATE:

I've revised the tabs in the unfold for the package to make it easier to assemble.

Currently there are no recesses at the top of the model for the insertion of needles, the needles are just protrusions from the top's surface. It is an intriguing idea to include the recesses with the pepakura, though.

Try again. Sometimes 4shared can be finicky (not sure if it's a bandwidth issue or what). I've tried with Firefox and Safari and have found success.

I have been waiting for the needler as I love the thing. It is great for catching someone who jumps around constantly, or evades. I could just snipe them out of the air with a DMR, but its just so funny to see them explode. That is why I love the needle carbine, because Its a DMR, and a Needler! You have inspired me to model the needle carbine!

The Needler is awesome, thanks a bunch for it!~ Gonna have to make it now. :33

Very nice model! I took a look at the pep and I don't think that there would be any reason to include recesses. It would unnecessarily complicate the model when cutting out recesses in the bondoed model would be far easier and produce better results. Keep up the good work!

Satchmo awesome files. I was wondering if you are planning on oputting together a reach PLasma Repeater? I have a couple of ref pics (still need at least two more angles). Iwas going to try my hand at an HD version. but i started building my art studio an just fel out of it.
