Hello masters of the prop making community! Let me introduce myself a little, My name is Jen(Based on what most of my firends call me) and Im a GUY and NOT a girl(Just to make things clear...). I am from a place really far away from most of you prop makers out there, im from Malaysia! I'm 16 when this was posted and I'm a very skinny person XD. Based on the title you can tell that this is about my Halo 4 Orbital chest piece! Since i was young, ive always liked making stuff...From Lego to paper guns to paper Armor! roughly two years ago, i started to have an interest in making props and stuff and i have made several guns such as the Reach magnum and so on. My first pepakura model was the CE pistol which was a complete failure(From what i think) but i didnt give up and from there i kept improving until how i am right now. Without you guys' help, i could not have reached here :) These were the early stages of the armor... Enjoy and leave a comment on what do you guys think! let me tinker with this for a while while i try to find a way to post images!

While your checking out my armor progress, do visit and drop a like on my page https://www.facebook.com/AuthenticHaloArt perhaps? :)

Front Chest piece painted!! Much to my dismay, i can't find my Banner Red paint ANYWHERE!!!! so i found the colour closest to it, Cherry Red. turns out it's slightly different from Banner Red and that annoys me cause i have to repaint the whole chest piece. No, it's not warped hehe...
 
Thanks for your feedback! i prefer letting ppl see my pictures right away rather than asking them to click links.. I'll try!
 
If you go to edit signature in your profile settings, you can insert URL's into it and change the formatting to most whatever you'd like.
 
Hey, we seen to have a lot in common haha I'm 16 and skinny as well :)

Anyways I'll pressure you with a subscription, and lwill just say it's hard. I've been working on the Recon helmet for 2 months now and it's still not as good as I want it to be.

Also I recommend embedding your pictures, photobucket makes things really easy. On the right of your picture on photobucket you should see for bars with lots of letters

It is coming along nicely. I have to say Ive never seen anyone use the foam over the fiberglass in place of bondo before, but you seem to have made it work for your application. Did you use a plasti-dip or did you just paint over the foam?
 
Looks great so far! I was actually trying to figure out is you were using foam or card stock for that chest piece lol
 
I actually painted over the foam.... its hard to find plastidip and its really expensive here. Nothing bad happened.
