Hi everyone, I've been a member here since July 2013.
I lurked around here for some time but finally decided to register to show you what I've been up to.
So back in the beginning of june 2013 I decided to start my first spartan armor build going the way of pepakura-fiberglass-body filler. I think the best way to give you an idea of how it's coming along is with lots of pictures. In this thread you will find my work in progress shots as I slowly make my way to completion. I'm trying extremely hard to hold myself to a very high standard. No rough work will make the grade.
So come in and check it out, your support is always welcome as well as any ideas or suggestions you may have.

Edits to thread of note:
9/1/2013 - I broke all the pictures links so I had to fix them and I cleaned up my first post to streamline the display of my project.
9/26/2013 - Moved all pictures to flickr, photobucket was trying to limit my bandwidth so I jumped ship. Flickr is a much better system anyway. I still need to switch over all pictures in the thread to Flickr links, till I do pictures will stay up on photobucket.
3/29/2013 - Finally got around to changing all pics in this thread over to flickr, my photobucket use is discontinued. Did general thread maintenance as well.
