That would look like a sick battle damage mark! Unintentional plasma burn

What's up 405th! I'm back with some progress on my helmet. So the painting is (mostly) finished.
So the biggest addition is the blue portion on top but I've also added little silver scratches to the edges of the helmet and finished black washing the top. Finally added a matte clear coat to get rid of some of the shine. Now on to the "mostly" I said earlier, I guess I didn't coat the bottom of the helmet properly so the paint down there has slowly worn down to the plastic so I need to fix that.
But wait there's more! I've complained about my ears needing to be pressed to my head to get this thing on so what better way to fix this than removing more ear room! I'm kidding kind of what I've really done is add a pair of head phones to the helmet.
So here it is I haven't added the ear padding yet but I'm pretty happy with it right now. I do plan on covering the electronics soon I just don't know if I want to print it or maybe use card board.
So that's all for now.

Ok some non-helmet progress has been made starting with the chest piece.
The front has been primed and bondoed but still needs a little work. The shield emitters don't exist on this model, but I plan on fixing that by adding some pouches in their place. The back is being sanded and I might bust the seem in the middle so I can align it better. Next a knee piece.
I had a little filament left over after the chest piece was done printing, so I printed this. I was printing a second but ran out of filament about 70-75% of the way done. Anyway, all that's left for this is a black wash and a clear coat. Now for the final bit of stuff I've printed.
The thigh piece for my Right leg. It's still being printed but 4 out of 6 pieces are currently printed. also due to a mistake I made some major work needs to be done on a spot on the lower leg. That's all for this update.

No progress for this post.
SPOILERS FOR the beginning of "Halo: The Rubicon Protocol"
Today is my birthday and as a gift my mom got me The Rubicon Protocol and I noticed that the book starts on my birthday, but the beginning of the book is also the day the Infinity fell. I just started reading the book, but I saw the date and thought "wow what a coincidence". After finding this out I think it would be hilarious if my spartan was on the Infinity celebrating before he got a birthday ambush.

So, I have what I consider to be "kinda progress" progress. Nothing new printed but I decided to dip my toe into some 3d modeling and made the MK V shoulder from Reach.
I actually learned a lot from this like I didn't know slicers automatically triangulated surfaces, so I had to go back and fix the model. I didn't know what to do with the back, so I just made it flat and solid. It's not perfect but I'm going to use it.
