For those of you who dont know who I am - Hello! I'm Danielle and these are my previous Halo suits:

A Reach suit is something I planned to build before I built Chief or Kelly, and something I have been so slowly working towards since I started cosplaying nearly 5 years ago and now as January 2017 I finally started construction, although I'm late to start a thread because as you'll come to learn, I'm pretty garbage and remembering to post anywhere other than instagram.
I decided that for this build I would try my best to video document the build to release upon the completion of the suit so that people can see exactly how much goes into the build, and I plan not to leave out any of the frustrated crying the week of the con because I procrastinated and stuff like that. I wanted a true documentation of the entire progress, so upon completing the suit the build log will be available to view and will be linked here.
So with all that aside, my goal is a presentable enough to be worn (and worn well) suit for Sydney Supanova this June.
So far I have constructed the base of the shins and the left thigh.
Time wise I did all my unfolding and some rough scaling in January. On the 16th of February I managed to have both shins wearable, and today the 11th of March I finished the left thigh to a wearable point, neither have been detailed or cleaned up as of yet though.
If I'm being honest the shins are some of my messiest work, and I know exactly why, not building for a year will do that to you. The secret is dont stop building.
I will try my hardest to remember to keep this updated, but honestly the best way to keep up would be instagram, although that wont be nearly as in depth as this will hopefully be so idk, if you're so inclined all my social medias are st the bottom and you can harass me to update this thread on all of them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread, hopefully this wasn't a total snooze. I'll be back soon to lull you all to sleep with my other thigh maybe tomorrow
