This has gotta be one of the greatest Reach Cosplays I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see it finished.

This is super informative and inspirational! I'm just getting familiar with building a Spartan suit for myself. You've done a stellar job! Just have to source files/materials. Thank you for sharing your work with us all!

Thank you!!!!! It was so great to meet you at DragonCon!!
Thank you!!!! After wearing it I'm both surprised at how well some things held together, and at the unexpected pieces that are struggling lol
Thank you so much, thats so nice!!! Same here, seeing the unpainted foam is such a cool part of the process!!I'm convinced that you aren't a builder, you're a magician.
This is absolutely incredible work, wow...
I also am liking the black and white foam, it looks so clean it's almost a shame to paint it
Thank you so much, thats such a great compliment!!!!
Ahh thank you!!!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad its helped you with your craft!!!
Alright guys, I got the suit wearable for Dragoncon this past weekend!! I'll take the time pretty soon to get this updated with the last couple months of work and some more "finished" photos. This build definitely isn't done yet, I had to put off some undersuit details, and most armor attachments to have it wearable for the con, but it was so awesome to get to wear it and have it look like a finished suit, and especially to get to hang out with my 405th peeps again.
Without further ado, some on the go photos of the current state of this suit by Lunaractual (who kept me hydrated and snapped pics the whole time), dmr by mwmanus , and outer visor layer by NobleofDeath16 . Also huge shout out to my sister for always helping me get suited up, communicate, stay alive, and look the best that I can in photos, and to my brother for getting some dope video content. And a thank you to my husband for helping me so much in the last few weeks when I needed an extra set of hands to try things on, usually late at night during my peak crafting time

This came out so amazing. The seamless transitions between parts are so good. And the robotic arm is such a cool addition.

Yess girl! It was soooooo beautiful in person. I have so many questions I am trying to hold back because the proportions and everything is so perfect, it blows my mind!
Seriously though, I cannot praise this build enough and it was absolutely worth the time you put into it. Cannot wait to see more photos in the future!

I have followed you for a long time on this build and seeing the finished or almost finished build is like, really super exciting. It's not even my build and I feel that "wow i'm really pleased with how this came out" feeling. As KaeSpoon said, this blows my mind, and I would love to know how every little thing works! Your build is absolutely beyond words and looks fantastic. Keep up the phenomenal work!

Only just seeing these replies for some reason!!
Thank you so much!! It always feel incredibly disorganized so I'm glad I'm able to translate what I'm doing through here and others are actually understanding it xD
Ahh thank you, that's so kind to say!!!
That's so great to hear, thank you so much!! Good luck with your build! It can be overwhelming to start but seeing stuff come together is so fun
oh wow thank you so much!!! That's so good to hear, I'd love for this to help people out!!

Thank you!!!!
Hehehh or in like 90% of its glory! Gotta get to finishing touches sometime soon!
Thank you!!! So happy it can be helpful for future builds!!
Ahh thank you so much!! That was a huge thing I was trying to accomplish, a full body look where the undersuit didn't feel like a totally separate thing, so thats amazing to hear.
Thank you so much!!! Your support has been soo appreciated! It took quite a bit of building and rebuilding but its good to know it paid off for the proportions! I cant wait to see your build progress as well!!
Omg your comment is so nice, thank you so much!! It makes me so so happy to see other people invested in this, and it makes the work even more worth it. I will try to go into depth and give you guys more insight on the inner workings (and failings after finally wearing it lol) soon!! You definitely made my day
Thank you so much!!! It's been a journey getting this undersuit wearable but hopefully my attempts can be a big help for future builds!!

Thank you for sharing. I'm going to be emulating your undersuit. I'm going to break down and do a duct tape dummy of myself too. I see a lot of duct tape in my future. Great job documenting the process

This is amazing! Seeing the entire process as your working on it makes me even more excited to make a spartan suit myself! Couldn't possibly rate this any less than 11/10!

Amazing work!!! That undersuit looks soooo clean. Did you end up stitching it all together in the end or is the made up of multiple pieces? I’m looking to mimic how you did it for my build. Soooo good
