First Build (Halo: Reach) Mk:V

[Crows Carrion]

So this project will hopefully be something fun to do with my time. The first thing I hope to get done is the helmet, which will be Hazop. My first choice was EOD but, I wanted to change up my armor last minute. I hope the process goes somewhat smoothly.

Ive recently built my Mk5 armour based on Carter from Halo Reach and it was fun. something youll learn along the way is that improvisation is key in certain places. I used Pepakura alot and 3D printed most bits

I fully support the choice of EOD, but HAZOP is cool too. Have you tried doing some mock-ups to help choose armor pieces?

Yes, I have chosen. I will be doing a HAZOP right shoulder and a Commander left shoulder with the HP/Halo chest piece. The rest is default.

What methods do you think you will choose to use to build your armor?

I will pretty much be following N8TEBB's tutorial in terms of build methods.

So been about time for an update, for the month of August thing were going quite well I got both shoulders cut out by the end of month but that's when the first of my bad luck started. The heat gun that I was going to use decided to die a few minutes after powering it on by catching its self on fire. So after that I of course then realized that I was using two different thicknesses of EVA foam, yayyyyyy. Those little hiccups will set me back a little bit, but I have both the Helmet an Waist on the foam. That's all, for now,, at least.

So things are back on track, Goodwill has delivered yet again but, this update is a small question about the paint job below are three paint designs
that I am considering the top left is based on Troupe Master Grimm from Hollow Knight, the top right is what my go to color scheme of primary green and secondary gold, and lastly the bottom left is the warship collage camo from Titanfall 2. One of these might not be my final choice but I would like to hear which one is preferred.

I LOVE the mashup of Hollow Knight with the helmet. It’s obviously something you really care about if you’re considering it and it brings a great personal touch to your armor and makes it unique.
