Getting Started On My Mark V Build

[midnightdrive29]

Hello everyone!
I am new here and like almost everyone I wanted to work on a halo reach Mark V armor but with the Commander helmet, HP/Halo Chest, I do want to do the Halo Infinite Chimera Alpha Augmentor for shoulder pads but can't find any template for it at the moment. I have all the materials, tools, and basically all of the templates besides the shoulder pads that I will need to use for this project, even watched a few videos on YouTube for tips and tricks on working on this, the other issue I am currently having at the moment is how I want to do the armor coatings, not sure how I want to do it but, I do have the colors I want which is the Montana Black Lenox, Montana Gold Shrimp Dark and debating either the Krylon Pistachio or the Montana Gold Venom. Hopefully I can get this done for the Nebraska Comic Con (I'm also new to doing conventions so kind of nervous about it but excited!)
-Thanks Kaileigh or Kael!

Respect the effort! The planning phase is where I paused a while on my first build, so it sounds like you're ready to jump into this. For the shoulders you can either commission them, use game rips (not recommended), or just free hand them. I'd hold out on making them happen just in case you change your mind about it later into the process. I had no idea I was gonna make half the things I did for my ODST tbh
