Halo 3 - Custom High Detail Models

[Nicktendo]

Just a quick question, Is the piece above the chin part, that little rectangle/trapizoid thing, is that angled for Master Chief's curved visor, or our straight down visor?

Ooh, this is a good point. I think making the "nose" piece for a flat visor (even in a different version?) would take this to a whole new level of perfection. =D

 

[flying squirl]

Ive Decided to start the chest after all,

Heres a pic for scale (do you think its ok?)

Heres an early progress pic

Thats it with you helmet (will you be keeping the old helm up?)

Thanks FS u RULZ!

DEAR LORD!WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?!!! looks like a good fit. any more pics?

EDIT:yup, ill be keeping it up there.

I can't imagine how hard it'd be to try and do that piece if you were to remove it and add the details to your undersuit, I'm nowhere near big enough to fill the chest completely so it would just look odd because of the rather large gap between the front of the chest armor and my undersuit.
Also I would imagine that it would be a bit of a pain trying to line up the details correctly every time you put the chest on.

yea, i thinks ide leave it too. also it helps it hold it shape when its getting glassed.

ohhhhhh, good point! i wouldn't have spotted that. ill add a bit onto it. its always better to have to cut away then try to add.

this is the second time I'm typing this. ugh

OK, the new helmet is comming along grand and its looking good.
here's stuff to do with it:

the struts are back and their back with a vengeance.

as you probably know, this model has templates which can be cut out in thick card and stuck onto the model for the detailed parts

there isn't a texture but most of the templates 'click' into place so there wont be much confusion

the neck opening is right-ish. (it doesn't have the foam) so it should be easier to get on and off without needing to cut away the excess.

like the last one the thin lines that go around the helmet ant modeled in but where the are is in the topography of the model.

the model will be cutup but the pieces wont be organised. i wont be able to do it if you want it by this weekend.

i think thats about it

any problems, gimme a shout,

FS

[Sinjinsmiley]

Sounds great FS

Oh and I noticed that you've put the phrase "final helmet" into the topic description.
Now are you sure you want to commit to such an extent
After all are you sure we wont find a FS Final Helm v2 come out should a screenshot appear with a totally new piece of detail

Only kidding, looking forward to seeing the rest of the pieces (Space Diaper woot!!)

Can't wait to start putting this thing together! Plus we have a 3 day weekend, so this is perfect!

 

[shadow8136]

Yes you can. These are pictures of my younger brother (By one minute. Hehehe) wearing my armor. He is much smaller than me. I'm 6'1", and he's 5'10". He's also a skinny little twig compared to me so the armor is way to big for him. He keeps trying to convince me that it is just the right size though and that he should just keep this one. The lower torso I got from Slyfo's collection. (I forgot to scale it so it doesn't come close to fitting me.). Luckily, it wasn't a complete waste because I'm building my brother a complete suit for Christmas. Luckily he doesn't come on this forum or else he would ruin the surpirse!

Here are some pics of the armor by itself.

You posted at the perfect time. I was just going to put my first layer of fiberglass on. I can't wait for the next helmet.
P.S. Take a guess where I live. It shouldn't be to hard if you look at the first few pics in my brother's room.

u didnt even scale it huh? it looks huge the reason Squirl divided that is to split it and put it on like a clip or somethin

Awesome. I did some measuring, and I'm now totally at ease with the scale I've chosen. (After three completed pep helms...) Even though I'm doing your chest right now, I still can't wait for this, haha.

 

[Axelh92]

Can't wait to assemble the helmet you're working on!

 

[Primal Weyland]

If there's Recon in the offing, I do want please.

Woot! Looks like I'm dropping everything I'm doing right now and take a crack at unfolding this one.

The final version looks so pretty I'm might actually put this one together. :not worthy:

 

[raven2751]

WOOT i'm the 7th person to dl it and me likey alot

thanks fs for all the hard work it's been well worth the wait

so when to start on the space diaper

 

[Spartan 061]

And I just started my other one. Oh well. AWESOME. WORK. YOU. ROCK!

 

[rachciav]

another one! i almost finished making your last helm! *sigh* it looks really good tho! cant wait till its unfolded.

 

[Robogenisis]

Looks great. I was the 17th one to download it, but only because I was playing Halo 3 with you
Are you going to unfold it all the way, or do we need to do that? I'm going to unfold it my own way right now though, because I can't wait for you to unfold it to print it out

 

[HellraizrS88]

holy crap there are so many small pieces in the torso... ive been cutting for hours and i still have fifteen pages of parts to go! man this is gonna take forever... but judging from the results others are gettin, itll be worth the time
