Halo 3: Shipmaster (Half Jaw) Build W.I.P!!

[LockedProps]

Hello all!

There's an Elite sized hole in my heart, so today marks day one of filling it!

I plan to complete The Shipmaster (his name is Rtas Vadum so lets go with that from now on) by February 2018 just in time for RTX Sydney.

Thanks for looking, I'll be updating this thread regularly over the next 3 months!

Dude, sorry about the hole in your heart...........Lets hope you get it filled by Feb.......otherwise it's going to be a bit more painful. Happy Early Valentine's Day.....

Rtas is one of my favorite Covenant characters. Love his scene with the Arbiter in the Dropship in Halo 2.

Build looks nice and clean so far. Will be keeping an eye on your progress, and good luck!

I cut off Rtas' left mandables (poor guy). Still working out details and positioning of the face, but so far so good.

I hardly have the perseverance to create a set of spartan armor, i cannot imagine what it takes to make a fully fledged rtas cosplay, I hope that heart of yours gets filled.... but i mean your heart must be pretty big... your looking at a 7ft tall hole in your heart.

Now take your image of a 7 foot tall heart and imagine how tall he must be

Anyway HeadLocks nice work so far, hoping to see more soon

Torso base is built \owo/

I just realised how much time I don't have to get this done so let the grind commence.

Looking good,

Arms are built. I think I'm going to redo the shoulders and make them a little bigger.

It's good to see this starting to come together!

Oh man, this is turning out great! Do you plan on making the legs bend backwards like they do or you going to keep it simple?

Yep I'll be trying to sell the effect of digitigrade legs as best I can. Hopefully I'll make a start on those in the next couple of weeks!

Shins and feet! (stilts are w.i.p)

Currently working on thigh armor and starting to work on sculpting the hands.

I have like 2 weeks to get this whole suit done, I'm moving house soon.

 

[LockedProps]

I can almost test fit the entire Elite!

From here I need to make the shoulders around 15-20% larger, add details to all the armor pieces and finalize my stilts.

Things are looking good and I'm making good time. I will be ready for RTX Sydney!

 

[PaiganBoi]

Your build is looking awesome. I especially love the way you built the legs.

 

[LockedProps]

Thank you!

If there is one thing I wanted to get right in this build, it was getting the legs to look digitigrade.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

WOW, those are some big ass feet!!! Great job man. Looking forward to seeing this finished.

 

[Cadet]

WOW, those are some big ass feet!!

What was the name of that Halo 2 mission? "Your ass, my size 24 hoof?"

 

[Hein B287]

"Your ass, my size 24 hoof?"

start of the last mission: the great journey. you get ready to steal a scarab together with rtas vadum

 

[LockedProps]

Finally got it all together (pretty much all of it anyway).

I plan to complete this within the week!
