Why is there a perfect meme for everything
Because when you are doing everything right, everyone has cataracts, but when you mess up, everyone has 20/20 vision.

Back in my day this used to be a Reach build thread... I'm not entirely sure what it is now

I now have kneepads! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
If I'm not paying attention to the jetpack...

The last post (for a while)
I was able to do an (almost) full suit up before I headed off to college. A bit disappointed I wasn't able to complete the full suit but that's what I get for taking a bit of time off to focus on other stuff. The goal is to finish it whenever I'm home from college! The only thing left to build is the boots!

I guess this is technically an update on my Reach stuff. I printed a big ol chonkin splazer for the armor.
250 hours on the printer
3kg of filament
Total weight is 7.3lbs
Also happy (belated) 10th birthday Reach!

Alright it's time for updates. First one is that I finished my legs and sealed all the armor with kwik seal and also heatsealed all of it!

Next up, painting! In the span of 3 day weekend I painted and weathered my entire suit (would not recommend).
I used Rust-Oleum Rustic Orange for the orange color and Rus-Oleum winter gray for the grey/off white bits. Plastidip for the base coat.
Went back afterwards and used Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics for the detail parts with my airbrush.
Weathering was done with watered down black acrylic paint and an old t shirt then went back with a small brush and mixed brown, black, and silver together to create a shiny brownish part for the chipping. (seen off ingame screenshots on MCC)

Make er shiny! I used RandomRanger Wiring Guide found here for the LEDs on my suit (forgot to take pics of the thigh armor, whoops).

Alas, here we are! My custom Reach Spartan Lobbster-098 is complete (for the most part). Last thing to do is to go back to Ashuraa's and get the keyholes put into the undersuit. I also have some small improvements like some more LEDs and a few different helmets and shoulderpads.
