My Forward Unto Dawn Master Chief Build

[Reclaimara]

Oh DAMN! This is some sweet and sexy armor! O_O
I prefer your work over the movie version tbh. It looks sick!
I can't wait for more photos. *_*

Nice detailed work on you armor looks awsome from what you have shown us keep it up.

 

[ErMaC]

Fine job so far. The detail is awesome

 

[BPipkin]

When it looks better than the movie version you know you got mad skills,and this is deffinantly the case!

 

[Thefabricator]

good job bud! looks really good

Wow, thank you guys for all of these compliments! I don't think my stuff is that great, so I'm quite shocked and flattered that you guys are enjoying this thread and the progress that much It's certainly inspiring!!


So, on to another update. THIGHS! These were a bit tricky, and also fun, because the pep file lacked pretty much all detail and I had to improvise lots of foam pieces to make up for all the missing characteristics of this piece. I should really screen shot what the pep file looks like, because it looks very far from what I ended up with. Unfortunately I didn't take any good progress pics of these because at the time, I didn't have a working camera to use :/ But, you can now seem them in their finished form, along again with a comparative photo from Legends and a picture of a render of the armor. Check it:











Lemme know what you guys think!

I need to see this thing finished!

How can you not think your stuff is that great? Trust me, I've seen quite a few pep suit builds, and yours is definitely really good! I mean, these armor pieces look better than the ones in the FUD movie!
The built in LED's look really cool as well!! Keep up the awesome work! Thumbs up for Details! :thumbsup

Marc, this came out beautifully, can't wait to see it at C2!

This looks so accurate, I would have thought you worked at Legacy with this build quality. Great build, and equally amazing paint job to boot!

Nice work

 

[kaween]

I swear, this is one of the best armors I've ever seen.
Details, details, details everywhere.

Thank you so much!! Mine isn't as great as many others I've seen, but I try! And yes...ALL THE DETAILS! Details just make it all the more accurate and real looking

Damn, that's seriously the nicest thing anyone has ever said about what I've made. Thank you x a million!


Well, I've got a few update pictures for you all. Nothing exciting, but I've got the spine all worked out. Gonna get some paint on it tomorrow so it'll look a lot cooler than it does now in plain white foam form lol.





And I added a foam detail I was missing to the chest lock area:

Will add more tomorrow!

Alright, got the cod piece all painted up, detailed, and weathered. Enjoy! Also, reference picture for comparison:

 

[Chiefwannabe]

This is amazing!

 

[Srstryker]

Look wicked!

Haha, thanks Chief! I don't know about that, but thank you for the flattering compliment



Also have a few new photos for an update. Got the spine all painted and weathered. Next step will be to attach each piece to an elastic strap, and attach to my back piece and underarmor. Here are some kinda boring pics:






Enjoy for now, will have an update on the attachment hopefully later this week.
