Ok! so ive been on break for a while. But here is 3/4 of a pepped boot. IDK wether or not to continue because they seems a little bit small... anyway. Take a look and tell me what you think about the scale please!
Thankyou, I'm not sure how I am goingto be connecting the chest piece together, at the moment I just try it on because I'm able to wriggle my way into it because I left one side unglued. I'm 70% sure that I will be cutting it at the "hinge" areas at the top (where most people cut it,) and then on the bottom of the side where I made adjustments. - Then I'll mount buckles to the inside to be able to snap it on in two pieces. My only worry about this method is that I'm not to sure about at what stage i should do it (cut it before resining? after resining? mount buckles before fiberglassing? etc.) and my other concern is that the areas where I make the cut will show very easily.Just caught wind of this thread. Very impressive. It really makes me want to finish my current build so I can start the mk Vi. But I see your working on your chest piece (which in my experience is the most dreadful piece all around...). If it helps, I added hinges onto my mk V chest half way up around the collar, or where the front chest plate connects to the back-pack piece. It helps keep the whole chest apparatus inline with itself when wearing or taking it off. I'm not sure what method you were going for to connect the two pieces (unless you can simply squirm into it without separation!) but I feel hinges work better than some of the nylon strapping methods I've seen so far. Again, if it helps
Anywho, awesome build and yet another mk VI project making me antsy to start my own. Keep up the great work!
You know, the chest piece looks great; your cutting job definitely improved the fit. As for too wide, I'm leaning towards maybe not...? The chest piece is so central, you really gotta compare it to the rest of your armour to be sure if it's the right size or not. I thought my chest piece was perfect, but now it looks too small compared to the helmet. Or it's vice versa. Point is, maybe make the helmet and then determine from there if your chest piece needs re-pepping...?
The boots do...look kinda a bit small. It's so hard to tell without the rest of the armour to compare it to, eh? Try staring at a Mk VI picture for a long time and burn it into your brain. I did that! No side effects, either --*SCREAMS*--...er, sorry.
wow looks great, keep up the fantastic work =D
btw i kinda just made this thread and you have 15 pages and i made my thread so long ago, i started when the first reach files came out and i just got 15 pages xD i am very slow at this =P
I love this build, I just haven't had time to post until now. I'm really liking the progress.
On the proportions, you're right about the boot, it's a tad large. However, the rest of the armor pieces seem like a good size. The shin could stand to be reduced by maybe 10%, but it looks fine as it is now.
Thankyou I appreciate the support . Yeah the boot is def big, I've tried 2 scales for it and one was too small. I think that with boots, suits look better when theyre big but I think mine is noticeably big. I'm glad that you think that the rest is in proportion, although everyone has been telling me that the shin needs to be bigger ( I was goingto remake it using halogoddess's female mk 6 shin model) I was told that it wasn't long enough, which I agree with.
Thankyou for the feedback!
Ive heard that if you measure your shoe from heel to toe that you can use that measurement to scale your boot. But I havent tried that myself, though it sounds right.
The shins could be a little longer, but I was worried about the width going out of whack. Also, if you check out Longshot's build, his shins seem a little short, but because he added a spacer and kept them proportionate to his body/rest of the armor, they look fantastic. If you can use Halogoddess's file to make the shin longer without being too wide, then go for it
haha well its mainly because I started the thread right when I started my build (so I have a lot of posts as I progress.) Another thing is that I post waaaay to much, like, everytime I pep a small piece i document / post it lol.
