I've got a model request... I can unfold it myself, but there currently isn't a model for it yet. Hopefully this is the right place to ask for such a thing.
Item Name: Mjolnir Mk. V Concept Torso
Item Source: Bungie
Details: I'm looking for somewhat of a hybridized design of the Mk. V concepts used for both Halo 2 and Halo Reach.
I'm really quite fond of the front of the torso that is in Reach, however, when compared to the Halo 2 Concepts, it lacks the raised protrusions of the backpack that we are familiar with seeing on the Mark VI (Halo 3).
1) I'm hoping for is possibly a modified version of an existing Reach chest, that would have the raised vents at the top of the backpack.
2) I would also like it if the torso wasn't as bulky as you see in Reach. It seems to stick out much further front & back than other variations of the Mjolnir Armor.
If it had the side profile of what you see looking at Halo 4's Mark V variant it would be pretty awesome. It still has massive arm gaps, but it definitely doesn't seem to stick out as far.
I'm not sure how smoothly trying to just piece together the front half of the Reach torso with the back half of the Halo 3 torso would go (building from Foam), which is why I'm making this request.
I definitely think it would be possible to use the front from Reach and the back from Halo 3 to accomplish the design, but it'll definitely require some cleaning up so that the model looks good.
NOTE: I do not need any models of the Ab/Stomach plates, I have that covered, I just need the torso.
Considerations: I will be making it out of foam, and I would like it if the back of the torso still had room for Reach's Armor Ability Module

Reference Images:
The 1st image is what I'm going for the most, already have plans for a custom undersuit and the bonus upper bicep/deltoid armor. I hope to make those thighs eventually, but for now I think I'll start with the standard thighs.
Images 2 and 3 are also Reach concepts, though their shoulders extend up a little too far for my liking.
Images 4, 5, and 6 are Halo 2 Concepts, I definitely love the raised shoulders on Image 4.
Image 7 is another Reach concept that was further developed for the game, and it lacks the raised shoulders.
Image 8 is another Reach concept with an alternative example of the raised shoulder look.
Image 9 is a 3D model created by SgtHK; he has not distrubuted it, but it is definitely inspired a lot by the Mk. V variations.

Please PM me or respond below if you are willing to try this. I'd simply enjoy knowing that someone might be working on it since I'm actively working on my build right now.
