Plans/questions!!! Elite build, look inside!!!

[Shadowofintent]

Hello everyone,

I'm a long-time Halo player/covenant lover, haha. I am really interested in Halo costume building & have quite a bit of costuming experience as well as experience in creating Halo armor. That being said, I wanted to take a different route by creating an Elite build. Some of you may already know about my other thread discussing my Elite ranger build, but that's just armor. What I'd really like to create is a full Elite Minor Costume, Elite Minor from Reach, that is.

but unfortunately there are no existing pepakura files for it's armor, or head. So I'm contemplating building this as a scratch, foam-build assisted by latex appliances. for the head & hands. If more experienced members have any other ideas, or knowledge of pep files for this armor, let me know & leave your comments below, I wish I could leave you with progress but unfortunately this is still only an idea, with that. Again, let me know what you think & have a wonderful day 405-ers!!!

DBmike: thank you so much!

Omni shift: where are these files? I've seen H1-3 grunts but I've seen no elites from Reach(except a couple helmets & Satchmo's elite ranger armor) & no jackal armor.

With your elite give him a plasma repeater, I've seen how good u are at pepakura, I know you can make it!
And Mabey a human skull to go with it as its first real kill

heres are some http://search.4shared.com/q/1/halo elite?view=ls&suggested

and heres more http://www.sharaget.com/h/halo+elite+pepakura+files'

some will say left shoulder, or right but dont let that bother you. all you have to do is invert it and you have that for the opposite side.

Croc co: that would be an awesome idea! I need to mold a skull anyway for a Haunted helm that my buddy wants, so this would be an excellent use for it!

& Omni shift: thanks a lot brotha, although I don't know how to invert pep files. Can you show me how to do it?

for inverting (i believe this only works with pep designer) you just go to the 2d menu and then click invert, not sure if its in a sub category tho
hope it helps

If you want the skull I have one somewhere

And omni shift I've edited a halo 2 elite head to look like reaches and your first link has my stuff in it
Which is also in my model thread- croc cos model thread

 

[onmi shift]

yea i saw that but its such a pain trying to find files in here so i googled it and saw some 405th work.

 

[Shadowofintent]

Actually, croc co! If you could send me a file for the skull that would be awesome! I can sculpt an actual head around that!

Well that's cool,
I got bored so I've started to make my custom noble six spartan
Made my own Emile arm attachment! Horay
