Foam Reach Security Suit. (Quest for the Best)

[Benton188]

I've had my white and yellow suit for some time now, built it back in 2016, and since I've had it I've gone through 2 helmets, 2 sets of thighs, 3 cod pieces, and various other pieces. Looking at you shin pieces that need fixed every time . But now after the release of Halo Reach on MCC, and access to better files, I plan to rebuild the suit from the ground up and make it as accurate as possible.
I've already started on a few pieces, including the helmet and the chest piece, and I've gotten some help in 3D printing a visor buck to be formed. Always got to pick the hardest and rarest helmets out there, I don't know why I do this to myself lol.
How the suit currently looks. Not many details, not so great undersuit, and the helmet is of an old file with the wrong visor.
The new helmet from a more recent file from the game. Better details, though some more are still needed, and has the attachments as well. Visor buck is inserted as well to show what it will eventually look like, plan to have it in gold with the mirror finish.
New chest piece.
Comparison to the old chest piece. Yeah, I'd say there's some differences lol.

New upgrades are looking great!

If you're shooting for "game accurate" I notice that there's a couple details that aren't on the new chest piece. The game has 2 shield emitters on the right side of the front panel, as well as a rectangularish thing on the left. There's also an I/O panel on the ribcage, but admittedly I'm missing the dials on mine. Torso's looking great though! Huge upgrade over the other one!

Isn't it a good thing that i couldn't tell? That means you did an amazing job on accuracy

That totally looks like RandomRanger got himself killed and then went into theater mode and photographed the dead body on the ground.

Thanks Ranger, the reason I left those out though is because I'm adding the UA Base Security attachment onto the chest eventually. Effectively the add on will cover up those pieces so I don't think I'll be needing them, thanks for the heads up though. Plus, you gave me these files so feel free to smack me back in line more often if I miss something again lol

 

[RandomRanger]

Ahh no worries. If it's getting covered up then there's no real reason to add them.

 

[Rock Lobbster]

He's off on a quest!
Why yes we've had first suit?
But what about 2nd suit?
I look forward to seeing your new suit (and waiting you to blow me out of the water)

UPDATE!!
Just finished the biceps and shoulder attachments this past weekend. Rock Lobbster is kindly printing me some more rifle bullets to go on the sniper shoulder. I'm also learning that my chest piece and the Security shoulder do not get along well when worn together lol. May need to figure something out on that one. Up next is the forearms and hand plates, and I'm also working on a new weapon, the M319 Grenade Launcher.

 

[RandomRanger]

Nice! Hard part of the build's out of the way now xD
Looking forward to more updates

 

[Rusty 714]

Lookin good benton

 

[Meritorious]

looking good, this is going to be amazing when you are done. keep up the good work

 

[Benton188]

UPDATE!!
The forearms are coming along nicely. They still need a few more 3mm details added, but already a huge step up from the old ones. Everyone told me the arms are the most difficult part, and I can see why, but with one more forearm and the hand plates to make I'm pretty much done with them already. Next after these I want to try and make both the knives from foam. I really don't want printed ones, especially since the weight of the kukri will try and drag the shoulder down fierce.

 

[RandomRanger]

Wow, so much better!

Looking forward to meeting with our new suits

Looking forward to meeting with our new suits

We can hope this to be true.

 

[Benton188]

UPDATE!!
UA Base Security plate added onto the chest piece. Combat Knife also built and added onto the chest piece. Made the Kukri Knife and added it to the Security Shoulder. And lastly made the hand plates, though they may need to be remade they might be too small. Next up is the cod piece, then it's on to the legs.
