I have a delicious helmet sitting on my desk now.

New Helm

 

[Chevysrule]

Of course, all these amazing files for Reach get released the week I run out of cardstock. But I will resupply soon, for sure. Can't wait to download the chest piece, thanks Rundown!

 

[Brandon McClain]

Glad to see someone has finished it. How was it to put together? I am putting together a bit of a smoother unfold, but I would love some feedback so I can know where it needs improvement.

It was tough to be honest. The detailing on the cheeks and the other tiny boxes were annoying to attach and the detailing on the back was a little difficult too. It would probably be easier if I had smaller hands.

That looks badass Rock!!!



I want to build one now!!

Man, Rundown you are awesome...so what can we expect the whole armor by next week at this pace?

 

[Brandon McClain]

I would check out the smoother unfold, it should be easier, eliminates like half the folds, and its cleaned up a bunch. Still don't think its perfect, but it should be way better. Its the one I am doing. Oh, and Rundown, still watching like a hawk for the chest and what not. I AM SUPER STOKED!!!!

The area around the Front "nose" doesn't match up really well. I have parts in the visor that should be "Valley" folds but turn out to be Mountain folds. It gave it a small curve to it. I don't think it is my pepping skills gone bad because I have now tried to 3 time (just the front not the whole helmet) and it still gives me a slight curve. I will post some pics later after my camera recharges. It died as I was taking pictures. (great timing!!)

Here is a pic to help you out:

I would check out the smoother unfold but I really don't want to have to build the whole thing again

There is no "Smooth" Unfold yet. If so, I can't find the link for it.

 

[rvb18]

if you wanna smooth it out just change the threshold settings to 165 or 160 deg

 

[Cadet]

Oooohh. New chest and back plate are NICE. Think I will have to do those to upgrade my Mark V.

 

[Spartan 051]

then why are you worried if the visor wont sit "correct" more then likely it will get cut at one one point or another

I'm not worried about the visor. I just wanted to point out a potential "problem" spot. It just seemed like that area could be improved. Like I mentioned I didn't know if it was my peppping or what. I tried 3 time to get it prefect and each time there still was I little bit of "bending."

I know I could make it smoother through the pep file but I don't think smoothing it out is going to change much. I guess I could try it though.



One thing I was thinking to about it: If the visor is curving it might throw off the rest of the pep and make future areas of pepping a issue as I progress on the build.



You know: a little bit off now means a lot more off later.



No worries mate.

 

[Spartan 051]

yeah no probelm though couldnt not pep the visor an in supports like FS helm i believe he leaves an optional visor



just an idea



EDIT: looks like rock got the same problem right were you pointed out
