Spartan IV Pepakura build

[spartanbula]

Whats up guys, going to be staring some spartan IV's. im not gonna start till about next week because i have some exams to finish. It is not going to be 100% Spartan IV armor, because i was unable to find any Spartan IV's modeled. Essentially it will be using the Halo 4Master Cheif armor as the body, and the Spartan IV helmet on top.

Just a heads up...........it's not good to start a thread if you have no progress to show. Quite a few members frown upon threads like these and especially since you mentioned you won't be starting til next week. It would have been better to post a thread when you have pictures to show.

 

[spartanbula]

ok thanks, ill remember that. ill try to get some pics up soon. i think i can possibly get a small amount of work in tomorrow, enough for a picture atleast.

Im starting new with that spartan iv helmet... the propzone model was great but the numbering was kinda messed up so its kinda hard. what should have taken me what i thought a couple of day is taking forever cause of having to be near the computer for reference but the best of luck to you bro, ive only got the darn top part of it and itsall wierd. hard then super easy then again all wierd

 

[spartanbula]

thanks ill be sure to have my computer close by.

hey i finished a shoulder, and it looks alright. the spots that are circled need to be hit up with bondo body filler to get the perfect details. but other than that tell me what you think.

wow. going old school huh? well youll deffinitly stand out in a group or spartans. everyone goes for master chief mark 6 or noble 6. keep us updated

 

[Deathkree S]

You aught to post up a picture with the helmet so that i can compare to mine. any idea how your going to sand out the holes on the top and front of the helmet?

 

[spartanbula]

ill probably use a drill tool, but i was going to start on the helmet on wednesday. but ill try my best thanks.

 

[spartanbula]

i had an idea, under the Spartan IV is a pad like armor, almost like kevelar. in the circles it shows where it sticks out. i was thinking about it and i think if there was enough space, you could put a Caseball Catcher's chest peice in there.

hey guys i was doing a little research and i think i found a better file for the helmet. i was just looking arond under some of the modeling portfolios, and i found a file for the Spartan IV helmet. this helmet is actually a lot less polygons is easier to make, and i think it even looks better here are some of the multiviews i came up with. and the pepakura files of the "Prop Zone" and the "harnor, Satchmo III version." DeathKree_s i think this may be a better for file for you to use also here are the pics. but tell me what you guys think?

You can find the noncolored one at "Modeling Protfolio (Satchmo III)" Thread.
the other can be found in the "Halo 4 Pepakura" Thread.

I made this in about an hour, i should have it done by tomorrow or the next day. This is the beggining to the helmet.

Dang it bro. I'm about 60% done with the "FORT KNOX" Pep File of the Spartan IV
Though it looks good enough to do that second variant too. I was readying this thread and I am Doing the same thing you are and the cevlar effect is a worth a try best of luck to you in your build buddy.

Its getting there.....had to fabricate peices to make it work. i spent way too much time to just discard it like that.

Helmet

I finished the helmet at about 2:00 last night, and here it is. i think it looks pretty good, once i get to the bondoing stage ill use the scultping bondo or plumber apoxy to fix parts. here the helmet is.

Modeling

im taking some time to attempt to model spartan IV armor, ive been working on information for the past few days.

 

[spartanbula]

hey i took off a few months off of this build, i was a little frustrated and needed a little break from it. ive been working on a star wars costume and ordered all the things i needed tp vacuum form but they put it all on back order so i have to wait a little while. so i decided to come back to work on the halo costume. im still going to make the costume even though i wont be able to wear to the release due to recent events... but ill still enjoy making it. ive decided just to use mark IV parts because im had a difficult time making spartan IV parts and templates. ill make it all out of foam instead of pepakura because it takes to long to fold and put together. so i hope you guys can watch as i hopefully put it together succesfully.

here is what ive been working on tonight, i have most of the upper torso completed, and just wanted to show a WIP.
