Starting my Gen 3 Mk VI Build

Hello 405th. I've been 3d printing for many years now (I actually have a full blown side business based on 3d printed parts). I've also been a Halo fan since CE came out with the original Xbox. I finally put these two interests together and started my own armor build. My roommate in college was pretty into prop building for the Ghostbusters franchise, but I don't have a ton of experience outside of watching him and helping maybe a tad here and there years ago.

As for my build, I'm starting with the V6 files from GA and a combination of my Voron 2.4 (350mm) and Bambu Lab X1C for the prints. While the 3d modeling, scaling, and printing are the easy part for me, I'm definitely learning a lot as I go when it comes to prepping, painting, and weathering the final parts. The undersuit will be quite a challenge for me as well, but this place has been a huge help already with all of this. I figured it's time to officially join and say hi.

I'll drop a couple of photos for now, but I'll also try to keep up with some periodic updates as things progress.

Looks like it’s coming along nicely!! Looking forward to seeing the progress!
 
looks phenomenal!! I'm currently building the same suit myself out of foam. I've only been a halo fan for a couple years due to never having a console or pc to play games on. What got me into halo was watcing my older brother play on his pc. Havent played ALL the games but bits and pieces of every one
