Zachturner009's Halo Reach Commando Foam Build

[Dire]

And here it is scaled to my thigh, and part of the shin.

 

[Dire]

Yeah, you gotta have a space where you can let it cure for 24hrs safely. But it's super worth it, I have no fears about my armor breaking and haven't had to do any real repairs.
My buckles are actually wearing out faster than the armor is

Yeah yeah, I just throw it in the shop, still hate the smell, it just sticks with me

 

[Dire]

Thought this profile looked cool.

 

[he4thbar]

Eh, it was a bad idea, glad I didn't do it, also decided to save it for another build

 

[Dire]

looks great!

Thank you! Imma jump over to your power Armour thread.

Guess who found an odorless replacement to shoe goo.

 

[Dire]

Got the back shin done.

 

[Dire]

Got the two back side pieces done and attached and tried to get the right profile shape, think I did it well.

straight up looking good, man! Your leg armor pieces are looking a lot better than mine; at one point I was like "eh, screw it!" And just stuck with them. Making me want to rebuild my reach set!

How's that E6000 stuff? Is that as durable as the shoe goo?

I thinks its better, in my opinion it sets way better, I'll take a pic of it, I was able to break it apart with a tug o' war.

It looks wet but its like a really hard rubber now.

 

[Dirtdives2424]

does it dry hard? meaning does it have any flex to it?

 

[Dire]

It pretty much as hard the rubber part of a shoe sole and bends and flex like a rubber mat I guess

 

[Dire]

Got both of the shins built, its not quite done, still going to add some detail line and additional details as well, but they are built!

Also don't know if these are the kicks I will be using, they just work for a shin stand right now.

OwO what's this? Another Reach build thread that I "accidentally" stumbled upon?

Probably, I'm going to "stumbled upon" yours in a minute.

Love reading the progress of this build, can't wait to see it finnished! Planning on making my own set of Reach armour but can't decide on the armour

Like wise, excited to see yours , I would build the base armor then decide on what helmet, shoulders, wrist, chest, thigh, and knee piece you want, jeez typing all that made me realize that's alot of building.

Also can't build too much at the moment, a tiny fracture is causing a big delay.
