1st Build – Finally making my first built, slow and steady. (Log) | Halo Costume and Prop Maker Community

I am finally working on my first set of armor, I have been too below the age to get a proper job and have finally exceeded that threshold. I am going to be working on my Mark VII suit and will be uploading print pictures and progress pictures of all types here. I hope you guys enjoy.

What I have/have done:
I have a Neptune 4 Plus that I have moderately tuned but need to tune more.
I have Armorsmith and have done the scaling to my body and am on the 29th iteration of tweaking.

I have a slightly similar built to N8TEBB I believe, even though the attached image makes me look much more beefy and shorter than I am, I am also looking for feedback on whether the scale looks proper for coverage and mobility.
Speaking of N8TEBB’s built, I also plan on using most of the same files, with the exceptions being Aguilar Workshop’s Firefall helmet, Skookum Props’ Viator shoulderpad, bicep, and chestplate, along with perhaps the shins and knee.
My final hope for the built is for it too look something like this:

I hope for some feedback and hope you all have a fine rest of your day.
