My Remastered Custom: Halo Wars 2 - Banished Honor Guard
Good Monday everyone, I'm finally back making a ton of Halo custom minis to showcase! Also with my newfound motivation, I'll try to post and be active on more social media platforms such as the MCX Unboxed Gallery, Facebook groups, Twitter, and mainly Instagram!
Anyway, to start my comeback strong, I've remastered my favorite custom, Banished Honor Guard!
3 years ago this month, I made my 2nd ever custom Halo mini, the Banished Honor Guard (as seen in photo 2). This remaster is another testament to my improved skill over 3 years.
The custom making process:
I took the same exact figure from 3 years ago, stripped it's paint and previous sculpt. Researched references to find the Banished Honor Guard has asymmetrical shoulder pads, gauntlets, and thigh plates.
I then re-sculpted all the armor to be more accurate than before. I gave it a fresh coat of Model Masters Insignia Red, and my own gunmetal gray mix. Gave it a dark gray and black wash. Applied black and silver dry brushing for more weathering effect.
In some photos you might see the figure in a darker and more weathered color scheme. I accidentally applied too much of a wash on the figure and the colors became more dull than I wanted, so I rubbed off the wash and redid it in a lighter coat to bring out the red.
I am very pleased with how this remaster turned out, and glad to see myself constantly improving! What do you guys think of this latest custom/remaster? I have more halo customs READY to post in the coming weeks so stay tuned!
