Hey guys! This Wednesday I’m back with a new commission figure from Halo: Reach, UNSC Army Trooper! In my custom history, I’ve only ever attempted one Reach trooper about 4 years ago. Since then, Megaconstrux has provided tons of new molds and great parts to work with. To start, ls3d_printing made some gorgeous Gungnir shoulder plates that I fastened to the body. I also sculpted the three pouches on the chest, additional shoulder attachments, the NxRA utility, along with the tactical soft case utility and munitions belt. Next, the undersuit was repainted entirely in Death World Forest Green while the armor was painted in Steel Legions Brown to be accurate to Reach’s campaign. The helmet was separately painted in a mix of Wraith bone and Ushabti to give it a higher contrast to the armor, along with Corvus Grey and Abbadon black details. Smaller Dawnstone, Mechanicus, and Dryad bark details were also hand painted, and the legs were dry brushed in Mournfang Brown. After I dry brushed the figure, smaller hyper details were painted using Mephiston Red, Baharroth Blue, Moot Green, Evil Sunz, Retributer Gold and Guass Blue. The entire armor was then black washed before I outfitted him with a custom MA-37 AR. This is hands down one of my favorite UNSC figures to date and I’m excited to make more! Enjoy!
