Customizing and Redefining

I previously posted images of what the Armor would look like roughly but I wanted to customize it a little but to make it feel like my own work, so I found some templates for the ever so popular Mass Effect N7 Armor  and printed the parts out on regular paper. I chose to use the N7 armor for a template because so many people have constructed it and the final result looks amazing even for an amateur like myself.



After doing that, I cut them out and put them together using some scotch tape. Included in the N7's templates print out they provide you with a overview of the divisions on one page so you can assemble the pieces properly. I took this sheet and traced over it for the customizing. I started reshaping parts and erasing the N7 parts I wasn't using. I ended up with this simple design.
 


When I finished editing the necessary parts, I reciprocated the process on the actual cut outs. This way things come out the way I want them too and not like the N7 armor. I did this to the chest piece, the back piece, the shoulder pieces, and the thigh pieces. I excluded some parts of the N7 armor.
