Halo Reach Mark 6 Spartan!

Happy April 1st Spartans! Sadly I didn’t have an April fools thing… but I do have this Halo Reach Spartan! A recent commission for @ghostdragon529

Been a hot minute folks, got a job which is really taking some time away from figures. But even with the slowdown I’ll bring you guys new custom figs!

This guy was a blast to paint with several reach parts I had never painted before like the chest. Usually Spartans are fun to paint at the beginning and get progressively more frustrating as time goes on, but this guy was a blast all the way to the end! Got to add a ton of tiny details that aren’t shown off with Megas paint jobs. And I tried a new mini painting technique to paint the screens on both the chest and the backpack which both turned out really well. Huge thanks to @strandy_42 for getting me references for the back. Got to paint another variant of the Reach Mark 6 helmet from @ls3d_printing, the amount of detail is crazy and a blast to paint! Plus his Halo Infinite knife and Kukri, which I cannot figure out how to keep the paint from rubbing off the inside of the blade. I also got to paint @dougie_d73’s tac pouch! Once again a beautiful print. Anywho, overall this guy was a blast to paint!
