Moving into Modeling, the primary image used is the profile view given on halo-pedia's main site. This image gives the cleanest profile of the model to be made and will be the direct blueprint to follow.
Getting deeper into the modeling stages, I decided that I would want to make this model a printable object I could actually attempt to make, and potentially fabricate for myself or others on my Etsy page. So I began to break the parts down and prepare them for 3D printing and assembly.
The model was then given a Mach-up in Fusion360 to see what materials looked best for the physical model. Although I may not be able to print carbon Fiber, I knew I may be able to wrap the stock using some different techniques.
