    "Take out that tuuurret!"

    YouTube - Preview of Kat-B320

    Catherine was born on Monastir, New Haromny in 2530. After conscription she served in the Beta company therefore receiving the Spartan tag B-320.
    -She was largely known and valued by those around her for being an outstanding cryptanalyst, hacker, and a tactician. If there was a tech problem while plasma was flying Kat could solve it.
    -Her along with Carter S-259 were the only original survivors of the Noble Team.
    Catherine's personality traits often reflect curiosity, exploring classified information, and at time a lack or situational awareness.
    Kat was the mind behind the operation over the unknown human colony. Her plotted mission was to deliver a nuke class warhead inside of the Covenant Cruiser which was occupying the city. When failing to notice an enemy Type-26 GSA Kat was seriously injured which prevented her from completing the mission. The mission ended up as a success, but at the cost of her arm, and Thom-293's life.
    This haunted her and Carter as the two officers in command even until the events on Reach.
    Kat also plotted out a large potion of the battle of Viery, Operation UPPERCUT, and the evacuation of ONI personnel in New Alexandria. After moving out to a radiation bunker either by extended exposure to radiation, or just having too much data and information to process Kat failed to activate her armor's shields. A Sangheili Field Marshal aboard a Phantom fired a Needle Rifle hitting her in the head and causing an instant fatality.
    Cathrine was 22 years old during the Fall of Reach.

    Special thanks and credit goes to xHKx Dark aka xSoGx Scope for the arm joint theory. It was a terrible mess on the ground when we started, and
    we tried numerous objects, and prototypes and finally incorporated your 7 am idea into this final piece. Although a spinning crate would have been sick, the golf-balls are much more aerodynamic.
    -LexisaurusRex23 for being the "other" girl in the screenshot
    -And of course xSoGx Patriot for another sick cover! - I actually use your covers as my desktop backgrounds with each project. Everytime people walk by and see the computer their jaw drops!

    Enjoy!

    This is god damn good. Mostly just because of the detail on the arm, but otherwise still pretty badass.

    In comparison to your other models, this one is one of my least favorites. I can't wait to see Emile.

    Another awesome built Grim and kudos to Patriot for that amazing looking first pic. I have a question for you that I haven't seen before or I just missed it, but where do you start these builds? I'm assuming the feet but I wanted to ask to be sure. Man, I'd like to see a slide show of one of your builds going up section by section, then into a vid like you have on here now. I think it would look pretty cool. Just a thought. Thanks ROCK.

    I will agree with TSB, the arm really is the only thing that shines in comparison to your other works. That being said it still kicks the hell out of 99% of other forge-art creations.

    Hello, well i was told it was going to be amazing, and as always, u came up with the goods! Firstly the post is amazing, and not only have I got the whole spartan set, i also have the bio of each member. That is a great idea, you are a tribute to halo. With kat, she looks amazing, you can tell she is a female spartan and you have executed perfectly. The robot arm is brilliant and very detailed, the cogs and the elbow joint look really good and the arm looks spot on...in halo i still need to rank up to get my robot arm and this just makes me want it more ha. The helmet is also so good , basically from tip to toe you have created a perfect repleca of kat. The pistol looks just like a pistol, you never cease to amaze me! Looking forward to taking a closer look now!

    Another amazing addition to your noble team, keep up the good work. Right when I think you're going to have to stop discovering new ideas, if for nothing else, then because there are none left, you astonish me again. Good job, man.

    ****ing arm!!! OH MY GOD..

    I <3 that robotic arm! I thought the detail was pretty damn good for the rest, and i was just thinking, it'd be awesome if he made the arm work. I had no hope for you to do it. AND YOU DID IT!

    PWNED!

    MAKE ME A ROCK *****! NAO!

    Hey thanks everybody, especially Timmy for a thorough and thoughtful feedback (Kino looks great definitely checking it out when I get back later)
    My options with Kat were very limited. After all she just ran around through campaign and shot random one-liners, and caused road accidents (oops..)
    There is only so much you can do with her besides just forge the figure. I don't think that forging a control panel and then having her sit under it, hacking it would have gone so well.
    Still the project took just as much time and effort as Jun or any other spartan or Covenant. So in the end I personally can't pick any favorites, they are all blood to me.
    And yep my hard drive is full of surprises.

    Good work spartan!
    Grim, you never disappoint. Catherine is one of your finest works. The best part of the map is the robot arm, hands down. Im not sure why no one has mentioned the Magnum yet. Its my favorite weapon and it looks exactly like it in this map. The other details about Catherine are quite amazing as well.

    xForgery is all over that!
    And as far as the magnum there are a few things which I would like to add if I had the pieces.

    this is awesome. i think the best part about your maps is stance. the characters are always doing something characteristic and looking natural. robot arm is awesome, it even rotates at the right speed.
    anyways, nice job, this is well done.

    sweet! I've been looking very forward to your next creation, and it most certainly did exceed expectations :) I especially like the robot arm and the pistol. Keep up the good work!

    This Kat statue is more accurate.

    lol, in all seriousness, this is a really good remake. The robot arm is amazing. The fact that she's part Forerunner structure, part rock is kinda weird, but w/e.

    Thanks Pat, and again for the epic cover shot, these posts whould definitely not be the same without your graphics. If I recall right someone comented on your editing skillz!
    In the end this work would be nothing without a community to look at it.
    Kat has just gone up on Waypoint too, it's nothing that you haven't seen, but I always did enjoy bs Angel's write ups for these.
