Halo Wars Costume UPDATE!! (lots of PICS)

so its almost done. I need to work on the under suit because the one im wearing is hot as hell and i want it to be more detailed. i also need to find some ways to keep my thigh pieces up and my biceps up. As far as weapons go, im going to use two pistols.
Hope you all enjoy the pictures. Ill keep you up to date with the under suit.
Thank you!!!

my girlfriend is also working on her own suit, and i thought i would throw a couple of pictures of her, because i think she did a pretty good job for her first suit. Its a custom female spartan suit. She still has a little more work to do, but i think its awesome. =)

thankyou all for checking my pics out.

The Mk. IV is astonishing! I love the paint job as well.

And your girlfriend's armor is good! I hope my first armor will be as good...

Nice work! I may be wrong but didn't you have another thread with your build?

Were you able to find MKIV plans, or did you freehand it all? The suit looks great, I'm loving the red stripe across the right breastplate, gives it a nice... contrast?

I do have another thread up. It shows the early process. I figured I would start another fresh one that would show the final piece.
Thanks for your comments!

Im wanting to eventually make my preferred Halo 3 Spartan model.

Helmet-Recon
Left S-Scout
Right S-Recon
Chest-Katana (Lol I doubt there is a pepakura file for that... probly just Hayabusa with a Katana tied in the back :P)

thanks, i just need to work with keeping it on while i walk. the biceps keep falling down, and so do my thigh pieces. I think im just going to wear another belt under my cod piece and attach the thigh pieces to that. im not sure what im going to do about the biceps. any ideas? I think it turned out pretty good.
thanks for all your comments!

Thighs, I put on a belt under my cod piece, and attached nylon loops to the thigh and looped it around the belt. For biceps, I used some nylon straps attached to the chest piece, held on by velcro to the actual piece so that they are removable when needed.
