Vulcan Armory

Hey guys! This is my Halo 4/5 Spartan Recruit armor. I have been building this suit within this past year. Due to schooling, I've been building it in sections. First I built all the armor pieces, then a foam under suit, the helmet, and then just a few days ago I finished my Halo 5 DMR.
The armor was made out of EVA foam and craft foam. I gather tons of reference images and I spend days, maybe a week, studying the armor and finding a good place to start. In doing so, I study the geometry and break it down into different parts and mentally build the armor piece. Then I grab my paper and drafting tools and I hand draft every piece and every detail by hand. The helmet was the only part that used pepakura. I did made my own vacuum forming machine to make the visor! The DMR is made of 80% MDF wood, 19% 3D printing, and 1% EVA foam.
If you guys have any questions I'd love to go into way more depth discussing how I made my armor!
