@nrettenmaier - thank you! I was hoping someone would like it
YAY UPDATE!
first off, I got 2 sets of LED's done.
Here's the left thigh:
(it's not as bright as in the picture, the camera just sucks)
I eliminated the glow from the sides and everything.
The light's turn off with a 9V connector, you have to hook off the connector off of the battery to turn it off.
Here's the chest piece:
I used plexi glass sprayed with "glass frosting" so the light wouldn't look so see through
For some 405th pride, I made a stencil out of cardstock and spray painted it onto both shoulders, back of helmet and both sides of pelvis. Some look better than others, this is one of the worse ones lol
and lastly, I painted up an old MARK V helmet I made along time ago.
I might rondo the inside just incase, I already resined the inside a ton.
I'm definatly adding a visor, not sure what though, it's tiny so I don't need to see through.
I'm bringing this with me to FanExpo in Toronto because Microsoft is hosting a Halo Reach event and I'm hoping for Bungie to be there so I can get some autographs
still have to weather it some more and such.
only 10 days to finish my armour completely!
wish me luck
