Hello all, I am actually really psyched about joining the 405th. 2 years ago I went to Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) as a white spartan, basically my Halo 2 character because AWA was 2 days before the Halo 3 launch! I had the armor made for me, which in hindsight, was wrong, but easy. Unfortunately it was too big, so I was kind of like a bobble head spartan. The armor was disproportional to my own body, but still looked amazing! It was made from vacuuformed pieces. WELL! Here I am, about 1.5 months away from this years AWA and just like 2 years ago, ODST will be coming out 2 days after the event! So I decided to make my own armor! I started with wood and determined that it would be an absolute impossible task to be done by Sept. 18. SO I started looking on the web for designs maybe to help with carving the wood, or patterns or whatever. Thats when I saw pepakura files! That night I downloaded pep viewer and printer some stuff off on normal paper just to see what it was like. I loved doing it. The next day I bought the cardstock, resin, fiberglass cloth, etc.... And so here I am, helmet,right gauntlet, and full main chest pieces(but I am probably going to have to re-do the chest pieces) are pepped and im am almost done with the torso, but not until after like 3 tries! XD
I will also be adding pics of Dare's armor as well when they are completed.
I just hope i can get it done in less than 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am editing this because I messed up the file upload and now I can only do one pic instead of the 4 I had, something messed up and I uploaded all four and then they werent here but it still says I uploaded them and do not have space for more, sorry. view my gallery for more pics i guess.[attachment=10964:awa09armor 024.JPG]
