LongShot-X's Mark VI HD MJOLNIR Armor - WIP

gc 3000 · Dec 9, 2011

I don't know whether to be amazed or completely floored by the costume. The LED work is fantastic, I bet this would be the talk of any Halloween costume contest.

LongShot X · Dec 20, 2011

@Thorn: As always... Thanks!

@gc_3000: Thanks.

Had a request to take a pic of how the ab plate is attached to the torso.
In order to keep maximum freedom of movement, I needed to be able to let the ab plate swing rather than solidly be fixed to the torso. All I did was resin in some webbing and that's it.

Made it again to Halowaypoint, in one of BSAngels blogs.

Somewhere in this vastly thread, I had mentioned that I would post what files I used and what scale factors I used, along with my body measurments. I think that it's time to do just that. Except I won't post ALL my body measurements, just the important ones.

My height: 5'9"
Waist circumference: 30"
Shoe size: 7 (usa)
Weight: 140 lbs
Build: Slender to medium

All of the files that I used were originally from the wiki. However a lot of them are no longer available. --BUT-- Heavygunner's thread has a nice "All in one pep pack" which contains the exact same files that I used. http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/26285-All-in-One-Halo-Pepakura-Pack

^^^Ah, Ya... what he said^^^

On a side note: Thank you for the sizing info, it will be helpful. And its nice to know that I'm not the only Medium build out there.

LongShot X · Mar 3, 2012

Finally managed to have a few days off to
myself with no commitments to anything.
What is there to do? ---> WORK ON ARMOR

Added the magnets to the torso and
the shotgun for the mounting system.

I can run and jump with no issues.

I can remove the shotty by reaching over my shoulder
--or--
by reaching from below.

Very easy to remount via over the shoulder.

Until next time,

Cheers!

Every time I look at this thread, I'm blown away. By far one of the best Mark VI builds ever. Kudos!!

This has inspired me to stop using glowsticks as cheap lighting.

Varsity · Mar 3, 2012

I love the suit in every way, but the plastic tubing around your neck just gets to me. It makes me laugh out loud for some reason.

C0NF1IC7 · Mar 4, 2012

Holy shia. How fast does that go? Look at all the stickers! Amazing build man. Nuff said.

thorn696 · Mar 5, 2012

I love the new set up for the shotgun.

vshore100 · Mar 5, 2012

That shot gun looks great on the back LS. What type of magnets did you use? Can you explain the process a little so we can see how you did it? Awesome job man.

Thanks VS! I used recycled computer hard drive magnets. The rare earth kind. I have taken pics of the process (very easy) and will post the procedure in the next few days.

As always... Thanks Thorn! I love how easy it is to attach and remove the shotty. This will come in very handy when I need to free up my hands.

Not sure what you mean by "how fast does that go?" If your referring to the shotgun, its completely fake and does not fire. A speed of Zero?

LOL The neck seal is not made of plastic, its actually a star wars neck seal. The best that I could come up with at the time.
Having said that, I have to laugh at that pic too. The positioning of the camera and the angle of my head makes my neck look unnaturally long. The under suit project is still on my list of things to do and the neck seal will be one of the first things to tackle for the under suit.

Glowsticks!!! I love those things. I had a few ideas to use them in the helm but never got around to experimenting with them on the Chief.

Thanks Matt! I still get the awe struck feeling when I look at these pics too. Very inspirational, even to myself.

With Easter fast approaching, I'll be adding the pink bunny ears and the pink nose to the helm for a future photo shoot and a "walk about outing" at a few of the local malls and game stores. ETA to be determined.

Thanks for the awesome comments.

Cheers!

I think he was comparing your suit with all the decals on it to a race car. You know, they have a bunch of sponsor decals and go really fast. That'd be my guess any way.

As far as the rare earth magnets go, I have opened up one hard drive before to remove the magnets and only found two very small ones and they wouldn't hold hardly anything. Is there a certain size or something I should be looking for? We have several I can get from work if need be.

Yes, there are differences in the size of magnets depending upon the hard drive that it comes out of. I found that the 3.5" desktop hard drives have larger magnets than the 2.5" notebook hard drives (obvious statement). I also found that the older hard drives (200Gigs and smaller) sometimes have thicker and larger magnets than the newer higher capacity ones. I'll take pics of the magnets that I'm using so that everyone can see what size and shape is being used.

Great stuff Longshot, my inspiration as always man.

drack · Mar 7, 2012

I should comment on this thread really seeing as since I started my MKVI your photos are in every mobile device in the house. This build is truly amazing. I love the gun attachment using magnets. I was thinking of putting some in mine once I finish making it. I have to confess I will be pinching your idea for where you installed your lights, although I was going to add some before I saw your suit but it helped my lazyness with working out where to put um.

R8b · Mar 7, 2012

This still blows my mind how good it is!

SpartanRogue1 · Mar 8, 2012

I can still say with certainty, this is the best MKVI build I've seen. Simple as that.
