woohoo .. love the thigh piece .. i was thinking to do the same thing but using ultra bright LED's instead. But ur el wire gave me an idea. i still have lots extra from my tron costume. those could be handy .. :D
 
Thanks Gixxer! The $7.00 EL wire should do the trick for me and it has enough glow to achieve the effect needed. In the meantime, here is how my helmet looks.

Thanks Thorn!

While I'm waiting for shipment of supplies, I started working on the basic trooper backpack also done in foam rubber mats which I heated to shape one area on the top.

The backpack has two main parts. The cradle/basket part (bottom) and the backpack itself.

Thanks Gixxer! I actually get about 80% of my references from the figures themselves and the rest are screen caps from the game. But here are some pics that I saved from the game and from Bungie's renders that hopefully you can use.

Here is a short clip of me trying on my helmet after I finished painting and adding a light to it. I tried it on with part of the armor just to see how it looks. Still need to work on chin straps and helmet liner around the cheeks.
