So, at the start of the semester I started to make my armor. Got the helmet done in about two months between school work, and really crammed on the torso over spring break. In the pictures is what I have so far.
As you can see from the second pic the helmet will need some adjustment (like the addition of a flexible neck-seal) before I can wear it correctly.
My main goal in the production of this suit is to make one that will not break when I sit down in it. As for customization, after the parts are hardened I intend to rig the armor with lights to match as close as possible the game. I also intend to paint it with a Red vs. Blue Caboose theme.

A Reach Caboose (WIP, with pictures)
Why must we be like everyone else? That's just boring.

Note on that chest piece. You should work the collar before for you glass it will make it easier to work it. looking good so far.

Spartans aren't born their built, thru blood, sweat, and tears. And maybe a little Fiberglass.

By "work the collar", do you mean get it into a more usable shape, cut it off so the torso is ready for a replacement (softer) collar, or something else?

I think he means to cut the piece into two separate pieces so that it is wearable when finished. but even if that's not what he meant, you should do that anyways.

nice man, the helmet and torso look great, the helmet is just a little small =P but other than that it looks awesome and you peped the helmet pretty well also. keep up the fantastic work on the build
btw are you going to put struts in the torso when you are done peping it because that will really help it to keep its shape so that it doesn't warp at all?
keep up the great work =DMy photobucket http://s737.photobucket.com/albums/x.../halo%20stuff/
