After actual years of lurking I finally decided that it was time for me to build. I started sometime in late April and really had to put a push on it to get finished in time for halo-ween.

Look at the camera son.

Anyone else just feel awesome wearing these things?

And now more of the mini spartan, and the flag that my very patient and very pregnant wife made for us.

Many thanks to everyone who has posted progress and build threads. My particular muses were Longshot-X for the astounding work, timecon for the first foam build that I saw, and Nick Nack Patty Wack for another incredible build. Without seeing these builds I doubt I would have taken the plunge. More thanks to L3X BLU3R1V3R for some templates, as well as to calladar for the boot templates. I also need to include my brothers for the assistance with last minute painting.
 
I will have to say I am very impressed for a first timer. Everything looks very clean and sharp. Definitely a top notch suit. :)
 
agreed this should be in the Elite threads it is nicer than anything i could have done the first time through
 
Thanks for the kind words. Yes the helm is foam, was the first part I worked on. Pepped it out first for fit then hacked the pepped helm up for templates.

I had planned on going with a sliced sniper build but ran out of time before halloween.I also wanted to get some lights in it to. As it was I was gluing elastic to the hand plates just before we walked or the door for trick or treat.
