PROJECT: Hayabusa

[HaloGoddess]

You read that right!

I am going 'busa..................again. XD

A few of you may remember the Hayabusa suit I started almost 2 years and totally got placed on the back burner.

Now with the introduction of foam, I have decided to build my hayabusa suit out of foam. The MK VI files are proving to be a little tricky for me with the foam. The Reach files seemed a bit easier because of how basic the shapes were.

The piece I seem to be having the MOST problems with are the shins. I've WASTED foam for 2 shins that did not fit and there was NO way I was going to be able to get them on without them ripping. I'm working on a 3rd now. I'm hoping the old saying: "third times a charm" holds true in this case! XD

I have no pics yet, but will have some posted soon.

=======================================

I plan on having this finished before the release of Halo 4 since after my appearance at gamestop while dressed as Kat for the Halo CEA midnight release went over so well, the employees want me back for Halo 4 so that means I need a new suit!

Awesome! I remember the hayabusa build you did 2 years ago, the pep work turned out great back then, so i wish you the best of luck that the foam will do the same!

Can't wait to see the progress pics, good luck on your build

I remember following your Hayabusa build back then. I thought your work was great and as bummed when it was scrapped. I can't wait to see this one take off!

Okay, here we go! PICTURES!!!

Here you can see my THREE attempts at making the shin. The top left one is the shin that was modified for females. It didn't seem to work too well on my leg with the foam because of how narrow it is. The top right was sized a bit too small. The bottom one is the one that fit perfectly and all I did was make it an inch bigger than the 2nd! XD


Here I got the majority of the parts finished. Now just need to attach everything!


Here is a better view of the back of the shin BEFORE I had the back, middle section put on.


It's getting there!


ALL DONE!!!!

Side view:


Front view:


Still have some finishing touches to add to the shin piece and glue an area on the front, but other than that, it's all done!! It seems to fit perfectly too! I gotta say, the MKVI pieces seem to be more awkward with the foam because of the shapes. I tried to make it as easy as possible when making my templates. The shin was a pain in the butt! I'm afraid for how I am going to do the forearm. XD
