I started on my Masterchief costume way back in 2007 but I was not satisfy and kept on perfecting my armor. As of right now in 2012, my costume look likes this

I might not have much on my work of progress pictures when I was building my costume because my laptop broke down. But here is what I can get.

This was my 1st attempt on a assault rifle without pepakura

Then I tried again but with a schematic I found on google. (I wanted to be a tough guy and avoid pepakura + I think its really weak if I use cardstock)

Then I sprayed paint it.

For my armor, I start with my helmet.

In 2007

Okay I admit it, now I only used pepakura on the helmet because it was the most difficult part in my opinion.

For the visor, I used one of the korean sun shade hats (like the one in gangnam style lol)

For the thigh pieces, I just based it on pictures and then add random details

For the boots it used to look like this from pepakura using low-res. I also painted my whole costume with a cheap green but later on I changed my whole color to the new Halo 4 color.

I got sick of the low-res with polygons so I remade it using EVA foam for the first time and basing it out of pictures not pepakura this time:

Also use pepakura on shoulders but remade the biceps based on Halo 4:

Arm guards were made w/o pepakura and were inspired by Halo 4

That's all I have available right now so I show my whole costume now:
