Another Master Chief Build...

Largen · May 6, 2010

Well, first off heres the AA greeting,

Hi, my names Largen. and i like making armor : D LOL anywho,

So, my cousin (he is on here but i dont know his profile...) started making an Iron Man suit.. i got interested, like... three days ago now.. so i started out with a MkIV High Def Helmet, and i finished... today, so i plan on making the full armor, and i figure may as well keep you guys up to date, and heres the helmet from start to finish...

The WIP and my workstation...

The finished pep...

outside Resin Coat....

My helmet and my cousins XD

Inside resin coat, i went HEAVY on this to ensure strength..

Skipped the second exterior resin coat, and went strait to Fiberglass, used TONES once again just for strength...

quick Primer coat to help magnify imperfections, and some Bondo...

Finished Primer Coat...

First color coat....

Finished Two-Tone Paint...

Finished paint/Battle Damage WHO-RAW!

Fits great! and ignore the crappy shirt, its one of my "working on crap shirts" XD

So thats me, the starts of my project and my intro! so ya Questions, criticism? im game!

I know the overwhelming feeling when you first join and make your first helmet. But i'm a year old veteran now and decided to branch out, and thats exactly why i have a ODST costume, Marine costume, a MKII IM suit and a W,I,P MKIII/VI IM suit. Enjoy your stay and have any questions just consult me.

Largen · May 6, 2010

Thanks! and i intend on having my suit in... well worst case scenario three months TOPS

Hmmm...........that's a new one........putting the fiberglass resin on the inside instead of the outside. Most people I see around here put the resin on the outside and the fiberglass on the inside. That is even what I gathered from reading all the stickies on the site. However, I guess doing it the way you did shouldn't be so bad considering that you don't have to worry about any globs and blobs of resin on the outside and then have to try and sand down those areas.

Your helmet looks pretty good though. I'm a fan of blue so I like it.

Nice work on your helmet and great first post! Looking forward to the rest of the armor.

Oh, no i did a coat on the outside, only one though, and the globs were a little pain.... But thanks!

Welcome to the 405th! That is an excellent first post! The pep looks good, as does the rest of the work. Keep it up!

Largen · May 6, 2010

Thanks, i just looked at your MkVI you have me wanting to make the smooth file helmet ha ha, it looks epic, but thats alright, i planned on making another helmet after i make the armor.

Glad i made a decent intro for being such a noob ha ha.

Boba Fett · May 6, 2010

Wow! A first post and someone actually makes something! I didn;t post anything of mine until like 650 posts later... hehehe... Very nice job! In the future, you would probably benefit from sanding the top dome a bit more to make it smooth, but aside from that, it's Grade A work. Great job! Gonna do anything fancy witht her rest of ths suit? Permutations and that? Or maybe the season 3-5 Caboose? Welcome to the forums!

Shaymin Sky · May 6, 2010

Hey, that helmet is looking boss! Good job!

Thanks! and ya i did rush the sanding on the top, interesting story behind my deadline ha ha, i had to get this baby banged off in one week, did her in three days! Ha ha, but the rest of the suit will probably just be standard for now, after i finish this one i might stray the path a little, i just want to have a replica chassis for now though

Shaymin Sky: Thanks! Is it so sad that im actually wearing it as i type now? LOL im trying to find any problems i have with wearing it ha ha.

Are you sure that's MK IV, kinda looks like MK VI to me...

Farkin' excellent job none the less, keep up the great work and welcome to the board!

Largen · May 7, 2010

Alrighty, well did the HD Left hand plate, start to finish, looks pretty good! im going to re-paint it as i did the paint job in about 5 minutes from primer to blue, then maybe 1 min to battle damage it, but all that said looks decent, i just wanted an idea of the finished product, and i got it, so im happy.

Almost finished Pep....

After exterior resin coat, now on to interior coat...

Fiber Glassing it... (Way overkill like i always seem to do ha ha)

Quick sand primer and paint...

Battle damage/finish (almost)

So tis what i got done today! whatcha guys think? : D

Oh LOL i may have botched that ha ha I do indeed think you are correct, forgive me, im on at 2-3 in the morning on my first posts, lacking much sleep XD But thanks!

SquishyShoes · May 7, 2010

You might want to scale your hand plate too!

Looks good though.

stealth · May 7, 2010

I'm not a fan of the DFL helmet but you made it look really nice!

Ya, now that im looking at some ref pics mine is a bit big, but thats ok, i will see in the end if i will re-make em or not, which i probably will, but for now im building the whole left side of the suit to see what sort of scaling issues i will have, then i will be going from there.

STEALTH: thanks! i certainly am happy with how it came out especially being my first pep XD
