Back in the Game, BenStreeper's Halo Reach E.O.D. build and other builds

With the store shutting down, and my free-time opening up exponentially I decided to go ahead and cheer myself up by getting back into the greatest hobby ever... Building stuff!!! So this week during the Liquidation of Xcon Gaming I have been pepping a Halo Reach E.O.D. helmet. First I want to thank the Modeler IroniumCostuming for the amazing model. I did a new unfold on letter sized paper but other than that this file is great.

Here is the helmet 1/2 way through day 1

Here it is at the end of day 1. I wanted to see what it would look like with armor, so I slipped the 1/2 helmet onto my statue. Not bad....

And here it is at the end of day 2.

Hopefully I can get him to the resin/ fiberglass / bondo/ rondo stage soon. The last day we have to be up here at the mall is the 20th. So that's what I got so far, I'll post more pics later when I complete the respirators.

Oh man that blows that you had to close the store. I'm sorry to hear it.

Your helmet looks great!

Again I am sorry to hear the store is closing.

Sorry to hear about your store, Ben. That breaks my heart. If it makes you feel any better, your helmet looks frickin' awesome! You always do magnificent work. Ever think of joining up with WETA? I'm sure that the 405th would be more than willing to back you up and reference you.
 
more back in the game works from this week.

Got some sanding done on this but it still has a long way to go

Spartan Laser
Got a Spartan laser pepped and hardened from a trade with SavvyTank of the 405th. Started cutting it up to make it modular and then decided with the amount of warping it had, and the excess amount of hot glue it would be easier and less costly to build it from scratch. So I printed out several 2d images of the new halo reach version and used my warped laser for scaling. I will post more pics of this as it progresses.

Your stuff is looking awesome Ben! Great work!

P.S. Your tuts on youtube have taught me a great deal. They are priceless!
 
More Splaser Updates

Started basic woodwork on new "scratch" built splaser today. Beginning with sizing and framing the front housing this is the basic frame for it. I plan to add detail later. Not bad for my first wood build ;p

You're work is great. The amount of detail is really nice on both helmets, and I find my self looking forward to see how you do the laser..... Just wondering, How did you do the Thumbnail photos? this smaller formate would be really nice to use.
