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:
My whole boot has 3 parts:
