Heya folks, Nico here with a thread that documents my WIP on a Spartan III suit that got me my diploma! This thread is just a bunch of 'pics or it didnt happen' requests put to justice! Browse through and enjoy, folks~ Below is the final product, being sported by my best friend and NorthStar's official model, Patrick :3

First off, i started with the chest, seeing as the detailing on those things is more needy than a helmet, i got most of the back stuff done with a combination of FoamCore board and EVA foam, i was beyond happy with the final product!

This little bit is the middle vent for the back, uber close up xD

Same vent, an hour or two later :p

And of course, next was the biceps! the thing is, i planned to do some sort of armor on the right one, so i didn't detail it as much :p

After some long and hard work on the forearms (which i sadly forgot to document >.<* ) i had to test fit it all!

Shortly after, i made a few trips to my mentor, Kathleen, the one who helped me make the undersuit!

After that pic, things got hectic in our house, but i pressed on, forgetting to document the entire below-the-belt progress.. (cod, thighs, and shins)
But they got done in time to present them, and here, i show you all the final test fitting~
