Hello everyone, after my grif armor, and the extreme amounts of fun i had on a con with the armor (even if most people didnt know much about red vs blue) i decided to keep updated with a halo 4 armor
What i'm planning to do, is use mostly impact props' foam templates (which i still need to figure out how to assemble), probably master chief's shins and knees and a foam soldier chest i found here on the 405th file archive, for the helmet i'm very indecisive about wich helmet to make, i'm currently considering mk.V or the recruit helmet, if anyone knows of more foam helmets files, please let me know

Anyway, i went to a flea market (where i usually get my foam) i got some 6mm rolls and a 1/3 inch (more or less) foam roll, all for 200 pesos (About 15 US dollars)
Also, i've finally bought a heat gun for 555 pesos (about 40 US dollars) i gotta say, one of the best tools i've bought

For the start of the build, i've decided to make a DMR, i've tried to heat the knife with the heat gun and it makes cutting foam very easy

Also, i've decided to mark detail lines, cut them lightly with my x-acto and heated them so they would be more noticable, i also added some screws

Please tell me what you guys think, there's more to come soon!
 
Allright, i've managed to make some more details on the dmr
The yellow foam is 6mm thick and the white one is the 2mm craft foam

Allright, it's been a while since i've worked on this project, i've been busy with my red hood build

and then i had surgery about a week ago

But, now that i've recovered and felt better, and most of all, incredibly bored, i decided to start with the armor itself
I decided to use the templates by impact props ("TheBradinator" here on the 405th), i downloaded them from here:

On the in-game armor, only one of the shoulders have an amblem, but, i decided to put an emblem in honor of everyone who inspired me to build armor in the first place

Here they are, battle-damaged
