Hello all! Figured I'd start uploading some pics of the Hunter build I'm currently working on. I have most of the helmet done, although I'm debating if I want to try and add the effect of the Knucklehead Radar to the helmet. I also have a rough piece of the Vault shoulder done. Like the title to this thread says it's still a work in progress and I'll try and keep up to date with more pics. Thanks for taking a look =)

Re: Destiny Hunter build (WIP)

Here's some picture updates:
20141102_173621.jpg
Traced out a design for the cloak. ]'m making the Strength of the Pack cloak.
20141102_231345.jpg
This forearm piece is actually a Titan forearm I picked up from the very awesome Elusch99
20141104_151304.jpg
Got the visor for the helmet and got it attached, although I haven't gotten the straps on it yet.
20141104_195407.jpg
Finished the spike thing on the shoulder piece and painted both it and the forearm piece gold.
20141105_225529.jpg
And lastly, made a chest piece, also picked up from Elusch99, and added a little more onto it. I used a pair of suspenders for the straps to go around the back. Since the back will be covered by the cloak I didn't feel the need to make the backplate.

Update!!

Finished the design on the cloak. I used double sided fabric seam tape for the gold fabric because I cannot sew very well lol.

A shot of what all I have completed so far. The gun is actually for a different project, but it was just lying around. I'm also thinking of less baggier pants.

And a shot from the back.
 
Re: Destiny Hunter build, now with Relic Shield and Last Word (WIP)

Been a few weeks since the last update, so here's some more progress pics. Also, I've recently started on the Relic Shield and The Last Word with further plans to make a Sword of Crota!

20141125_225000.jpg
Update on the armor is small. Basically just adding some small details to each piece as I go along, so not much progress here yet.
20141117_150122.jpg
A raw pic of the Last Word. This is an 8' barrel spring airsoft pistol I nabbed from Ebay for pretty cheap. I'm going to modify it so there will be more bulk under the barrel and I will hand paint all the design work onto it.
20141117_173836.jpg
An early pic of the Relic Shield. After playing through the Vault of Glass a few more times, I realized that this shield is HUGE! Without the side flares added onto it yet, this thing measures 29' tall and 29' wide (est length after flares is 40'!)
20141122_165114.jpg
One more pic of the shield before I sand and paint it. The light in the center is one of those tap lights that you put in hallways or garages for quick lighting, and all in all works perfect for the light on the shield. It burns a nice suttle orange color.
 
Re: Destiny Hunter build, now with Relic Shield and Last Word (WIP)

UPDATE! I had a nice long four day weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday so I was able to get quite a lot done on the build:
20141129_225753.jpg
Got one side of the Last Word completely painted! I really like how it turned out, and still even completely functions. Just gotta paint the other side to match it now.
20141128_202025.jpg
Added the LED lights to the Relic Shield so now it'll glow blue on the sides. I'm debating if I want to add saran wrap to the outside to give it more texture or to leave it as it is.
20141129_232024.jpg
Here's the shield from the front, painted and all lights turned on.

Huzzah! Another update!

My Ghost is complete. I'm still working on the stem part of it. My plan is to have the ghost sit on my shoulder, then detach and sit in my hand via some strong rare earth magnets. I got a friend who works at a local magnet factory who can hopefully get me some bigger, stronger magnets for the job.

Some pics of progress for the Sword of Crota. Took some hours to burn in all the detail work, and I still have the other side to work on as well. All in all it's turning out pretty cool looking so far.

Looking sweet!
 
Re: Destiny Hunter build, with Relic Shield, Last Word, and Sword of Crota (WIP)

Back with the final update before I take this build out to a con later this month. Been busy with other projects, but I've managed to put the finishing touches on this one at least.

Took a stab at the hunter knife......get it?.....stab?......ok, I'll stop. The back finger loop broke off when trying to sand it smooth so I decided to let it go. It's made from ash wood.
20141222_183023.jpg
I attached a miniature fog machine called The Wizard Stick to the back of the relic shield. When te trigger is pulled it filters smoke through a clear pvc tube on the back and it seeps through the openings on the front. It was hard to time it right for the camera, but a little bit can be seen in the pic above. Usually a lot more comes rolling out.
20141223_235351.jpg
I finished the Sword of Crota. All the burn details were done with a wood burner (NOTE: If you do this, please be in a well vented area and wear a protective mask. These fumes are very potent and very bad to breathe in). The sword is super lightweight making it wieldable by anyone.

I managed to get the ghost to "float" in the palm of my hand thanks to some rare earth magnets. I'm still trying to work on getting him to float on my shoulder as well, but haven't found a good solution to the problem yet. If worse comes to worse, I'll put a little key loop on the top of him and make an attachment for my belt.
Also, I did complete my belt but have no picture of it yet. I put two gold metal bathroom towel hangers on it to hold The Last Word and the hunter knife, as well as 3-4 pouches for other stuff. The con is at the end of January so I hope to post some pics early February of the completed costume.
 
Hunter build is done! Thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout the build. As promised here are some pictures that were taken during the con. Enjoy =)
