Hey everyone! Like I said in my other post, once I got started on it I would start a new post for it. So here we go! With any luck this build will turn out to be a 10 foot tall hunter from halo 3. I was shooting for 12 feet but I was worried about it having poor mobility. So with a lot of head scratching and toying with my drywall stilts, 10 feet tall is my ideal height.
I found the files back in October, which was not easy. Allen Brantley was the person who did the unfold, and my hat is off to him, it was done nicely. The original files are scaled for a 6 foot body, so I had a local print shop up size them 60% and print it on 135 lb card stock. I figured that with the size of most of the parts I needed something a bit heavier that standard card stock.
I will be using a similar color scheme to my son's mark 4 suit. But instead of gold and black I will be doing silver and black with no distressing. I want it to look like it is fresh off the press from the covenant factory!
The first boot!
Let there be two!
This build is going to be a blast!!
