Bravo, this work is very nice.
It is very inspirational to someone just starting (like myself) to see good armor like this.
(Even though I may not achieve this level of craftsmanship it gives me goals to aspire to.)

ah, so that's how it works, with the metal.
One other thing, do you do any sculpting with clay?

Those Space Marine helmets were sculpted in clay before the molding and casting was done. Here's a shot of the sculpt in progress:

You could go the same way I did, spend countless hours and no small amount of money and have a very heavy, slightly fragile pepakura-based paper helmet loaded with bondo. Or you could save yourself all sorts of strife and just pick up one of my raw castings in the classifieds. I'm all about making your life easier...

very nice. i have a question about casting it though, and can't seem to find any real answers due to my noobish abilities.
for the molding and casting, is the silicone one whole part like Adam's video of the (I think) ODST helmet?
and if so, when you cast it, did you just slush around some liquid plastic, like centrifugal casting or something?
because if that was the case, then with the master chief helmet, wouldn't most of the liquid plastic just get caught around the visor, since it isn't really too much of a bucket? i want to try to mold a pep MC helmet, but i'm just unsure of the way to go about it =\
but yes, your work is very nice

Most of the people uses this method. You must move the plastic so it touch everywhere before it hardens. And a lot of layers.

Amazing detail! Great job, Thorssoli! (I hope I can get that good someday... )
Your completed Spartan armour will kick ass!

The HD Torso by flying squirrel. It's from THIS THREAD. That's where I got both the helmet and torso models.
I'm surprised there were no other comments on the torso armor.
'Glassing and reinforcing the torso today. Then I can do some bondo work in preparation for making the molds. Pep models of the boots are in progress. Somewhere along the way I've got to do some work on my boat.

This is lookin pretty awesome, and nice job so far on the torso.
How long did that beast take you to assemble? I downloaded the file, opened it, took one look and immediately closed it. After putting together one of FS' HD helmets, I really am not looking forward to that detail on a large scale...
