Didn't the halo 1 manual describe the chief as a cyborg? Furthermore the definition of a cyborg is so loose that even simple non mechanical prosthetics qualify, if stuff like glass eyes and peg legs (frsrsly) count, I would think the modifications the chief underwent would count. It doesn't...

Ambrose is quite right, If you want something like that be prepared to spend quite a bit. By no means however should you despair, even the cheapest wacom will most certainly become an invaluable part of your drawing process. Be aware though, a wacom only works digitally. For most people...

Ah bioshock, I really liked system shock 2, so I'm even more impressed that I enjoyed bioshock so much since I had pretty high expectations. I kinda saw the big plot twist coming though. Now I'm just working on getting all the achievements.

I'll be playing campaign on my mono 14" crt until my eyes bleed. Multiplayer can wait until I get back from the hospital.

I've actually thought about this a lot and I think I have a fairly good answer. It's clear that elites eat meat. As it's been said before, their muscle density is so extreme that they would need be almost soley carnivores. Also, in order to support their weight and general durability, their...

I remember seeing that stuff in the hardware store before, but I never would have thought to use it like that. That's really impressive, it certainly gives me some interesting ideas. Do you know how well it sands though?

Nice, very stylish, but does the emblem link anywhere? or is this just a taste?

That is generally implied. You know, these sorts of questions could very easily be answered by wikipedia or any other sort of halo database.

That's a very gramatically incoherent sentence, but I think I see what you're getting at. As far as I can tell the alliances break down as follows. Good guys. Humans Elites(as of halo 3) grunts?(some of them) Bad guys Brutes Prophets Jackals Grunts(most of them) Bugs Parasites...

I have a bit of experience with cardboard, so first things first I recommend you make a wraparound for your head. This'll be the basic frame that you build off of, and it'll make sure that the helmet fits you and isn't too big. After this it's really more up to your own creativity and commitment...

Hey! No! Noooo. You do not wink at me! Just kidding, mine isn't so amazing, I'm sure you can make one just as good or better. I'd say just try new things, and you might find a better way to do things.

Those do seem to be of the same mirrored material, but those aren't very rigid, and would be difficult to work with. It could also be difficult to find it in sufficent square footage. Update. I cut out all the parts for my ar and I'm ready to sand. Unfortunately it turns out we only have...

I used hot glue for the visors, regular glue doesn't hold. Also, I installed the respirator tubes and printed out the templates for my AR so I can get to cutting tomorrow. Next... I guess I'll start making the black rubbery spots for the helmet.

I got the window tint at home depot. As for visibility, it's pretty good in decent light, but it drops of real fast in the dark. I was thinking of installing led's to alleviate that problem though.

Ah, the visor. Well for the base plastic I used one of those clear plastic folders. It turned out to be easy enough to cut with an exacto, but still fairly rigid. Regular glue doesn't work on it though so you'll probably need a hot glue gun. For the tinted layer, I applied a sheet of this...
