Personally i think the torso is the hardest. At least if you do the Hi-def model (which i recommend since it saves time with bondo). Plus the torso is the biggest part of the suit, so it is also very time consuming. My 2 cents...
That helmet turned out really nice. If you do any molds, i might consider buying a pull from you. and nice work so far. And very brave with pepping the AR, i would hate doing that...
Well you can also sculpt the body out of giant hunks of Styrofoam, and chisel in the details. The only real problem is paint/glue. Some paints and glue will eat the hell out of the foam...
Looks good so far. Although in my opinion your forearms look a little big. And the WETA pep file is too boxy (not like thats your fault :P again thats just me)
The best paper to use is 110 lb (stupid american system. Metric makes more sense) Cardstock. And fiberglass is not plastic. Similar in some respects, but not the same. If you go to a retail hardware store thing, you should be able to find fiberglass fabric. That will do the trick.
I think that if you spent more time pepping your stuff everything would come out alot better. And i have to agree with everyone else, YOu should really stick with fiberglassing and bondo. It might be expensive, but if you have the time and patience, it never fails. Just remember to TAKE YOUR...
Psshh Florida aint cold! Id kill to get out of fricken single digit temps. Anyway, Interesting to see that you pepped your AR. Most people find it easier to scratch build. But you did a great job nonetheless
Its nice to see another person going for the WETA version of the helmet rather than the in game one. I personally like the WETA version better. Really good start. Very clean. I will be watching this to see your final product.
Ya i think that would work. Although it might almost be easier to make it out of cardboard. Cheaper too. But the face shield would be better material wise, and you wouldnt have to worry about reinforcing it.
Personally if you were bound and determined to make an airsoft halo AR, use a FAMAS. You can find some fairly in expensive ones out there. Plus you wouldnt have to worry about moving the magazine, since the FAMAS is bullpup. With a little pep wourk i think this would work best.
