If there's anyone else who needs a wristband, I'm going to bow out of costuming and walking the parade this year. I've felt lousy the last few days, and subjecting myself to the conditions I remember from last year would likely do nothing good for my health. I wish you all fun though, and I...

Name: George Age: 35 Location: OTP Atlanta, GA Occupation: Retail Conventions: DragonCon, Anime Weekend Atlanta Completed: Halo 3 Marine (foam) In Progress: Halo 3 Mjolnir Mk. VI, Halo 3 Sniper Rifle I'm a long time lurker that has slowly but surely been working on armor.

I started playing Skyrim for the first time just a few weeks ago, and when I first saw this build I thought it was definitely an ambitious project. You've done great, I love how you used the texture on the Worbla to your benefit, and the paint job is awesome. Keep up the great work!

You're off to a good start, keep it up! I'd love to see someone finish a hardsuit build, they're far too rare in my opinion.

Re: RobotChicken's Halo 3 Mk VI Master Chief, Ultra Detail, First Build WIP (many pic I "make" my own little cups by pressing a piece of aluminum foil into a muffin tin, then just throw out the piece of foil when I'm done. I always work in 1-2oz. batches as it gets decently hot here, and I...

Presuming the world doesn't end, I'll be there.

Are we still meeting at the Marriott? When I checked in for the parade the woman is dealt with wasn't even sure which group we would be under.

Yeah, I wish it stayed cool-ish here all year. I'm in the Hotlanta area. If I reinforced the inside with foamies using hi-temp, would that maybe alleviate the possible issues, given it's going to be sealed?

Lovely, I made sure to get a glue gun that was hi-temp, but all the glue where I shop was multi-temp. Seeing as I've already built my pieces, how horribly boned am I?

I've already submitted the form on the D*con website, but I'll chime in here! Provided the weather gives me enough time to work outside I'll be there. Hopefully this year I won't experience a breakdown with the train, but not sure what the logistics will be for getting there with my armor :P

If the MDF gets soaked through and dries out a few times, it will turn to crap that can be easily broken apart. I had a display at work that sat outside for a while before going into the dumpster, and I had an easy time breaking it up thanks to all the moisture it had dealt with. I doubt it...

Okay, yeah, so I'm doing a Mk. VI build, but who isn't these days? ;p Basic end goal is somewhat similar to the Team Black design, but with Recon chest and shoulder perms. I've been sizing out most of the pieces since shortly before the weather turned to crap for working with resin/bondo...

Thanks guys. I used a standard sewing pin as it was the smallest thing I had to get an even hole of appropriate size. I think a got a drop or two extra though, or maybe just a touch less resin than I should have (pouring 1oz. from a 1gal. can ain't exactly easy without making a mess), cause I...

This is going to sound like a silly question, but I want to get my mix right: what should be used to make the hole in the tube of liquid catalyst? A needle? I want to make sure I don't make the hole to big and flash cure the resin or make it too small and end up with ruined peps. I haven't seen...

I've done a few peps, and I'm in the process of getting together all the stuff I need to move on to the resin/glass/bondo/etc stages. I've read numerous posts on here, and several other sites, but I still have a few questions I'd like to see answers to before I go much further. I've found...
