Thanks guys :D I actually bought a really nice rotary tool set that was on sale here at Canadian Tire. It's regularly $120, I got it for $40 so can't complain. It works really well too ^_^ Been studying for midterms next week and have a birthday approaching, so I haven't had much time to put...
Watched those tutorials, those are wicked! I'm dying to try this now, as soon as I get enough money to purchase more Bondo rofl. Began dremmel detailing on helmet. Should have more photos tomorrow ^_^
Not sure what spurred this thread, but there's actually proof that he's not Master Chief rofl. *SPOILER WARNING* At the end of the game, there's an Easter egg where you can see MC during the second last cinematic just by changing the camera view. Here's a link for anyone interested, you've been...
Looking wicked daxter! :D Just by looking at the photos you've provided I'd definitely say that's the HD version as well. The small folds on the side circles seem really tightly-knit which is a lot more round than the polygon style of low-def models. It's looking sweet though man, can't wait to...
Added Bondo pics lol. Looks like a giant blob currently, but sanding / carving skills will hopefully make this blob into something a lot prettier tomorrow after class! Stay tuned ^_^
@daxter I hear you man lol, I've been reading consistantly over the forums for this entire process and trying...
Thanks for the support guys :D You're really helping me keep motivated to finish this now ^_^ I agree that some of the Reach changes do look a little bit strange, but I have some ideas to make them look very cool! I was originally thinking about making a UA/HUL permutation of this (Visor looking...
I watched several different Youtube videos. It originally started with "YOUR DAD"'s Emile helmet that I accidentally stumbled across, noticed multiple people sporting the "proud member of 405th infantry division" on their videos afterward and became intrigued with the idea of building my own...
I'm going to be wire-snipping / sanding the excess fiberglass that's sticking out around the visor area + the opening of the helmet. As it currently stands, it looks incredibly dangerous to stick my head into, and I don't plan on doing so anytime soon rofl. I'll attach a pic to show you. Thank...
Currently working on a C.Q.B. helmet. I have the model fully fiber-glassed and I'm going to start sanding + Bondo'ing. I decided to start looking at my in-game character since I'll be using that as the colour scheme (grey/white). While looking at it, I realised that they've completely changed...
Ah good call. Thank you so much :D They only had Workhorse ones while I was at the store so I'll have to check Lowe's or Home Hardware lol. Thanks again for the help, I figured I may as well check here first before I started since I'm new to this rofl.
Ah sorry, hopefully this link works!

I went to Home Depot yesterday and bought a $45 respirator capable of blocking asbestos and lead, I asked the sales associates if it'd also protect against resin particles, and they said it "should" rofl. Unfortunately I'd rather make sure I'm going to be fully protected before I attempt using...
