Hi guys was just wondering if you could help me with the idea of making a cast of this pony it stands roughly 400mm high and 200 long. Im gonna fill and sand it before casting but havin never tried casting doing something this big is a daunting task.

Thanks for the advice guys, good to know they dont hold there shape :) And spitfire's right it feels better knowing youve built em, good source of accomplishment

well im not good at the weathering effects of painting so i think ill be going for a more rvb inspired look over the authentic masterchief look, bright red for the sarge :) so i think they may look ok once theyve been repainted. Only time will tell ;)

Hey i was just wondering if anyone has or has seen anyone with a pair of these http://www.joke.co.uk/master-chief-halo-gauntlets~90164/ i have seen them sonewere else before for £10 cheaper so for £25 i think they look pretty damn good. I already have the 2 shoulders, chestplate, helmet and...

Well there is a pep file for the body of the warthog on http://halocostuming.wikia.com/wiki/Pepakura_File_Index I was gonna have a go at making it, using some smooth cast to harden it then strip the body from a cheap r/c buggy and attaching the warthog to the buggy. If ur after a life size 1 i...

conserning the road warrior ma5b.. does the scaling take into count the extra length and width that the optional barrels in the 3d model take up? coz im building it to the preset size and the parts ive done so far appear smaller than i would think especially compared to my lo def version...

Never mind, found jedistumpys video of casting his helmet. Looks pretty damn strong by the way he drops it and it bounces back (literally Haha)

ok great thanks guys, is it the same consistancy as rondo (thick like Treacle) or is it nice and runny so it can easily get in everywere? Also u say very strong is it better than rondo or weaker?

Hey guys sorta lost my cool with making my props a while bak but im getting bak in the saddle with something big.. The roadwarrior ma5b, i have the lo def version close to finish with rondo on the inside for strength, BUT... it warped on the front (barrel section) of the gun. I was wondering if...

I think what a spartan can survive depends a lot on each spartan individually, in First Strike when the spartan team abandon a damaged pelican in midflight the fall from the pelican to the ground kills 4 of them outright and wounds a large amount of the team, the 4 that died may not have been as...

ive started using rondo instead of fibreglass mainly because of the speed of the process, its much much faster than using fibreglass and it gets into all the raised/lowered areas that would be really difficult to glass otherwise. But as stated privously it can warp the piece you are doing if u...

Looks like brilliant stuff, and a major time saver. Will it be as strong as fibreglasing or do you just have to be a little more careful with the finished prop? Thanks for the help ;)

Hi everyone, ive been reading the forum for a few weeks but wanted to get some progress on my build before i started posting :). Ive deided to go for the Mark VI armor and so far i have got 1 shoulder/bicep piece glassed and awaiting final finishing, the FS MK VI helmet almost peped and a...
