Howdy, everyone! I apologize about not posting sooner, but I've been a little busy lately. Between Emergency Pharmacology class, ambulance/hospital clinical shifts, church functions, army reserve drills, scraping a living off rocks and continued efforts to win the affections of a certain girl...

Wow, I'm in love...

Goin old school... very nice, man. Keep on building!

Looks awesome so far, keep it up! And now that someone else is going to be a Transformer for the movie premiere, I'm wondering if I still should... oh well, I bet you weren't going to go as Soundwave anyways... how lame was that guy...

Pure: I used the Rookie helmet by RUNDOWN. Here's where I got it: http://halocostuming.wikia.com/wiki/Pepakura_File_Index And thanks to everyone for the compliments and encouragement!

OK, time for a new update. I haven't gotten much time to work on the helmet over the past couple weeks, due mostly to clinicals, but I did manage to squeeze some time in. Right now, the name of the game is Fill, Shape, Sand, Rinse, Repeat. It's taking a lot of time, but I know that the end...

Thanks, 0235! If I stick with my chevrons, I'll probably use a light grey paint so it doesn't jump out too much. But I'm keeping my shark mouth! And I'm honestly surprised that so many people are surprised there are no numbers- I just forgot to include edge numbers and just rolled with it...

Absolutely incredible. I have had trouble working with fiberglass in the past, so I'm actually kind of jealous. But I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out! Hopefully when my armor is finished, it'll look half as good as your armor does now! Again, great job! ODST!!

Awesome armor! I love that paint job- you don't really see a lot of paint schemes like that- most are just the same old solid colors. Again, great job, especially on the helmet.

No title. I believe that where's a will, there's a crazy person who will make it happen. If you have your heart set on a circulating cooling vest, I'm sure one can be created, instead of rooting through a pile of vests to see what would best suit you. Water pumps, batteries, medical tubing...

Really? I thought they were only particle filters. There was a strong breeze out, but near the end of the resining, I thought I could smell the resin. I just figured I got the wrong ones. Anyways, I was up late, playing around with ideas for my helmet with some sharpies and a ruler. Though I'm...

Thanks for hanging in there, everyone! Initial fiberglass is done, and I couldn't be happier! Pics first, though. Enjoy! I found out a little too late that I had the wrong filters on my respirator. Oh well, maybe next time. Predator Shoulder-Cam! Once the resin dried, I poured what was...

Awesomeness, man. Pure awesomeness.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone! Now that the easy part is over, I figure I might as well write a brief narrative of my pepping experience- hopefully other newbies might benefit from a tip or two, or at least get a good idea of what not to do! First and foremost, thanks to RUNDOWN for...

Thank you for your help, sir. I'm only 24, but I felt a lot older about fifteen minutes ago...
