BUILD FINISHED My 1 month speed build is finally done! I can't believe I was able to get this done in time for MegaCon Orlando. For a speed build I think I did pretty good. I had to rush the detailing and painting so it's not where I would have liked it to be, the helmet and chest don't have...

I'll see you guys Friday night and Saturday!

Update 8 - Detailing Alright, it's really getting down to the wire haha. I'm taking a quick break to post this update and give my hands a rest. First up, I very quickly and roughly made some finger armor, no fingertips though. I ended up tracing my hand and drew the armor. I only have the...

You can do any costume that you would like! You can scale the template files in Pepakura Designer to fit your height (I am 6'4") so you can fit the templates to your body. HaloGoddess made an awesome scaling tutorial that you can find HERE. The tutorial is based on Halo 3 but the principles are...

Update 7 - Test Fitting: Alright so now that I'm out of foam and waiting for more to get delivered, I started placing parts on the morph suit. Not shown in the below pictures are the ab plates, boots, bis and tris. Just fitting the larger parts to see how the overall look is. There's some...

Thanks. I'll have to look into those husky blades. I bought 3 packs of 5 blades from Walmart and they are so much better. I don't know what it is with that 100 pack but they just suck. And they're X-Acto brand, not a rip off brand, which just baffles me. Walmart also didn't have any foam so I...

It can take anywhere from a month to a year or more, it depends on skill level and how much time you can dedicate to building your costume. I'd say you could easily meet your goal of 3 months. I'm about done with my Prefect armor and it has only taken a month to do. With you being completely new...

So I used up my last 15 pack of #2 x-acto blades last night and I got to open up my 100 pack. I've gone through about 30 blades in total on this project so far. I was so excited when I opened the box and saw all those pretty blades in there :lol:. I used about 5 on the butt plate. The first few...

Thanks, mblackwell1002 ! For the undersuit, I plan to go all out and try to replicate the in-game one as close as possible.... eventually. It wont get done before the Con so I'll have just a Morphsuit with a couple of the more prominent undersuit parts. Here are my plans for my eventual...

Update 6: Small update tonight, or morning rather haha. Finished up the butt plate. I'm down to a single foam sheet and I have 2 boots to build... that need to fit size 13 boots.... I'm going to need more foam haha. I've already scaled up the boot files and hopefully they will be alright...

No problem, happy to help! (y)

I think the MMCC are just more strict on their guidelines and EVA not being a suitable building material is just a preference in their community. There is absolutely nothing wrong working with EVA foam. Does foam degrade over time? Well, kind of. In my experience the seams are going to be your...

Thanks for clearing up the ranking structure, I too was curious about that haha. I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but if we are in a Regiment it takes the place of our rank in the forum under our names in posts. Is there a way to display both our forum rank and the regiment? Also I...

Update 5: The helmet is 95% complete. Just need to finish the shapes on the back of the helmet and fill in some gaps with caulk. Also got the side release buckles in place on the shoulders, bis, tris, and thighs. All that's left to build is the butt, boots, and maybe the undersuit hips...
