I have to say apart from the scale of the builds...they are actually pretty darn good! :) Love the secod leg piece pic...can i see a cheeky smirk there...can i....see a cheeky smirk...hmmm...can i? :)

I agree...hehehe...the assasins creed is subtle. People just look so confused. Really love the last bit when he dives over the fence into the field..:)

I have to say...the GOW armour looks really heavy! o_O I am sure it isnt....or the wearing of it would be for short troops. That aside i think it is one of the most menacing eye catching costumes. Think i would feel pretty small next to one of those dudes. Love to see that at an expo.

That is what i strive for in marine armour detail. Kind of thinking of Pming Adam....;)....never know....may come to an armour understanding.. :cool: ... The accuracy and detail of the armour in Adams pics show the passion and effort he has. Thats fact not sucking up. :) What i love about the...

Cheers bud. I am very interested in that leg strap system on the link. Looks ideal. The marine i am working from is this among others.... And thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to contributing to the 405th. :)

:) no. The cap is a bad habit I picked up when I used to live in the US. No offence to my American brothers ;) now I seem to always have a cap on! I am working on the thigh holsters/ straps next. The armour us hopefully in the pipeline. There is a lot of black in the upper torso on the halo3...

Maybe just put a srap on your AR or what ever gun is ging on the back?! Bit like a hunting rifle might have. Down side is that none of the guns in Halo have straps put practically at least you know its safe. For the pistol a holster or magnet system would be ok as it is on your thigh and close...

Well i have began to collect the first parts to my marine. I have been looking at various patterns and colours of the marine combats. I chose the british desert style. I have magnu boots and webbing belt. Here is a few pics to show me in the colours and i intend to add many more to show the...

Yup second pic armour looks good. Did not like the undersuit in the rubies....bit like a black rubbish sack...:) NAS armour is much nicer and i guess we dont all have the skill or time to build our own. So i think its cool if you buy armour. As long as you feel proud and happy in what you...

I think it is the most accurate and detailed ever made to date. I am fussy when it comes to accuracy and i cannot fault it. If that was mass produced you could get a whole squad, company in identical look and that would in itself be very impressive at any expo or event. Adam, have you...

I tell you what would really cool....on the finished costume, the sound of armour servo's as you walk and turn! It would add to the menacing powerful effect. Dont ask me how you could do it as i am not a wiz at circuitry or electrics but maybe worth a thought. As a huge Ironman...

Good point. The buckles appear to be chrome on the marines. I was looking in B&Q today at black straps, black Velcro and also gloves, and black undersuits. I was also wondering about elbow and knee pads for the marines. I have got the belt and leg strappings near the holster-like thigh pieces. I...

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say that I really like 'last of the brave' on Halo 3 soundtrack. :)

Ship, I would heed any advice given. You will get help and advice. Might have been a little wiser to have waited to start a build thread once the build was trully underway with informative progress pics. Just my pennies worth mate. :)

Maybe a stencil or matt vinyl pattern system?
