***Official 343 Industries request*** 343i is currently seeking to purchase an accurate, full-sized prop rocket launcher (M41 SSR version only) from either: Halo 3 Halo 3 ODST Halo Reach Halo 4 Halo 5 If chosen, this prop will be displayed in their museum, and could possibly be used in...

I am not certain what came of that conversation. I will be following up with him in the near future though! Stay tuned :D

Thank you! To be honest, it was a "right place, right time" sort of deal! I had just completed the Halo 4 Master Chief for "The World's Tallest Spartan" and we had gone to ECCC. I made a point of taking him and the suit to 343i's booth with the intention of catching their eye. It certainly did...

Go for it!! Our files were sourced directly from 343i as per the video above and our contract with them (sorry, files are still not share able). However, there are no longer any molds from this suit as I destroyed all of them. If you choose to make your own, that would be awesome!!!

Thank you! Yes, wet sanding simply means using a wet/dry sandpaper (the package will state this), and while sanding, you just use ample amounts of water :D It helps by keeping the dust down to zero, applying lots of water will keep the sandpaper clean - thus more effective, and your sanded area...

Also, if your project is completely sealed (ie: coated in resin, thus waterproof), I highly recommend wet sanding when possible!

Just caught up with this build :) Yes, Pepakura is a long and tedious task indeed! Your patience (and testing, which I highly commend) is fantastic. I understand the discouragement you feel from time to time, especially when dealing with a "failure". None of us get it right the first time, that...

Pretty much all set up! I have a few things left to get worked out/catch up on still. Hoping to work on my website after this weekend and get the web shop up and running again :)

Yes, all my undersuit parts are cast. For my H3 ab-wrap mold, I simply created it out of EVA craft foam, built up the edges, applied a release agent, then poured rondo to make the mold. Once it cured, I removed the EVA craft foam, and now just pour a couple layers of tinted mask latex followed...

For the boots, I subset "T-nuts" into the armor parts with epoxy, then attached them to a cast rubberized boot (but this could be any footwear you decide to use). It was a major pain to get the screws into the t-nuts through the boot portion, but I managed with patience and thread lock. Since I...

Hello he4thbar! I have limited experience working with foam clay, but from what I have, it is pretty easy to work with. Just make sure it is fully dry before you start sanding! Personally, for sculpting, especially on another substrate, I use Smooth-On's Free Form Air, or Free Form Sculpt. Both...

Hey Random, reach out to me when you get a chance. I might have an ab-wrap for you!

Hey, we all know how life gets in the way! You are doing a fantastic job, and I know when you finish... no matter how long it takes, you will wear it with pride! Keep up the fantastic work, it is looking great!!

Hey all! Sorry I have been gone so long. I have been super busy working with our beloved company on super secret projects for a very long time. Over 3 years! I have done my best to represent the Pacific Regiment as the Commanding Officer, and hope that I have performed my duties the best I...

Holy WOW! I agree, don't worry about the optics! I would be more than happy to get a raw cast of a perfect helmet that I can work out the details on! My motto is: the less moving parts (or in this case, the less "tricky" parts), the less points of failure. This is not meant as a negative thing...
