Here's a pic of most of the cast and crew.

Thanks for all the awesome compliments everyone! I finished the suit, and we have already finished filming for the Mass Effect: Eclipse short film. CLICK HERE to see some pictures of the painted armor. Don't mind the white socks. I used black socks during filming, don't worry. XP Also, I...

Oh okay, that's cool. I actually drew out all of the templates myself onto poster paper by just looking at screenshots, gameplay, and trailers, and then measuring myself to make a best guess of how each piece should be sized or proportioned. It's quite a difficult armor to work with because the...

Ya, I actually just finished putting masking tape all over my straps and buckles to begin painting on the plasti-dip, adhesive promoter, and a flat black. Then I'll do all of the color using acrylics, which will be the yellow with black logos, the metal trim, some weathering, and finally the...

The only weapon needed for the film is the M-3 Predator, so probably not. But there's a chance I'll make another weapon prop for a future film project or something.

If you saw my EVA foam M-3 Predator pistol thread here, you may already know that I am also working on some EVA foam Eclipse Mercenary armor. Well, I finished the pistol, and have been very busy working on the mercenary suit. I chose to make the Eclipse mercenary from the Mass Effect 2 CGI...

My dremel actually broke early in the project, so I did lots and lots of sanding by hand. After using the more rough sandpaper to make the job quicker, I used finer sandpaper to smooth out the surface more. Then I tightened the sanded surface by hitting it really quick with a heat gun.

Mainly 3/8 inch foam mats, and thin craft foam for some details.

It is complete! I attempted to use masking tape to create the decals, but it wasn't giving me the straight lines I wanted. So, since I'm pretty good with a paintbrush, I did all of the decals freehand. Then I used the dry brush technique with silver and black paint to give the decals some...

Okay, so the majority of the gun is painted... First, I started with a flat black base coat. The rest of the painting was all done with acrylic paint, using the dry brush technique. I went with this technique because I wanted to give the gun a scratched metal look. Really easy to do, and you...

Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! Glad you like the gun :D Ya, go right ahead! I'd be happy if you used my template. Let me know how the guns turn out when they're done. :) If an area required a lot of sanding, I would first carefully try to remove chunks of the foam by...

This is an M-3 Predator pistol that I am creating out of EVA foam for my friend's Mass Effect based fan film. This is my first time working with EVA foam, as well as making a prop weapon. After this gun is finished, I will be working on a foam Eclipse Mercenary armor, also for the film. This is...

I noticed that the Mark V [B] helmet in Halo: Reach has a UNSC bardcode on the back. And I was thinking that it would be neat to have a barcode version of something such as my Xbox Live gamertag on the back of my Mark V [B] helmet when I make one. So, I was searching around and found this site...

I'm glad these screens could help! I may eventually take reference screenshots of each piece of the Mark V [B] armor. I'll consider it. I wanted the screenshots to be of armor that didn't sport any add-ons. I don't have the visor element purchased anyways as of right now. After you have...

I took these screenshots in Halo: Reach because I wanted to make a model of the Mark V [B] helmet, and I thought that someone else could also make use of them for something. Maybe using them as a reference for details.
