Update 1 I have finished cutting all of the pieces for the helmet. No pics as of yet though. I figure a bunch of cut outs wouldn't be very much fun to look at anyway lol. I will start gluing and post pics of that. Stay tuned! -Anthony

@Cjsuner: Thanks for the heads up on that one. Is there any way to make it smaller/ less bulky if I were to scale it down and still have it fit alright? @Night stalker 0722: I have been thinking how to go about that ,but yes, I will be adding it. I was thinking about gluing together a small...

Just like the title states, I will be starting my UNSC Marine armor today. It will be the version from "Halo: Combat Evolved", as this is my first armor set I have ever attempted. I figure that it will be the easiest to start off with. My first piece will be the Helmet. Followed by the...

I'm not sure about that one. But even so, that's nothing a that little improvisation wont fix. I'm almost positive that someone will find a way to customize and add things as they see fit along the way to give the prop a more "Cinema quality" feel.

http://halocostuming.wikia.com/wiki/Pepakura_File_Index#Halo:_Combat_Evolved_MJOLNIR_Mark_V_Armor I came across a couple designs for some forerunner pieces on the Halo costuming wiki. If you scroll down it looks like someone got a hold of a couple early stage renders for the forerunners helmet...

Macattack: Yeah I was there it was pretty crazy. Not AS good as last years but still a decent convention. I was still able to get a masamune aka sephiroth's sword. Null: Yeah I have a taurus pt92 which is the EXACT same just made by a diff company and has metal internals. I have thought...

Alright, so the only reason i'm posting this here is because this is the only place I can post for now. Anyway, I found myself playing Resident Evil 3 one night and While watching Nemesis twitch in his own bloody, purple gore, I thought to myself for a bit. "Wouldn't it be awesome if someone...

I think what the doctor was referring to was casting plaster. You can get craft grade plaster at most art supply and hobby shops too for just around the house crafts. It may not be as strong as medical grade plaster but it would definitly do you major justice. Also, the medical grade is hard to...

Wow thanks alot guys. Feeling pretty confident on getting started with thistomorrow. I appreciate all of the great suggestions and will keep you quys posted on my progress if youd like. I wish all of you luck on any future projects as well! ;) Anthony

Wow thanks guys that was pretty fast. lol. when fiberglassing, do i put the Fiberglass Mat on the inside and THEN resin, or am I wrong on that one? lol. And yea I figured Id start with the easy part of the armor just to get my hands dirty and get the hang of things. Thanks again for the...

So Im done with the pep on my left bicep and I was just wondering what steps I follow from there. What order do I Bondo, Resin, Fiberglass mat? I just need to know what comes first second third. Plus If Im missing anything (other than sanding) Please let me know!!!!!!!!! Thanks :D Anthony

Looks great man. Just make sure that you have a lot of support going on throughout the inside if theres alot of room inside to keep it from moving around on your head. I had that problem..lol

Hey ithica, when you were talking about "Cheating" where you talking about using molds instead of going through pep and all that other stuff? lol. Jw.

Hey guys So I took a pic of what I got from working on the left bicep for a couple hours: Most of the Pieces on the left are put together already, while the pieces on the right are still to be glued.. More to come soon. It will most likely be the fully pepp'd product. Stay tuned...

Thanks guys. Itll help in my decision greatly =] THis isnt really a progress just yet, kind of a heads up to a progress thread. But ill keep it in mind when posting another thread like this in the future. Well I have a lot of printing to do, bbl.
