Could you go over more of how you built it? I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to electronics but I'd be happy for a blade that just turns on and off haha

Finished and painted! Honestly this has turned out so much better than I could've hoped for and I'm so proud of it. I accomplished everything I wanted to achieve in this build. All of the ideas I had ended up working out in the end too! Like using hot glue sticks as needles, Christmas lights to...

Thanks! I like the white too, but I haven't painted anything yet. They'll end up being pink, I'm planning on using pinkish purple nail polish to color the needles

Thanks bro! Ive worked hard on it so I really do appreciate it

I've got alot of progress done on the Needler I'm making, not in the amount of time that I wanted, but it is almost done. I recently made the grip for it and the only thing left for me to make I this little piece that sticks out below the needle compartment. Everything else is just details...

Thanks for the solid advice! There is a Lowes not to far from me too. Ill see what they have there. Im not sure how easy plexiglass would be to cut, but we’ll see. I have a dremel, but it’s just a standard 2 speed one. I bought it this year and I love it. As for painting, Im sure you would...

I haven’t been able to get to a printer to print off the templates for the armor Im making, so Ive been working on other things. One of the projects the I recently started and definitely want to finish by the end of this month is a Needler. Im going to run you through the steps Ive taken so...

Thanks TurnoCharizard!!

See, I knew his templates weren’t completely accurate. So the fact that you’d have to use his templates AND templates from the Armory to make it more legitimate seems kind of counterproductive. Like baking a cake with cake mix and not using the directions on the back of the box. I guess it’s...

Awesome! Anything can help, but I probably won’t be going too in depth. I was told today that as long as it looks good from 10 feet away then it’ll look good on camera.

I couldn’t really find any reference images of the undersuit! I guess parts underneath the armor dont really matter that much anyways though. You are seriously amazing at what you do by the way. I know how to sew, I just really suck at it. I think Im going to do a ducktape dummy of parts that...

electricknite’s undersuit is absolutely crazy! I don’t have a sewing machine or a serger at the moment so it would make hardcore sewing like that much more time consuming and difficult. I actually had a hard time finding progress pictures of your undersuit, but your armor lighting and knife look...

This is more than likely what I plan on doing. I might look into getting a custom sublimated undersuit, but I’m probably more focused on frugality than accuracy at my current state. A custom undersuit SOUNDS expensive, and also Id benefit from making my own pieces. The Halo Reach undersuits are...

I know Deployment is optional, but Im planning on building a costume and Im over the age of 18, so I don’t see why I shouldnt go for it. Andrew DFT’s patterns are missing some details compared to the pep files, so I would assume that the best you could possibly get when using his templates is a...
