Sorry if this is a dupe post. Anybody see the Lending Tree commercial, the one where the dude "Scott" is sitting on his bed staring at a mirror and at the end the voice over says "Great Scott"? Take a look at the costume in the mirror, it looks like one of their art directors likes HALO...

Just wanted to let you know what I was thinking when I read, Improve the 405th. I translated this to, how to reduce the amount of redundant questions. Just keep in mind, most people don't read or don't like to read. They want to be spoonfed. Some people don't think to use search, don't know...

Those look awesome! Nice paint job too! I wonder if I get get smooth-on products or something equivalent in Hawaii???

Check out the Legendary Armor Mark VI Helmet for another way to do the vents. Great job on the helmet! I just printed out my pieces and then chickened out and started on the AR instead. I wanted to get some practice since the last time I made a pep helmet was over 2 years ago. Watching...

This part in the red circle? Cheek vents I believe most people use wire loom.

Check out Sigma's ODST Visor Tut

Check the serial number online and see if you can get a quote. If you're lucky it won't cost a thing. Microsoft extended the warranty to three years for red rings, but don't take my word for it, check online. I just sent mine in three days ago for red rings, initial quote was $0, but we'll see...

Correct, the mini maglite is just held in place via friction. :) I used an empty plastic toilet paper holder from K Mart as the Mini-maglite holder. One end of the holder is too wide, but the other end fits perfectly around the mini maglite but only about 1/4 inch in depth. I cut the 1/4...

Sorry, I got the wrong impression. Thought you were thinking mass production...my bad.

I don't think that would be legal, as the likeness of the Chief and Iron Man are copyrighted and all that...somebody correct me if i'm wrong. Cool idea though!

Congrats!!! Say goodbye to sleep! Especially if you are not going to give up costuming or gaming... :)

Nice job! What kind of prep work did you do before painting? Did you seal any of the edges where the rivets are or sand/primer? What did you use as an undersuit? That doesn't look like the extremely hot vinyl suit that comes with the costume.

Looks Great! Can't wait to see the rest!
