Wow thank you guys for all your suggestions! I have considered Aqua Resin but I shall also look into Smooth cast as well. As for molding, I don't really think it's going to mold as long as it's dry but I'm not entirely sure. This is a test after all so I'll probably scrap this helmet when...

Hi all! So let me introduce myself real quick. I'm Killer Koala and I joined the 405th back in 2007 with dreams of being good ol' chiefy for Halloween. It didn't work out so well and I had a bad scuffle with superglue so I never really got past the pepping stage. BUT NOW I'M BACK WITH A...

Ah ha...Thanks for pointing that out guys. I appreciate that, I really do, but I've decided to stick with a Mark VI build and finish it for Reach/Halloween. I figured since it's my first set of armor I shouldn't do anything too fancy. If somewhere down the road I still wanna wear that skull on...

I too thought of this and I'm pretty much gunna agree with everybody else. I've played paintball for years and there's no doubt the other team is gunna single you out. If you're wearing regular clothing or paintball armor, most of the time when you get hit, they'll bounce off you but not break...

Wow! That looks great! What an awesome combination. How long did it take you to pep all that?

I'd say I've had a fair amount of pepping experience. I've done an arm here and there, the rookie helmet, and now I'm starting the Reach chest. I just haven't really gone past the pepping stage yet or pep a full set of armor I've looked at the Reach files and they don't seem too difficult...

I've thought about that as well. I'll ask around while I get started on pepping :D

Yeah it's plastic so I think it should subdue to the wrath of a hair dryer. Thanks for your input!

Yeah I know what it feels like to start something and not being able to finish it in time I was dead set on finishing my armor before Halo 3 came out, but I didn't quite happen. So then we aimed for Halloween, but that didn't really happen either. I was super gluing my armor together late one...

I'd bet you a cookie that they're the same thing :lol It's probably an ammo pack of sorts. Do you think it's worth pepping? Or is it something you could just pick up at a backpacking store?

Yeah the thing is, I don't think I'm ready to jump into mold making and vac-form right now, especially considering that I have yet to complete a set of armor :unsure I'm also not too fond of resin, so I'll be making my armor with paper mache. I know this is very limiting but I'm still looking...

I really want to thank you guys for doing all this and giving us the ability to make armor! But while we're on the topic of Emile, I noticed that he has some sort of attachment on his left thigh. This was the best pic I could find, but if anybody else has any insight on this please let me know...

Hi all! So I'm beginning my journey to make a set of Emile's armor (come on, with that skull on his face, who couldn't resist). The thing is, his visor takes up most of the helmet, much like the EVA visor. It's not exactly a grab-a-motorcycle-visor-and-stick-it-in job. So I was doing some...

Looking pretty good dude! Nice job pepping and resining there. I'm really digging your DMR too. How'd you put that together? With the blueprints or just by eyeballing it?

Your awesomeness at pepping has inspired me to get a move on with my own armor! And those two pistols are pretty badass too :cool I'm just curious, but where did you find your gloves? They seem perfect for a Spartan!
