Fantastic! Then my job is done! Well, the building side isn't, but the inspiring work is done. Get to it! I expect to see a madcore Power Armour build from you shortly! COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I totally have a semi-update! Everything that is currently down in the shed all laid out. It looks a lot more impressive like this than when they're spread all over the place. Views of the chest-piece. As the markings show, I still have a ton left to do! The codpiece. Finishing this...

I STARTED THIS LIKE TWO YEARS AGO, MAN! THAT'S A LONG TIME OF NOT DOING THINGS! Luckily, I'll be taking a break from this soon and starting a second project. My mate's 18th birthday is coming up soon, and he's a massive Halo fan. His name's Samuel, so the plan was to make one of the original...

Thanks dude! The main problem I have is my own laziness and lack of motivation. It's usually a choice of 'change clothes, head downstairs, set up everything, and work on armour' or 'sit in bed on the laptop'. I'm just incredibly slack, and mid-November is now looking closer by the day. Being on...

Guise, I'm totally still doing this! How long's the 405th been back up? I checked it daily for like two weeks and it was always down? Anyway, more stuff! Helmet with body filler, spray putty and primer, respectively. Which, after painting, looks totally awesome! Front-on view, sans...

So far, so good man! Gotta say though, not having the numbers printed on the sheets must have SUCKED. I probably would've just rage-quitted, chucked all the paper and just re-printed it. As carpathiavh99 said (why do you have such a difficult username?!), getting an actual respirator is a good...

Awww, thanks! It would be a lot better if I wasn't so slack! I have no idea how much I've spent. Not TOO much, surprisingly. I have no job or constant income, yet I never seem to be out of supplies. I'm WAY too slack to aim for perfection. Close enough is good enough for me - especially since...

Hey guys, if literally ANYONE is still following this build. Most likely not - I'm lazy as hell, with sporadic updates. Anyway, speaking of updates... Quick test-fit of the thigh guard. Awwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaah. Semi-test fit of everything fibreglassed so far. I look ridiculous, but I'm...

I feel bad, guise. I've been lazy as hell and haven't done any work. My sincerest apologies, especially since I said I'd keep this one up to date. Well, after a month-long hiatus, I've decided to forge on and aim for the now-ridiculously close deadline of November. We now have... Both thigh...

Guys, my dad managed to come across some fibreglass cloth. It's different from the normal fibreglass matting in that instead of fibres going everywhere, they're woven and interlaced, making it much cleaner, but apparently less strong. Any of you guys used this before, and experiences?

Nah, mine have been really sweet so far. With a bit of padding my helmet will sit perfectly. Do you remember what type of helmet it was, like who the modeller and unfolder was?

Thanks for the ideas. I reckon I'll cut in half and glass the inside...or...I REALLY don't know. Rondo might work, although my first experience with it didn't really work that well. Thanks though. It's given me a bit to think about.

I've been very lazy lately, what with getting back into Halo: Reach and the new Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn trailer being released, but I did do...well, not much, but a little... The codpiece. It pretty much fits fine. I think I'll cut down just one side so it flexes a little, and then use...

Guess-sized codpiece: Ok Printed codpiece, 11 pages: Ok Cut codpiece: Ok Glued top of codpiece and support strut: Ok Realised that it was, in fact, about seven or so centimeters too small from left to right: Bollocks Realised I only have 9 pages of cardstock left and the upsized codpiece will...

My just-completed +2 Knee Pads of Defence, with a dual-support structure upgrade. No, but seriously, crossing that off my list felt amazing. Next up, I've decided, is the Mk.VIII 'Errant' codpiece, at 12 pages. Not TOO bad, I think.
