I'll be there for sure as the little red and white chief. Had no time to make other suits this year or weapons Dx Walmart has this pretty cool FX lightsaber though...for $30...hmm...Dual pistols again or wana-be energy sword...

I dont know if you've seen this youtube tutorial yet but it is great for teaching one how to make foam armor using pepakura. It has 7 parts, I watched the whole thing and I know what to do now I just have to decide what I want to make this year. Halo 4, Reach, remake Classic Cyrax or the new...

No problem, I've done my prior research when it comes to the cyber ninjas. I hope your suit goes well. I've never seen the MK9 Cyrax done yet so I'll help in anyway I can. If your suit turns out great it'll help me whenever I start to make mines.

Ahh paper clay! Thats creative! That brings back memories of my Cyrax build oh say 10 or so odd years ago, give or take a year xD I used cardboard and model magic for that, was quite the undertaking but was fun! Model Magic was a kind of paper clay that air dried, very light and a dream to...

For the feet you could get your hands on some Tabi boots. They are made in a similar way with a split sole at the end for the big toe.

Oh good, then you can use that method for your final boots. Ive done it with my suit, it works great! Just have to sacrifice a pair of shoes/boots.

This is inspiring to look at. I'm going to have to jump on this foam bandwagon faster than I originally thought! Research time! Great build! I will be watching this one for tips when I make my next armor.

What you could do is make certain sections of armor out of foam instead of fiberglass like the knee and elbow joints. I've seen people with entire foam suits and they have great mobility and can look just as nice as a fiberglass suit. The method is a modded version of putting together a pep...

Hey just took a look at your build, looks pretty nice. One thing I'm worried about are the toe caps. If your going to be doing a lot of walking in this suit those straps are probably going to wear down and they will come a loose. If you dont mind turning those shoes into a dedicated boot for...

Ohhh I love Cyrax! My favorite character since MK3! I'll be keeping my eye on this build. I was planning on doing this way in the future when I get good with foam because I want to be able to move without worrying about limited mobility and my armor clashing at the joints like it does with my...

Its in Atlanta, GA and the membership at the moment costs $90 dollars. I just ordered mines the other day. Its best to get it ASAP because it gets more expensive as the time to the con gets closer. After 5/15/12 it will go up to $105 dollars, then past 7/13/12 it will go up to $120. Is it...

I'll be there! I'll be pre-registering this week. I'll be bringing my red and white Mark 6 armor again. If I somehow churn out another suit in between now and Dragoncon I'll update this post and probably march with that. For now though its my trusty Halo 3 Mark 6 representing for the reds!

You know I'll be there, its not even a question. My attendance to Dragoncon is mandatory. I'll be per-registering for it in a week or so. I'm not planning on making another halo suit at least not out of fiberglass/bondo. (Not the most comfortable thing!) Might try a Halo 4 helmet though...

This looks like a great first build! Very nice bondo smoothing work...and yeah hot glue for pieces that take on stress is not a good idea...I learned that the hard way last year lol For those kind of straps rondo, f1 cement, epoxy, or gorilla glue are the only choices. When you walk the boots...

Yeah like everyone else said, motorcycle replacement visors are usually the way to go, especially for the mark VI helmet. 2 visors are not required to have a good effect though. Last year my helmet only had 1 visor then this year I bought another one and did the dual visor method. It adds...
